Question

44. BIOMEDICAL: Drug Dosage If the original concentration of a drug in a patient's bloodstream is 5 (milligrams per milliliter), and if the absorption constant is 0.15, then $t$ hours later the concentration will be $5e^{-0.15t}$. When should the drug be readministered so that the concentration does not fall below the minimum effective concentration of 2.7?

If the original concentration of a drug in a patient's bloodstream is c (milligrams per liter), t hours later the concentration will be C(t) = ce^(-kt), where k is the absorption constant. If the original concentration of the asthma medication theophylline is c = 20 and the absorption constant is k = 0.23, when should the drug be readministered so that the concentration does not fall below the minimum effective concentration of 5?

When a certain drug is taken orally, the concentration of the drug in the patient's bloodstream after minutes is given by c(t) = 0.08t - 0.0004t^2, where 0 < t < 240 and the concentration is measured in mg/L. When is the maximum serum concentration reached? min What is the maximum concentration? mg/L

00:01 Hi there.
00:03 So for this problem, we are given that the concentration of this medication at any given time is equal to the initial concentration, lower case, c times the aspenential of minus the constant of proportionality times the time.
00:19 Now, we are given that the initial concentration, lower case, c is equal to 20, and the constant of proportionality k, also given, that is zero.
00:31 Now the question for this problem is when should the drug be readministerated so that the concentration does not fall below the minimum effective concentration of five.
00:49 So and with that we will need to obtain the time at which the concentration capital c is equal to five.
00:59 Then, substituting the values that we are given, we will have that this is 20 times the exponential of minus 0 .23, this times the time.
01:17 Now, we set this to the minimum concentration, which is 5.
01:22 Then we start solving for the time...
