suppose a new drug is developed that appears in laboratory settings to completely prevent people who test positive for human imm
unodeficiency virus (hiv) from ever developing full-blown acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (aids). putting all ethical considerations aside, design an experiment to test the drug. what ethical considerations might arise during the testing that would force an early end to the experiment?
Let , where is the quantity of insecticide, measured in hundreds of liters, and is the total manufacturing cost as a function of the quantity of the insecticide, measured in US dollars. A possible approach to determine which regions of are decreasing and increasing by means of the first derivative and graphing tools. The first derivative of the function is:
(1)
Please notice that regions where C(x) is increasing has , whereas when .
We notice that is increasing in two regions: (i) and (ii) . Besides, decreases in .
