A treatment protocol for a disease in children involves long-term infusion of an appropriate medication. The concentration of the medication in the blood over time is modeled by the function $C$ defined on the interval $[0; +\infty[$ by: $$C ( t ) = \frac { d } { a } \left( 1 - \mathrm { e } ^ { - \frac { a } { 80 } t } \right)$$ Part B: study of functions
Let $f$ be the function defined on $]0; +\infty[$ by: $$f ( x ) = \frac { 105 } { x } \left( 1 - \mathrm { e } ^ { - \frac { 3 } { 40 } x } \right)$$ Prove that, for every real $x$ in $]0; +\infty[$, $f ^ { \prime } ( x ) = \frac { 105 g ( x ) } { x ^ { 2 } }$, where $g$ is the function defined on $[0; +\infty[$ by: $$g ( x ) = \frac { 3 x } { 40 } \mathrm { e } ^ { - \frac { 3 } { 40 } x } + \mathrm { e } ^ { - \frac { 3 } { 40 } x } - 1$$
The variation table of the function $g$ is given:
$x$
0
$+\infty$
0
$g ( x )$
- 1
Deduce the monotonicity of the function $f$. The limits of the function $f$ are not required.
Show that the equation $f ( x ) = 5.9$ has a unique solution on the interval $[1; 80]$. Deduce that this equation has a unique solution on the interval $]0; +\infty[$. Give an approximate value of this solution to the nearest tenth.
