Suppose that a drug is assimilated into a patient's bloodstream at a rate modeled by the function A(t) = 2te-0.25t where A(t) is in milligrams per minute and it is the number of minutes since the drug was administered. (a) Create a definite integral that expresses the amount of the drug assimilated between 5 and 10 minutes after the drug is administered. State the units of the definite integral and briefly explain how you know these are the correct units. (b) Compute the definite integral from part (a). Before presenting your calculation, briefly summarize your approach and state any integration techniques or rules required. After you make the calculation, provide a sentence that summarizes the numerical result (in the context of the application). Suggestion: Start by making the calculation on scrap paper. After you understand the problem and how to find the solution, briefly summarize what you needed to do to solve this problem. You do not need to describe each step in detail. Instead aim to provide a short general description that would help guide someone in solving a similar problem. Then present your calculation. (c) Use technology or peer discussion to verify your result. Briefly report on this process. If you used technology, describe the source. If this process caused you to question your results or check your work, include this in your report.
