Concept explainers
Dialysis treatment removes urea and other waste products from a patient’s blood by diverting some of the bloodflow externally through a machine called a dialyzer. The rate at which urea is removed from the blood (in mg/min) is often well described by the equation
where r is the rate of flow of blood through the dialyzer (in mL/min), V is the volume of the patient’s blood (in mL), and C0 is the amount of urea in the blood (in mg) at time t = 0. Evaluate the

- Explain the difference between the average rate of change of y as x changes a to b, and the instantaneous rate of change of y at x=aarrow_forwardFind the constant of proportionality. y is directly proportional to x. If x=30, then y=15.arrow_forwardUse the total differential to approximate each quantity. Then use a calculator to approximate the quantity, and give the absolute value of the differences in the two results to 4decimal places. (1.922+2.12)13arrow_forward
