Concept explainers
(a)
To find:
The cardiac output when the patient first goes into shock and to estimate cardiac output three hours later and to find the time that has passed when cardiac output is reduced to 50% of the initial value.
(b)
To find:
Whether cardiac output is an increasing or decreasing function of blood pressure if the patient is suffering from shock.
(c)
To find:
Whether cardiac output is an increasing or decreasing function of time t if the patient is suffering from shock.
(d)
To explain:
Cardiac output changes as a function of time t and to explain whether it changes rapidly or slowly during the first two hours of shock, during hours 2 to 4 and during the last hour of study and to explain the reason for that the given information is useful to a physician treating a patient for shock.

- Explain the difference between the average rate of change of y as x changes a to b, and the instantaneous rate of change of y at x=aarrow_forwardA driver of a car stopped at a gas station to fill up his gas tank. He looked at his watch, and the time read exactly 3:40 p.m. At this time, he started pumping gas into the tank. At exactly 3:44, the tank was full and he noticed that he had pumped 10.7 gallons. What is the average rate of flow of the gasoline into the gas tank?arrow_forwardCan the average rate of change of a function be constant?arrow_forward
