Seema wants to optimize the effectiveness of a new medicine that has two main ingredients. She wants to find the amount of each ingredient that works the best. She makes a set of four medicines and tests them. What do these test results suggest? What further test could Seema perform to optimize the medicine? Explain the roles of variables in your suggested test.

what is biomedical engineering

• a field that focuses on creating technologies that help people when they are sick or hurt. Bioengineers use math and science skills to develop things such as artificial limbs, dentures, blood testing machines, physical therapy equipment, x-rays and more.

• people who practice medicine, first need to identify what is making a person sick. Then they decide on a treatment. They also predict when the patient will feel better.
