A drug is administered orally. The amount of drug in the GI tract (XX) and in the bloodstream (YY) are modeled by the system of differential equations:\nfracdXdt=kaX,quadfracdYdt=kaXkeY\\frac{dX}{dt} = -k_a X, \\quad \\frac{dY}{dt} = k_a X - k_e Y\nwith X(0)=DX(0) = D, Y(0)=0Y(0) = 0, absorption rate ka=0.5k_a = 0.5 hr1^{-1}, and elimination rate ke=0.1k_e = 0.1 hr1^{-1}. At what time tmaxt_{max} is the amount of drug in the bloodstream maximized?
