Finger Print Method - Example 2

Equation 7.4.1 Laplace Transform of Amount in the Body during an IV Infusion

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 * (s + kel) = 0

gives the two roots 0 and -kel.

The finger print method can then be applied as illustrated in the QuickTime^® movie below.

The solution

Equation 7.4.2 Integrated Equation for Amount in the Body an IV Infusion
