2. COMPUTING AREAS (15 PTS) One measure of effectiveness of different cancer drugs is the impact on the metabolism of tumor cells If this can be reduced, then it may be possible to starve the tumor out, potentially eliminating it. You have been provided with the following observed data showing the metabolism of cells subjected to two different drugs, the current treatment and novel treatment (Fig 2). Similar to many biological processes, these both follow a Gompertz curve, but with different parameters. Metabolism as a Function of Intervention Current Test Drug M = ae-be-ct Where M is the normalized metabolic rate and a, b, and c are empirical parameters measured for drug 1 and 2 as shown respectively. Normalized Metabolic Rate (J/min) dt = 0.1 s (sampling rate) aj = 1 a2 = 1.25 = 2 b2 = 6 Ci = 1 C2 = 0.5 0 1 2 3 4 6 7 8 9 10 5 Time (min) Using this information, plot the two curves as shown and compute the area under each using whichever method you prefer. Report these two areas to the command window. Fig. 2. Metabolic rate over time for two anti-cancer drugs
