The concentration C of certain drug in a patient's bloodstream t hours after injection is given by

frozen [14]

Answer:

a) The horizontal asymptote of $C(t)$ is $c = 0$ .

b) When t increases, both the numerator and denominator increases, but given that the grade of the polynomial of the denominator is greater than the grade of the polynomial of the numerator, then the concentration of the drug converges to zero when time diverges to the infinity. There is a monotonous decrease behavior.

c) The time at which the concentration is highest is approximately 1.291 hours after injection.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The horizontal asymptote of $C(t)$ is the horizontal line, to which the function converges when $t$ diverges to the infinity. That is:

$c = \lim _{t\to +\infty} \frac{t}{3\cdot t^{2}+5}$ (1)

$c = \lim_{t\to +\infty}\left(\frac{t}{3\cdot t^{2}+5} \right)\cdot \left(\frac{t^{2}}{t^{2}} \right)$

$c = \lim_{t\to +\infty}\frac{\frac{t}{t^{2}} }{\frac{3\cdot t^{2}+5}{t^{2}} }$

$c = \lim_{t\to +\infty} \frac{\frac{1}{t} }{3+\frac{5}{t^{2}} }$

$c = \frac{\lim_{t\to +\infty}\frac{1}{t} }{\lim_{t\to +\infty}3+\lim_{t\to +\infty}\frac{5}{t^{2}} }$

$c = \frac{0}{3+0}$

$c = 0$

The horizontal asymptote of $C(t)$ is $c = 0$ .

b) When t increases, both the numerator and denominator increases, but given that the grade of the polynomial of the denominator is greater than the grade of the polynomial of the numerator, then the concentration of the drug converges to zero when time diverges to the infinity. There is a monotonous decrease behavior.

c) From Calculus we understand that maximum concentration can be found by means of the First and Second Derivative Tests.

First Derivative Test

The first derivative of the function is:

$C'(t) = \frac{(3\cdot t^{2}+5)-t\cdot (6\cdot t)}{(3\cdot t^{2}+5)^{2}}$

$C'(t) = \frac{1}{3\cdot t^{2}+5}-\frac{6\cdot t^{2}}{(3\cdot t^{2}+5)^{2}}$

$C'(t) = \frac{1}{3\cdot t^{2}+5}\cdot \left(1-\frac{6\cdot t^{2}}{3\cdot t^{2}+5} \right)$

Now we equalize the expression to zero:

$\frac{1}{3\cdot t^{2}+5}\cdot \left(1-\frac{6\cdot t^{2}}{3\cdot t^{2}+5} \right) = 0$

$1-\frac{6\cdot t^{2}}{3\cdot t^{2}+5} = 0$

$\frac{3\cdot t^{2}+5-6\cdot t^{2}}{3\cdot t^{2}+5} = 0$

$5-3\cdot t^{2} = 0$

$t = \sqrt{\frac{5}{3} }\,h$

$t \approx 1.291\,h$

The critical point occurs approximately at 1.291 hours after injection.

Second Derivative Test

The second derivative of the function is:

$C''(t) = -\frac{6\cdot t}{(3\cdot t^{2}+5)^{2}}-\frac{(12\cdot t)\cdot (3\cdot t^{2}+5)^{2}-2\cdot (3\cdot t^{2}+5)\cdot (6\cdot t)\cdot (6\cdot t^{2})}{(3\cdot t^{2}+5)^{4}}$
