Question

When a patient with hypertension takes a particular type of blood pressure medication, the effects on the systolic pressure, S(t), can be measured by the following piecewise defined function: S of t is equal to the piecewise function of 140 minus 6 times t if 0 is less than or equal to t is less than or equal to 4 and 116 if 4 is less than t is less than 8 and 96 plus 8 times t if 8 is less than or equal to t is less than or equal to 12 where t is the time, in hours, since taking the medication. Based on the graph of the piecewise function, if the patient takes the blood pressure medication at 8 a.m., in which interval will their systolic pressure be lowest?

Answer 1

Based on the graph, the interval will their systolic pressure be lowest is 4pm to 5pm.

What is the interval in blood pressure ?

The lowest systolic pressure can be seen from 5 and 8 hours after taken the medication.

If we look at the time details then this will fall inbetween the interval of 2pm to 5pm.

According to question, the time range is 4pm to 5pm.

Hence, the interval will their systolic pressure be lowest is 4pm to 5pm.
