Answer:
the maximum concentration of the antibiotic during the first 12 hours is 1.185 
at t= 2 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following information:
After an antibiotic tablet is taken, the concentration of the antibiotic in the bloodstream is modeled by the function where the time t is measured in hours and C is measured in
Thus, we are given the time interval [0,12] for t.
- We can apply the first derivative test, to know the absolute maximum value because we have a closed interval for t.
- The first derivative test focusing on a particular point. If the function switches or changes from increasing to decreasing at the point, then the function will achieve a highest value at that point.
First, we differentiate C(t) with respect to t, to get,
Equating the first derivative to zero, we get,
Solving, we get,
At t = 0
At t = 2
At t = 12
Thus, the maximum concentration of the antibiotic during the first 12 hours is 1.185 at t= 2 hours.
The 7 miles and 24 miles make up two "legs" of a right triangle.
The third side (or hypotenuse) is the distance between the towns.
distance^2 = 7^2 + 24^2
distance^2 = 49 + 576
distance^2 = 625
distance = square root of 625 or 25
Answer:
The probably genotype of individual #4 if 'Aa' and individual #6 is 'aa'.
Step-by-step explanation:
In a non sex-linked, dominant trait where both parents carry and show the trait and produce children that both have and don't have the trait, they would each have a genotype of 'Aa' which would produce a likelihood of 75% of children that carry the dominant traint and 25% that don't. Since the child of #1 and #2, #5, does not exhibit the trait, nor does the significant other (#6), then they both must have the 'aa' genotype. However, since #4 displays the dominant trait received from the parents, it is more likely they would have the 'Aa' genotype as by the punnet square of 'Aa' x 'Aa', 50% of their children would have the 'Aa' phenotype.
Answer:
{1, (-1±√17)/2}
Step-by-step explanation:
There are formulas for the real and/or complex roots of a cubic, but they are so complicated that they are rarely used. Instead, various other strategies are employed. My favorite is the simplest--let a graphing calculator show you the zeros.
___
Descartes observed that the sign changes in the coefficients can tell you the number of real roots. This expression has two sign changes (+-+), so has 0 or 2 positive real roots. If the odd-degree terms have their signs changed, there is only one sign change (-++), so one negative real root.
It can also be informative to add the coefficients in both cases--as is, and with the odd-degree term signs changed. Here, the sum is zero in the first case, so we know immediately that x=1 is a zero of the expression. That is sufficient to help us reduce the problem to finding the zeros of the remaining quadratic factor.
__
Using synthetic division (or polynomial long division) to factor out x-1 (after removing the common factor of 4), we find the remaining quadratic factor to be x²+x-4.
The zeros of this quadratic factor can be found using the quadratic formula:
a=1, b=1, c=-4
x = (-b±√(b²-4ac))/(2a) = (-1±√1+16)/2
x = (-1 ±√17)2
The zeros are 1 and (-1±√17)/2.
_____
The graph shows the zeros of the expression. It also shows the quadratic after dividing out the factor (x-1). The vertex of that quadratic can be used to find the remaining solutions exactly: -0.5 ± √4.25.
__
The given expression factors as ...
4(x -1)(x² +x -4)
