Q 113 Marks Question3 Marks
Doctors have shown certain drugs leave a person's bloodstream at a rate that is proportional to the amount present. In an experiment a patient is injected with 450 mg of a substance. Seven hours later it is found that 50 mg of the substance remains. Assuming the proportional model is correct for the particular substance.
(a) Express the differential equation that models this scenario.
(b) Find the time constant, k.(log 9 = 2.197225).
