Researchers measured the average blood alcohol concentration C(t) of eight men starting one hour after consumption of 30 mL of ethanol (corresponding to two alcoholic drinks). (Round your answers to two decimal places.) t (hours) 1.0 1.5 2.0 2.5 3.0 C(t) (mg/mL) 0.35 0.26 0.2 0.14 0.09 (a) Find the average change of C with respect to t over each time interval. (i) [1.0, 2.0] (ii) [1.5, 2.0] (iii) [2.0, 2.5] (iv) [2.0, 3.0]

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data below:

Time, t (hours)__1.0__1.5__2.0__2.5__3.0

C(t) (mg/mL)__0.35_0.26_0.20_0.14_0.09

Average change of C with respect to t over the interval :

(i) [1.0, 2.0] (ii) [1.5, 2.0] (iii) [2.0, 2.5] (iv) [2.0, 3.0]

Average change = ( change in C / change in t) = C2 - C1 / t2 - t1

1) [1.0, 2.0]

C at t = 1 = 0.35 ; C at t = 2 = 0.20

(0.20 - 0.35) / (2 - 1) = - 0.15 / 1 = - 0.15 mg/mL hr

11) [1.5, 2.0]

(0.20 - 0.26) / (2.0 - 1.5) = - 0.06 / 0.5 = - 0.12 mg/mL hr

111) [2.0, 2.5]

(0.14 - 0.20) / (2.5 - 2.0) = - 0.06 / 0.5 = - 0.12mg/mL hr

iv) [2.0, 3.0]

(0.09 - 0.20) / (3.0 - 2.0) = - 0.11 / 1.0 = - 0.11 mg/mL hr
