Question
Respiratory Cycle For a person at rest, the velocity (in liters per second) of air flow during a respiratory cycle (the time from the beginning of one breath to the beginning of the next) is given by where is the time (in seconds). (Inhalation occurs when and exhalation occurs when ) (a) Find the time for one full respiratory cycle. (b) Find the number of cycles per minute. (c) Sketch the graph of the velocity function. 7
Solution
The first step in solving 4.5 problem number 78 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Respiratory Cycle For a person at rest, the velocity (in liters per second) of air flow during a respiratory cycle (the time from the beginning of one breath to the beginning of the next) is given by where is the time (in seconds). (Inhalation occurs when and exhalation occurs when ) (a) Find the time for one full respiratory cycle. (b) Find the number of cycles per minute. (c) Sketch the graph of the velocity function. 7
From the textbook chapter Graphs of Sine and Cosine Functions you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
