2021 AP Calculus AB Free Response #6 (First Administration)
TLDRThe video script discusses the application of differential equations to model the administration of medication to patients. Initially, the presenter attempts to solve a differential equation representing the amount of medication in a patient's body over time, starting with zero milligrams and eventually approaching a total of 12 milligrams. The solution involves separation of variables and integration, leading to a general solution that is then adjusted to fit the initial condition. The presenter also addresses a mistake made in the integration process and corrects it, resulting in a solution with a negative exponent. Subsequently, the script explores a second scenario involving a different patient and a distinct differential equation. The presenter calculates the rate of change in the medication's amount and determines its behavior at a specific time, concluding that it is decreasing. The video encourages viewers to ask questions or provide comments if they have any doubts or corrections.
Takeaways
- 🔢 The amount of medication in a patient's body at time \( t \) hours is modeled by a differential equation where \( y(t) = a \cdot t \), where \( y \) is the amount of medication in milligrams and \( a \) is a constant rate.
- 📈 Initially, there are zero milligrams of medication in the patient, and the amount increases over time, eventually approaching a total of 12 milligrams after the injection is completed.
- 🧮 To find the particular solution, separation of variables and integration is used, considering the initial condition where \( y = 0 \) when \( t = 0 \).
- 🟢 The general solution to the differential equation is \( y = 12 - ce^{\frac{1}{3}t} \), where \( c \) is a constant determined by the initial condition.
- ✅ By applying the initial condition, it is found that \( c = 12 \), leading to the particular solution \( y = 12 - 12e^{\frac{1}{3}t} \).
- 🤔 The speaker initially confuses the sign of the exponent but later corrects it, realizing that the solution should have a negative exponent, resulting in \( y = 12 - e^{-\frac{1}{3}t + C} \).
- 📉 The rate of change of medication in the patient's body is given by \( \frac{dy}{dt} = 3 - \frac{y}{t} + 2 \), and its sign indicates whether the medication level is increasing or decreasing.
- 🤓 To determine if the medication level is increasing or decreasing, the second derivative of \( \frac{dy}{dt} \) is calculated, which involves using the quotient rule for differentiation.
- 📌 At \( t = 1 \) hour, there are 2.5 milligrams of medication in the second patient, and the rate of change of medication is decreasing, as indicated by a negative second derivative.
- 📚 The process involves understanding differential equations, integration, and the application of initial conditions to find specific solutions that describe the behavior of the medication in the patient's body over time.
- ❓ The speaker encourages questions or comments, inviting interaction and clarification if there are doubts or errors in the explanation.
Q & A
What is the differential equation described in the transcript?
-The differential equation described is d(y(t))/dt = a(t) * (12 - y(t)), where y(t) represents the amount of medication in milligrams at time t, and a(t) is the rate at which the medication is administered.
What is the initial condition for the differential equation?
-The initial condition is that at time t=0, y(0) = 0 milligrams, meaning there is no medication in the patient's body initially.
How is the general solution to the differential equation derived?
-The general solution is derived using separation of variables and integrating both sides of the equation. The process involves moving dt to one side and the function involving y to the other, integrating, and then solving for y.
What is the particular solution for the given initial condition?
-The particular solution, which applies to the initial condition y(0) = 0, is found by substituting t=0 into the general solution, which gives c=12. Thus, the particular solution is y(t) = 12 - 12 * e^(t/3).
Why is there confusion about the sign of the exponent in the solution?
-The confusion arises because during the integration process, the negative sign from the differential equation was initially overlooked, leading to a positive exponent. After correcting the integration, the exponent becomes negative.
What does the negative exponent in the solution signify?
-The negative exponent in the solution indicates that as time t increases, the amount of medication y(t) in the patient's body approaches 12 milligrams but never exceeds it, following an exponential decay pattern from the initial condition of 0 milligrams.
How is the rate of change of the medication in the second patient's body determined?
-The rate of change is determined by taking the derivative of the function modeling the amount of medication in the second patient's body with respect to time t, which gives d(y)/dt = 3 - y/t + 2.
What is the initial amount of medication in the second patient's body?
-At time t=1 hour, there are 2.5 milligrams of medication in the second patient's body.
How can you tell if the rate of change is increasing or decreasing at t=1 for the second patient?
-To determine if the rate of change is increasing or decreasing, you take the second derivative of the rate of change function and evaluate it at t=1. If the second derivative is positive, the rate of change is increasing; if negative, it is decreasing.
Is the rate of change of medication in the second patient's body increasing or decreasing at t=1?
-The rate of change is decreasing at t=1, as indicated by the negative value of the second derivative evaluated at that time.
What does the negative rate of change imply for the second patient?
-A negative rate of change implies that the amount of medication in the second patient's body is decreasing at that particular time, which could mean the medication is being metabolized or eliminated from the body faster than it is being administered.
What is the significance of the shape of the graph described in the transcript?
-The shape of the graph, which starts steep and becomes more shallow, represents the rate at which the medication accumulates in the patient's body over time. It indicates that the rate of increase in medication is highest initially and then slows down as the body reaches a saturation point.
Outlines
🤔 Medication Administration and Differential Equations
The first paragraph discusses a mathematical problem related to the administration of medication to a patient. It involves a differential equation that describes the amount of medication in the patient's body over time. The speaker attempts to solve the equation using separation of variables and initial conditions, leading to a general solution. There's a moment of confusion regarding the sign of the exponent in the solution, which is later corrected. The process includes integrating both sides of the equation and applying natural logarithms to isolate the variable of interest. The final solution is presented, showing how the amount of medication in the patient's body approaches 12 milligrams over time.
📉 Analyzing the Rate of Medication Change in a Second Patient
The second paragraph focuses on a different patient and a function that models the amount of medication given to this patient over time. The speaker is interested in determining whether the rate of change in the medication amount is increasing or decreasing at a specific time point, t=1 hour. To do this, the derivative of the given function is taken and analyzed. Using the quotient rule for differentiation, the second derivative is calculated, and its sign is evaluated to determine the trend. It is found that at t=1, the rate of change is decreasing, as indicated by a negative second derivative. The speaker concludes by stating that the medication amount is decreasing at that time point and invites any questions or comments in the video's description.
