Suppose x and y are the populations of two different species. Describe in words how each population
Question:
Suppose x and y are the populations of two different species. Describe in words how each population changes with time.
A kidney removes toxins from the blood. If a kidney does not function, the toxins can be removed by dialysis. This problem explores a model for Q1(t), the quantity of toxins in the body outside the blood, and Q2(t), the quantity of toxins in the blood, where t is the time after dialysis started.
(a) The quantity Q1 changes for three reasons. First, toxins are created outside the blood at a constant rate, say A. Second, toxins flow into the blood at a rate proportional to the quantity outside the blood. Third, toxins flow out of the blood at a rate proportional to the quantity in the blood. Write a differential equation for Q1.
(b) The quantity Q2 changes for three reasons. First, dialysis removes toxins from the blood at a rate proportional to the toxins in the blood. Second and third, the same flows into and out of the blood that change Q1 also change Q2. Write a differential equation for Q2.
