A chemical engineer monitors the concentration, C C\,C mmol/L, of a reagent in a reaction vessel, which is modeled by the function
C(t)=4t+82t+1,t>−0.5 C(t) = \frac{4t + 8}{\sqrt{2t + 1}}, \quad t > -0.5 C(t)=2t+14t+8,t>−0.5where t t\,t is the time in minutes from the start of the reaction.
Find C′(t)C'(t)C′(t), giving your answer in simplest form.
Hence, determine the range of values for the concentration CCC.
