Medicine Concentration The concentration $C$ of a medication in the bloodstream $t$ hours after being administered is modeled by the function $C(t)=-0.002 x^{4}+0.039 t^{3}-0.285 t^{2}+0.766 t+0.085$ (a) After how many hours will the concentration be highest? (b) A woman nursing a child must wait until the concentration is below 0.5 before she can feed him. After taking the medication, how long must she wait before feeding her child?
