Answer :
The values of the quantities Q1, Q2, Q3,... and Qₙ are
25, 25+25(0.07), 25+25(0.07)+25(0.07)² and Qₙ = 25(1-(0.07)ⁿ/(1-0.07)
Given:
Suppose the drug atenolol is taken in 25 mg doses once a day to lower blood pressure.
At the end of a 24 hour period, approximately 7 % of the atenolol is still present.
we are asked to find the expressions for the quantities Q1, Q2, Q3, . . ., and Qn, representing the amounts of atenolol in the body right after taking the 1st, 2nd, 3rd doses respectively.
hence:
Q1 = 25
Q2 = 25+25(0.07)
Q3 = 25+25(0.07)+25(0.07)²
Qₙ = 25(1-(0.07)ⁿ)/(1-0.07)
(b) we are asked to find expressions for the quantities P2, P3, P4, . . ., and Pn representing the amount of atenolol in the body right before taking the 2nd, 3rd, 4th doses respectively.
P2 = 25(0.07)
P3 = 25(0.07)+25(0.07)²
P4 = 25(0.07) + 25(0.07)² + 25(0.07)³
Pₙ = 25(0.07) × [1-(0.07)ⁿ]/[1-0.07]
Hence we get the required expressions.
