When you cough, your windpipe contracts. The speed, v(r), with which you expel air through your windpipe, depends in the radius, r, of your windpipe. If a is normal (rest) radius of your windpipe, then for 0<r<a. The speed is given by: v(r)=k(a-r)r^2 where k is a positive constant. For an individual, assume a to be constant. a. Find all critical points of v(r). b. what value of r minimizes the speed? Explain briefly using the second derivative test. c. What value of r maximizes the speed, and what is this maximum speed? explain briefly using the first derivative test. d. Consider two individuals, Jay and Dee. Jay's value of a is larger than Dee's value of a. How would Jay's maximum windpipe velocity compare to that of Dee? Explain briefly.
