An exponential model of the form is used to model the amount of a pain-relieving drug (D mg/ml) there is in a patient’s bloodstream, hours after the drug was administered by injection. and are constants.
The graph below shows values of plotted against with a line of best fit drawn.
(i) Use the graph and line of best fit to estimate at time .
(ii) Work out the gradient of the line of best fit.
Use your answers to part (a) to write down an equation for the line of best fit in the form , where and are constants.
Show that can be rearranged to give
Hence find estimates for the constants and .
Find the time when the amount of the pain-relieving drug in the patient’s bloodstream is 1.5 mg/ml.

The village of Crinkley Bottom lies on a straight road, as modelled by the line on the graph below. Rush hour traffic causes much air pollution in the village so to improve the air quality around Crinkley Bottom a bypass is to be built.
The path of the bypass is modelled by part of the equation .
The bypass is to be built with a roundabout south of the village at the origin and a northern roundabout which re-joins the road through Crinkley Bottom at the point .
On the diagram show how using the iterative formula with will lead to convergence at the southern roundabout
Use the alternative iterative method
with , to find the position of the roundabout at P to four significant figures.
Verify that your answer to part (b) is correct to four significant figures.
