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.
