Question 1 (Multiple Choice Worth 5 points)
(01.08 MC)
When a patient with hypertension takes a particular type of blood pressure medication, the effects on the systolic
145-6t if 0≤t≤5
pressure, S(t), can be measured by the following piecewise defined function: S(t)
115 if 5 52+7t if 9≤t≤12
where t is the time, in hours, since taking the medication. Based on the graph of the piecewise function, if the patient
takes the blood pressure medication at 7 a.m., in which interval will their systolic pressure be lowest?
O1 p.m. to 3 p.m.
4 p.m. to 6 p.m.
07 a.m. to 9 a.m.
10 am to 12 p.m.
