(choose chapter or problem)

A glucose solution is administered intravenously into the bloodstream at a constant rate . As the glucose is added, it is converted into other substances and removed from the bloodstream at a rate that is proportional to the concentration at that time. Thus a model for the concentration  of the glucose solution in the bloodstream is

where  is a positive constant.
(a) Suppose that the concentration at time
 is . Determine the concentration at any time  by solving the differential equation.
(b) Assuming that
, find  and interpret your answer.
