The function C(h)=(2h^2+5h)/(h^3+8) models the concentration of medication in the bloodstream (as a percent) h hours after its i

njection into muscle tissue.
1. a. Determine the domain of the function in the context of this problem.
b. Find the equation of the vertical asymptote of this function. {Hint: a^3+b^3=(a+b)(a^2-ab+b^2)} Would this concern a medical professional? Explain.
2. Find the equation of the horizontal asymptote. What does this mean in this context?
3. Find all of the intercepts of C and interpret their meaning in the context of this problem.
4. How many hours after injection does a maximum concentration of the drug occur in the bloodstream? Round answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answer:

  1. h ≥ 0
  2. C = 0; concentration eventually decays to nothing
  3. (0, 0) is the only intercept in the domain. It means the concentration in the bloodstream is zero at the time the drug is injected.
  4. 1.95 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

1. a. The domain of the function in the context of this problem is h ≥ 0. The maximum value of h will correspond to the time at which the concentration is considered to be negligible. If that time is when the concentration decays to 1% of its peak value, then perhaps the suitable domain is 0 ≤ h ≤ 180.

b. The equation of the vertical asymptote of this function is where the denominator of C(h) is zero, that is ...

  h^3 +8 = 0

  h = ∛(-8)

  h = -2 . . . . the equation of the vertical asymptote

This is not a concern for a medical professional because it is outside the domain of the function.

__

2. As h gets large the value of the function approaches 2/h, which is to say the horizontal asymptote is C = 0. It means the concentration of medication in the blood eventually decays to zero.

__

3. C(0) = 0 is the only intercept in the domain of the function. (h, C(h)) = (0, 0)

In the context of this problem, it means the blood concentration of medication is zero at the time of the injection.

__

4. About 1.95 hours after injection, a maximum concentration of the drug occur in the bloodstream. This value is easily found using a graphing calculator.

Taking the derivative of the function gives you ...

  C'(h) = -2(h^4 +5h^3 -16h -20)/(h^3 +8)^2

This has two real zeros and two complex zeros. The positive real zero is near h = 1.94527, about 1.95.

That is, the concentration in the bloodstream reaches a maximum about 1.95 hours after injection into the muscle.

QUESTION 9

The given right angle triangle has its two legs equal to x\:cm and the hypotenuse is 2\:units.


Using the Pythagoras theorem, we have

x^2+x^2=2^2


This implies that;

2x^2=2^2


2x^2=4


x^2=2


x=\sqrt{2}


x=1.414


x\approx1.4\:units


QUESTION 10


The given right angle triangle has its two legs equal to x\:units and the hypotenuse is 7\:units.


Using the Pythagoras theorem, we have

x^2+x^2=7^2


This implies that;

2x^2=7^2


2x^2=49


x^2=24.5


x=\sqrt{24.5}



x=4.95\:units


QUESTION 11

Sam divided the square backyard into two sections along the 40ft diagonal.

Let one of the sides of the garden be x\:units, then the other side of the garden is also  x\:units since it was a square backyard.


The diagonal is the hypotenuse which is 40ft and the two legs are  x\:units each.


Applying the Pythagoras Theorem, we have;

x^2+x^2=40^2


2x^2=1600


x^2=800


\Rightarrow x=\sqrt{800}


\Rightarrow x=28.28


The length of one side of the garden is approximately 28cm.


QUESTION 12

The hypotenuse of Nicole's right triangular support is 92cm long.


It was given that the two lengths of the triangular support are of equal length.


Let the two lengths of the triangular support be l\:cm each.


We then apply the Pythagoras theorem to obtain;

l^2+l^2=92^2


\Rightarrow 2l^2=8464


\Rightarrow l^2=4232


\Rightarrow l=\sqrt{4232}


\Rightarrow l=65.05cm


Therefore Nicole needs l+l=65.05cm+65.05cm\approx130cm of wood to complete the support.

The correct answer is A.


QUESTION 13

A 45-45-90 triangle is an isosceles right triangle.


Let the length of the two legs be m\:inches each.

It was given that the hypotenuse of this triangle is 12\:inches.


Applying the Pythagoras Theorem, we have;

m^2+m^2=12^2


\Rightarrow 2m^2=144


\Rightarrow m^2=72


\Rightarrow m=\sqrt{72}


\Rightarrow m=8.49


The length of one leg of the hypotenuse is approximately 8.5 inches to 1 decimal place.


QUESTIONS 14.

It was given that the distance from home plate to first base is 90 feet.


Since the baseball field form a square, the length of the baselines are all 90ft.

We want to calculate the distance from home plate to 2nd base,which is the diagonal of the square baseball field.

Let this distance be d\:ft, then using the Pythagoras theorem;

d^2=90^2+90^2


d^2=8100+8100


d^2=16200


\:d=\sqrt{16200}


\:d=127.279


Therefore the distance from home plate to second base is 127 ft to the nearest foot.


QUESTION 15.

The distance from third base to  first base is also 127 ft to the nearest foot.


The reason is that the  diagonals of a square are equal in length.

Answer

Attached the graph

Step by step explanation

Y = -1/4z + 5

Let's form the table values

Here z is the independent variable and y is the dependent values.

Let's take z = -1, 0, 1, 2 and find the corresponding y-values

<u>z                           y</u>

-1                         5.25

0                          5

1                           4.75

2                           4.5

Now let's plot the points and draw the graph.

Here is the graph.

masha68 [24]
Hello,

Using V = (pi)(r)^2(h) :
V = 12
r = ?
h = 8
12 = (pi)(r)^2(8)
12/(8pi) = r^2
sqrt(12/8pi) = sqrt(r^2)
r = .69 in

Good luck to you!
