Expert Solution
Step 1

The patient is injected with a drug at the same time every day.

Before each injection, the concentration of the drug has dropped to 20% of its original value.

The new dose raises the concentration by 0.25 mg/mL.

We have to find the concentration of the drug after four doses and the formula for Cn.
