Question 1

Given the data in Table 1 and 2, calculate ka, F, kel, and V using graph paper and calculator. Assume a one compartment linear model.

Question 2.

Use a non-linear regresion program to fit both the IV and oral data from question 1 simultaneously.

Question 3.

Given the model in Figure 1 and the data in Table 3 determine which of the parameters of this model are identifiable. Use either the numerical / empical approach and/or the analytical / Laplace transform approach. [Some additional information: The parameter values that I used to generate the data below are ke = 0.1 hr-1, km1 = 0.05 hr-1, km2 = 0.1 hr-1, and V1 = 20 L.]
