Question
A persons blood pressure, p, in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) is given, for t in seconds, by p = 100+20sin(2.5t). (a) What are the maximum and minimum values of blood pressure? (b) What is the time between successive maxima? (c) Show your answers on a graph of blood pressure against time.
Solution
The first step in solving 4.3 problem number 45 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A persons blood pressure, p, in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) is given, for t in seconds, by p = 100+20sin(2.5t). (a) What are the maximum and minimum values of blood pressure? (b) What is the time between successive maxima? (c) Show your answers on a graph of blood pressure against time.
From the textbook chapter GLOBAL MAXIMA AND MINIMA you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
