After an antibiotic tablet is taken, the concentration of the antibiotic in the bloodstream is modeled by the following function: where the time t is measured in hours and C is measured in μg/mL. What is the maximum concentration of the antibiotic during the first 4 hours and when does it happen? The complete argument should be provided for the full points.

Dialysis A model that estimates the concentration of urea in the body for a particular dialysis patient, following a dialysis session is given by C(t,g)=0.6(0.96)(210t/1500)1+gt126t900[1(0.96)(210t/1500)1]. Where t represents the number of minutes of the dialysis session and g represents the rate at which the body generates urea in mg per minute. Source: Clinical Dialysis. a. Find C(180,8). b. Using the total differential, estimate the urea concentration if the dialysis session of part was cut short by 10 minutes and the urea generation rate was 9 mg per minute. Compare this with the actual concentration. Hint: First, replace the variable g with the number 8, this reducing the function to one variable. Then use your graphing calculator to calculate the partial derivatives Ct(180,8). A similar procedure can be done for Cg(180,8).) c. d.
