Suppose you are a patient with a disease and you are in the hospital.You can be cured by the following regimen of drugs. There are two drugs which have to be given at the same time. In order for the drugs to work properly a booster shot must be given precisely when the quantity of Drug B remaining in the body is twice that remaining from Drug A. We know that the quantity of Drug A remaining in the body is given by 29-t where t represents minutes. The quantity of Drug B remaining in the body is given by 85-4t. In exactly how many minutes and seconds should the booster shot be given, after I've been administered the two drugs, to cure me of this disease?
