After an antibiotic tablet is taken, the concentration of the antibiotic in the bloodstream is modeled by the following function C(t) = 7(e −0.5t − e −0.6t ), where the time t is measured in hours and C is measured in µg/mL. What is the maximum concentration of the antibiotic during the first 4 hours and when does it happen? The complete argument should be provided for the full points.
