Question:

As we saw in the last section, the metabolic rate after a person eats a meal tends to go up and then, after some time has passed, returns to a resting metabolic rate. This phenomenon is known as the thermic effect of food and can be described for a particular individual as F(t)  = -10.28 + 175.9te-t/1.3, where F(t) is the thermic effect of food (in kJ/hr), and t is the number of hours that have elapsed since eating a meal. Find the time after the meal when the thermic effect of the food is maximized.
