Find the total reaction to the drug over the following time periods.
a. From t=1 to t=12.
b. From t=12 to t=24

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 8.13

b) 4.10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the rate of reaction R'(t) = 2/t+1 + 1/√t+1

In order to get the total reaction R(t) to the drugs at this times, we need to first integrate the given function to get R(t)

On integrating R'(t)

∫ (2/t+1 + 1/√t+1)dt

In integration, k∫f'(x)/f(x) dx = 1/k ln(fx)+C where k is any constant.

∫ (2/t+1 + 1/√t+1)dt

= ∫ (2/t+1)dt+ ∫ (1/√t+1)dt

= 2∫ 1/t+1 dt +∫1/+(t+1)^1/2 dt

= 2ln(t+1) + 2(t+1)^1/2 + C

= 2ln(t+1) + 2√(t+1) + C

a) For total reactions from t = 1 to t = 12

When t = 1

R(1) = 2ln2 + 2√2

≈ 4.21

When t = 12

R(12) = 2ln13 + 2√13

≈ 12.34

R(12) - R(1) ≈ 12.34-4.21

≈ 8.13

Total reactions to the drugs over the period from t = 1 to t= 12 is approx 8.13.

b) For total reactions from t = 12 to t = 24

When t = 12

R(12) = 2ln13 + 2√13

≈ 12.34

When t = 24

R(24) = 2ln25 + 2√25

≈ 16.44

R(12) - R(1) ≈ 16.44-12.34

≈ 4.10

Total reactions to the drugs over the period from t = 12 to t= 24 is approx 4.10
