Question

For some positive constant C, a patient's temperature change, T, due to a dose, D, of a drug is given by T = (C/2 - D/3)D^2

What doseage maximizes the temperature change? ____

What doseage maximizese sensitivity? ___

The sensitivity of the body to the drug is defined as dT/dD

Answer 1

Dosage that maximizes temperature is D=C.

Dosage that maximizes sensitivity is D = C/2.
