Answer:
a) 1.70 L
b) 16 breaths per minute
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The maximum value of v(t) occurs when the sine function is at its maximum value of 1. In that case, the volume is ...
1.27 +0.43×1 = 1.70 . . . liters
__
b) One full breath cycle takes a period of time that makes the argument of the sine function be 2π. The that time period is ...
1.71t = 2π
t = 2π/1.71 ≈ 3.6744 . . . seconds
Then the number of breaths per minute is ...
(60 seconds/minute)/(3.6744 seconds/breath) ≈ 16.33 breaths/minute
The person takes about 16 breaths per minute while sleeping.
