\

The function is \"\", where \"\" is number

\

of hours after taking the dose.

\

(a)

\

Graph the function \"\":

\

\"\"

\

\

(b)

\

Domain of a polynomial function is all real numbers.

\

The relevant domain represents the interval of time beginning

\

when the dose was first taken and ending when the pain reliever

\

left the blood stream.Because time cannot be negative, \"\".

\

The amount of pain reliever in the blood stream is zero when

\

the dose is first taken at \"\" and is zero again at  \"\",

\

Therefore \"\".

\

Relevant domain of the function is \"\".

\

\

(c)

\

\"\"

\

Observe the graph of the function \"\":

\

The maximum value of the function is \"\".

\

Therefore, the maximum amount of pain reliever that entered the

\

blood stream is 346 milligrams.
