The function of time A(t) = 0.008t 3 - (0.175 + 0.00125*25)t 2 + 0.96t approximates the concentration of some drug (in tenth of percent)

The function of time A(t) = 0.008t3 - (0.175 + 0.00125*25)t2 + 0.96t approximates the concentration of some drug (in tenth of percent) in an average person's bloodstream t hours (0 t 8 h) after taking two pills. Find the time t at which the concentration of the drug is a maximum. Use quadratic formula t1,2 = [-b (b2 - 4ac)1/2]/(2a)

_______ ________

-b + b2 - 4ac -b - b2 - 4ac

(2a) t1 = --------------------- t2 = --------------------- (2b)

2a 2a

for finding the roots of quadratic equation A'(t) = at2 + bt + c = 0 that you obtain. Consider only a solution that fits in the given time interval. Present the time t with six digitsafter the decimal dot.) What is the maximum value of the concentration? ATTN: don't try to apply the quadratic formula for solving the third-degree equationA(t) = 0! It is anirrelevant wrong equation; alsoquadratic formula can't be applied for solving a third-degree equation!
