- Power Consumption: The figure shows the power consumption in San Francisco for a day in September (P is measured in megawatts; t is hours stating at midnight). (a) What was the power consumption at 6:00 A.M? At 6:00 P.m.? (b) When was the power consumption the lowest? (c) Find the net change in the power consumption from 9:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M/arrow_forwardMedical Drugs When a certain medical drug is administered to a patient, the number of milligrams remaining in the patients bloodstream after t hours is modeled by D(t)=50e0.2t How many milligrams of the drug remain in the patients bloodstream after 3 hours?arrow_forwardOzone Depletion According to an article in the New York Times, "Government scientists reported last week that they had detected a slowdown in the rate at which chemicals that deplete the earths protective ozone layer are accumulating in the atmosphere." Letting c(t) be the amount of ozone-depleting chemicals at time t, what does this statement tell you about c(t), c(t) and c(t)? Source: The New York Times.arrow_forward
- The function A(d) gives the pain level on a scale of 0 to 10 experienced by a patient with d milligrams of a pain- reducing drug in her system.The milligrams of the drug in the patient’s system after t minutes is modeled by m(t) . Which of the following would you do in order to determine when the patient will be at a pain level of 4? a. Evaluate A(m(4)) . b. Evaluate m(A(4)) . c. Solve A(m(t))=4 . d. Solve m(A(d))=4 .arrow_forwardLIFE SCIENCE APPLICATIONS Pollution Pollution begins to enter a lake at time t=0 at a rate in gallons per hour given by the formula f(t)=10(1e0.5t), where t is the time in hours. At the same time, a pollution filter begins to remove the pollution at a rate g(t)=0.4t as long as pollution remains in the lake. a. How much pollution is in the lake after 12 hours? b. Use a graphing calculator to find the time when the rate that pollution enters the lake equals the rate the pollution is removed. c. Find the amount of pollution in the lake at the time found in part b. d. Use a graphing calculator to find the time when all the pollution has been removed from the lake.arrow_forward
