Equation 7.3.1 Laplace Transform of Amount in the Body after Oral Administration
Note that the denominator has a power of 2 in s and no repeating terms. The numerator has a power of 0 in s. Therefore the fingerprint method can be applied.
Setting the denominator to zero:
(s + ka) * (s + kel) = 0
gives the two roots -ka and -kel.
The finger print method can then be applied as illustrated in the QuickTime® movie below.
