The concentration of a certain medication in a patient's bloodstream is given by C(t) = 2te^{-3t}, t ? 0, where C(t) is in milligrams per cubic centimeters and t is the number of hours after the medication has been administered. How fast is the concentration changing in one hour?

Drug concentration The concentration $C$ in milligrams per milliliter (mg/ml) of a certain drug in a person's bloodstream $t$ hrs after a pill is swallowed is modeled by $$C(t)=1+\frac{4 t}{1+t^{3}}-e^{-0.06 t}$$ Estimate the change in concentration when $t$ changes from 20 to 30 min.

The concentration $C(t)$ of a drug in a patient's bloodstream $t$ hours after administration is given by $$C(t)=\frac{4 t}{3+t^{2}}$$ where $C(t)$ is in milligrams per liter. During what time interval will the concentration be greater than 1 milligram per liter?
