Let C(t) be the concentration of drug in the bloodstream. As the body eliminates the drug, C(t) decreases at a rate that is proportional to the amount of the drug that is present at the time. Thus, C'(t) = -kC(t), where k is a positive number called the elimination constant of the drug.
a) If C(0) = 70 mg/litre (the concentration at time t = 0), find C(t), the concentration at time t, by solving the differential equation. (5 marks)
