Question:
The metabolic rate of a person who has just eastern a meal tends to go up and then, after some time has passed, returns to a resting metabolic rate. This phenomena is known as the thermic effect of food. Researchers have indicated that the thermic effect of food for one particular person is
F(t)=11.8+176.9te^(t/1.4)
,
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 F'(t).
- Find all the critical numbers
- Determine where this function is increasing and where it is decreasing. Interpret your answers.
