(DRUG DOSAGE PROBLEM) A drug company wantsto know how to calculate a suitable dose and time between doses tomaintain a safe but effective concentration of a drug in the blood.To be simple for the users of the drug, only a fixed dose atregular time intervals is considered possible. Suggest a way tomodel the problem, determine the main issues involved, and work outa solution. The answer should be a formula or algorithm forcomputing the dose and time interval.
It is up to you to make the problem formulationprecise, to determine what additional input data you might need, tomake necessary reasonable assumptions and simplifications, and todecide how to organize your work in suitable subtasks. Hint: Do notmix all difficulties at the same time. First think just on asuitable model rather than trying to solve the problem. Onlyconsider the most basic aspects first, and make appropriatesimplifications. The model can be extended later if this isneeded.
