A diabetic patient receives insulin at constant rate from an implanted insulin pump. Insulin has first order elimination kinetics, so the amount of insulin in the blood wi obey the given differential equation, where a> 0 is the rate at which insulin is released into their blood by the pump and k, is the fraction of insulin removed from the blood in one unit of time. dM a=a-k, M (a) Assuming M(0) =0 (ie., there is no insulin present in the patient's blood at time t= 0), solve the differential equation to find M(t) as a function of t. (b) Find the limit of M(t) as t→o. (c) Assume that a (the rate of release from the pump) is 4 IU/hr and M(t) → 0.8 IU as t→o. Calculate k1, the rate of insulin elimination.
Percentage
A percentage is a number indicated as a fraction of 100. It is a dimensionless number often expressed using the symbol %.
Algebraic Expressions
In mathematics, an algebraic expression consists of constant(s), variable(s), and mathematical operators. It is made up of terms.
Numbers
Numbers are some measures used for counting. They can be compared one with another to know its position in the number line and determine which one is greater or lesser than the other.
Subtraction
Before we begin to understand the subtraction of algebraic expressions, we need to list out a few things that form the basis of algebra.
