Given information
Given the interval of following question
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
A mathematical model of coughing is given as the function (velocity) of the airstream, and it is related to the radius of the trachea. Function is
To find an absolute maximum of the function on the interval , we use The Closed Method Interval. So we find derivative of the given function and see where it is equal to zero or where the function is undefined. Also, we find the values of at the endpoints of the interval. Hence, using the Product Rule for derivatives, we have:
Now we find where :
Now we find and compare the values of the function at and and at the endpoints of the interval:
The largest of the values is the absolute maximum value and it is at
which agrees with the with experimental evidence in the exercise.
