Dialysis treatment removes urea and other waste products from a patient's blood by diverting some of the blood flow externally through a machine called a dialyzer. The rate at which urea is removed from the blood (in mg/min ) is often well described by the equation c(t)=VKc0e−Kt/V where K is the rate of flow of blood through the dialyzer (in mL/min),V is the volume of the patient's blood (in mL), and ∞ is the amount of urea in the blood (in mg ) at time t=0. Evaluate the integral ∫0∞c(t)dt and interpret it.
