(Total of 6+2 marks) A solution containing a 50mg per L of drug is administered intravenously at a
continuous rate of 60mL per hour. Assume that there is no drug in the patient's body initially, and the
volume of blood in the body remains a constant 5L during this process. If the drug is metabolized at a
rate of 50% per hour.
(a)(6 marks) What is the amount of drug found in a patient's body after t hours? I got the DE u'=3-(ln2+0.012)u which i knpw is correct but i cannot solve it, also need to us initla condition u(0)=0.
(b) Bonus (2 marks) Write a code to plot the amount of drug in the body you found in part (a) with
respect to time on the interval 0,24. The code should be included as well as the plot. The curve
should be "Red" and the axis should be labelled properly.
