Question 28

The concentration of a specific chemical dye in a test vat, CCC (measured in mg/L), is modeled by the function

C(t)=2t−11t+10,t>0 C(t) = 2t - 11\sqrt{t} + 10, \quad t > 0 C(t)=2t−11t​+10,t>0

where t t\,t is the time in hours since the dye was introduced.

a.

Determine the two values of t t\,t for which the concentration is exactly 5 mg/L.

[4]
b.

Find the value of t t\,t for which C′′(t)=1132\displaystyle C''(t) = \frac{11}{32}C′′(t)=3211​.
