For some positive constant C a patients temperature change T
For some positive constant C, a patient\'s temperature change, T, due to a dose, D, of a drug is given by T=(C/2-D/3)D^2
What dosage maximizes the temperature change?
D=
The sensitivity of the body to the drug is defined as dT/dD. What dosage maximizes sensitivity?
D=
What dosage maximizes the temperature change?
D=
The sensitivity of the body to the drug is defined as dT/dD. What dosage maximizes sensitivity?
D=
Solution
dT/dD=0 (C/2-D/3)2D-D^2/3=0 CD-D^2=0 D=0 OR D=C D=C IS THE ANSWER AS AT D=0 T=0 d^T/dD^2=0 C-2D=0 D=C/2
