The drug concentration in the bloodstream t hours after injection is given approximately by C(t) = 4.35e^-t for 0 <= t <= 5, where C(t) is concentration in milligrams per milliliter (mg/mL). What is the rate of change of concentration after 4 hours? Round to the nearest hundredth mg/mL per hour. The concentration is increasing at a rate of 0.08 mg/mL per hour. The concentration is increasing at a rate of 0.06 mg/mL per hour. The concentration is decreasing at a rate of 0.06 mg/mL per hour. The concentration is decreasing at a rate of 0.08 mg/mL per hour.

The concentration of a certain drug in a patient's bloodstream $t$ hr after injection is given by $$C(t)=\frac{0.2 t}{t^{2}+1}$$ a. Find the rate at which the concentration of the drug is changing with respect to time. b. How fast is the concentration changing $\frac{1}{2}$ hr. 1 hr, and 2 hr after the injection?

[T] The concentration of antibiotic in the bloodstream $t$ hours after being injected is given by the function $C(t)=\frac{2 t^{2}+t}{t^{3}+50},$ where $C$ is measured in milligrams per liter of blood. a. Find the rate of change of $C(t)$ . b. Determine the rate of change for $t=8,12,24,$ and $36 .$ c. Briefly describe what seems to be occurring as the number of hours increases.
