Question:

Use the model developed in Problem 6 to prescribe an initial dosage and a maintenance dosage that keeps the concentration above the effective level of 500 ppm but below a safe level of 1000 ppm. Experiment with different values until you have results you think are satisfactory.

Data from problem 6

A certain drug is effective in treating a disease if the concentration remains above 100 mg/L. The initial concentration is 640 mg/L. It is known from laboratory experiments that the drug decays at the rate of 20% of the amount present each hour.
