Medical research has shown that between heartbeats, the pressure in the aorta of a normal adult is a function of time in seconds and can be modeled by the equation P = 95e−0.491t. (a) Use the derivative to find the rate at which the pressure is changing at any time t. P'(t) =     (b) Use the derivative to find the rate at which the pressure is changing after 0.6 second. (Round your answer to one decimal place.)   ----   (c) Is the pressure increasing or decreasing? The pressure is increasing. The pressure is decreasing.
