A drug response curve describes the level of medication in the bloodstream after a drug is administered. A surge function

S(t) = At^pe^−kt

(where t > 0) is often used to model the response curve, reflecting an initial surge in the drug level and then a more gradual decline. If, for a particular drug, A = 0.03, p = 4, k = 0.06, and t is measured in minutes, estimate the times t corresponding to the inflection points. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)

t =		min (smaller value)
t =		min (larger value)

A pharmacutical company is testing a new allergy medication. They will consider the drug to be effective if the percentage of patients in the treatment group whose symptoms get better is 15% more than the percentage of patients in the control group whose symptoms get better. For example, if 10% of patients in the control get better, and 30% of patients in the treatment group get better, they will consider the drug to be effective, since 30% - 10% =...
