Enzyme kinetics The consumption of a substrate in a reaction involving an enzyme is often modeled using Michaelis-Menton kinetics, which involves the initial value problem \(\frac{d s}{d t}=-\frac{Q s}{K+s}\), \(s(0)=s_{0}\),where s(t) is the amount of substrate present at time \(t \geq 0\), and Q and K are positive constants. Solve the initial value problem with Q = 10, K =5, and \(s_{0}=50\). Notice that the solution can be expressed explicitly only with t as a function of s. Graph the solution and describe how s behaves as \(t \rightarrow \infty\). (See the Guided Projects for more on enzyme kinetics.)
