Growth of bacteria. Under a set of controlled laboratory conditions, the size of the population of a certain bacteria culture at time ¢ (in minutes) is described by the function P = 3¢? + 2¢ + 1. Find the rate of population growth at f = 10 min. 21, Drug dosage. The human body's reaction to a dose of medicine can be modeled by a function of the form F 1 3(KM? M) where Kis a positive constant and M is the amount of medicine absorbed in the blood. The derivative S a can be thought of as measure of the sensitivity of P » the body to the medicine. (a) Find the sensitivity S. (b) Find “2. = ©” and give aM ~ aN an interpretation of the second derivative. 23. Medicine. A tiny spherical balloon is inserted into a clogged artery and is inflated at the rate of 0.0027 mm/min, How fast is the radius of the balloon growing when the radius is R = 0.005 mm ?. [Note: A sphere of radius R has volume V = jr R°] 30. Blood flow. Physiologists have observed that the flow of blood from an artery into a small capillary is given by the formula F=kD’VA-C (cm/sec), where D is the diameter of the capillary, A is the pressure in the artery, C is the pressure in the capillary, and k is a positive constant. (a) By how much is the flow of blood F changing with respect to pressure C’ in the capillary if A and D are kept constant?. Does the flow increase or decrease with increasing C? . (b) What is the percentage rate of change of flow F with respect to A if C’ and D are kept constant. decay.

The half-life of radium is 1600 years. How long will it take for 450 gram sample of radium to be reduced to $ grams ? 41, Radiology. Radioactive iodine" has a half-life of 20.9 hours. If injected into the bloodstream, the iodine accumulates in the thyroid gland. (a) After 24 hours, a medical technician scans a patient’s thyroid gland to determine whether thyroid function is normal. If the thyroid has absorbed all of the iodine, what percentage of the original amount should be detected? (I) A patient returns to the medical clinic 25 hours after having received an injection of '*/, The medical technician scans the patient's thyroid gland and detects the presence of 41,3 % of the original iodine. How much of the original '**/ remains in the rest of the patient’s body’, 42, ‘Temperatura.

(d) How long does it take the sample to decay to a mass of 2 mg ? (e) Sketch the graph of the mass function, 155. Blood alcohol concentration. We discussed an experiment in which the average BAC of eight male subjects was measured after consumption of 15 mL of ethanol (corresponding to one alcoholic drink). The resulting data were modeled by the concentration function C(t) = 0,0225te-O" where ¢ is measured in minutes after consumption and C is measured in mg/raL. (a) How rapidly was the BAC increasing after 10 minutes ? (b) How rapidly was itdecreasing half an hour later ? 170. Investigation. In a murder investigation, the temperature of the corpse was 32,5” C. atl 1:30 pm and 30,3” C an hour later. Normal boyd temperature is 37,0° C and the temperature of the surroundings was 20,2” C.
