Derive the Integrated Equation for the Amount in Urine, X2

The Model

Model with X2 highlighted

Component of Interest - Drug in Body

Step 1. Write the differential equations

Differential equation for X1

Differential equation for X2

Step 2. Transform into the Laplace domain

Equation for X1 in the Laplace domain

---

Equation for X2 in the Laplace domain

Step 3. Rearrange and solve for L(X2)

Equation for Laplace of X1

and

Equation for Laplace of X2

substituting the first term (L(X1)) into the second equation gives

Equation for Laplace of X2

Step 4. Back transform to produce the integrated equation for X2

using Laplace tables for the back transform
