Medications in the Body In Chapter we modeled the concentration of ibuprofen in a patient's blood using recursion relations. If the patient takes an ibuprofen pill once every hours, we showed that the concentration of ibuprofen in her blood one hour after each pill is taken that is after hours, and so on is given by a recurrence equation:
where is the concentration in the patient's blood one hour after the th pill was taken we have to wait one hour so that there is time for the drug to be absorbed from the pill Find the equilibrium point of this recurrence equation and show that it is locally stable.
