question:A passionate theater actor, Alex, is known for bringing energy and creativity to their shared living space. To prepare for an upcoming immersive performance, Alex decides to build a creative stage in their spacious living room, which is a rectangular space measuring 20 meters by 15 meters. Sub-problem 1:Alex wants to install a rotating circular stage at the center of the living room. The radius of the stage is designed to be such that the area of the stage is exactly 25% of the total area of the living room. Calculate the radius of the circular stage.Sub-problem 2:To enhance the creative experience, Alex plans to install a series of equally spaced spotlights around the perimeter of the circular stage. If the total number of spotlights is equal to the integer part of the circumference of the stage, determine the exact number of spotlights Alex needs to install.
answer: Sub-problem 1: Calculating the Radius of the Circular StageFirst, we need to find the total area of the living room.The living room is a rectangle with dimensions:[ text{Length} = 20 text{ meters} ][ text{Width} = 15 text{ meters} ]The area ( A_{text{living room}} ) of the living room is:[ A_{text{living room}} = text{Length} times text{Width} ][ A_{text{living room}} = 20 times 15 ][ A_{text{living room}} = 300 text{ square meters} ]Alex wants the area of the circular stage to be 25% of the living room's area:[ A_{text{stage}} = 0.25 times A_{text{living room}} ][ A_{text{stage}} = 0.25 times 300 ][ A_{text{stage}} = 75 text{ square meters} ]The area of a circle is given by:[ A_{text{stage}} = pi r^2 ]We need to find the radius ( r ) such that:[ pi r^2 = 75 ]Solving for ( r ):[ r^2 = frac{75}{pi} ][ r = sqrt{frac{75}{pi}} ]Using the value of ( pi approx 3.14159 ):[ r = sqrt{frac{75}{3.14159}} ][ r approx sqrt{23.87} ][ r approx 4.88 text{ meters} ] Sub-problem 2: Determining the Number of SpotlightsFirst, we need to calculate the circumference of the circular stage with radius ( r ).The circumference ( C ) of a circle is given by:[ C = 2 pi r ]Using the radius calculated:[ r approx 4.88 text{ meters} ]So:[ C approx 2 pi times 4.88 ][ C approx 2 times 3.14159 times 4.88 ][ C approx 30.65 text{ meters} ]The number of spotlights is the integer part of the circumference:[ text{Number of spotlights} = lfloor C rfloor ][ text{Number of spotlights} = lfloor 30.65 rfloor ][ text{Number of spotlights} = 30 ] Final Answer:The final answer is 30. I hope it is correct.
question:A design professional is working on a project to help a sketch artist transition from traditional mediums to digital art. The professional uses a tablet with stylus input to demonstrate how technology can enhance traditional art techniques. The tablet's screen is a perfect rectangle with dimensions 1920 pixels by 1080 pixels, and the stylus can register pressure variations from 0 to 1023 levels.Sub-problem 1:To create a smooth gradient effect, the design professional writes an algorithm that interpolates between two colors using a cubic Bézier curve. The control points of the Bézier curve are given by ( P_0 = (0, 0) ), ( P_1 = (480, y_1) ), ( P_2 = (1440, y_2) ), and ( P_3 = (1920, 1080) ). If the gradient effect starts from black at ( P_0 ) and ends at white at ( P_3 ), determine the coordinates ( (x, y) ) of the point on the curve when ( t = 0.5 ), where ( t ) is the parameter that varies from 0 to 1 along the curve.Sub-problem 2:The pressure sensitivity of the stylus is modeled by the function ( P(x, y) = A sinleft(frac{pi x}{1920}right) + B cosleft(frac{pi y}{1080}right) ), where ( A ) and ( B ) are constants. If the maximum pressure registered by the stylus is 1023 levels and occurs at the point ( (960, 540) ), determine the values of ( A ) and ( B ).
answer:Let's solve the given sub-problems step-by-step. Sub-problem 1:We need to find the coordinates ( (x, y) ) on the cubic Bézier curve when ( t = 0.5 ).The parametric equation of a cubic Bézier curve is given by:[ B(t) = (1-t)^3 P_0 + 3(1-t)^2 t P_1 + 3(1-t)t^2 P_2 + t^3 P_3 ]Given points are:[ P_0 = (0, 0), quad P_1 = (480, y_1), quad P_2 = (1440, y_2), quad P_3 = (1920, 1080) ]Plugging in ( t = 0.5 ):[ B(0.5) = (1-0.5)^3 P_0 + 3(1-0.5)^2 (0.5) P_1 + 3(1-0.5)(0.5)^2 P_2 + (0.5)^3 P_3 ][ B(0.5) = (0.5)^3 P_0 + 3(0.5)^2 (0.5) P_1 + 3(0.5)(0.5)^2 P_2 + (0.5)^3 P_3 ][ B(0.5) = 0.125 P_0 + 0.375 P_1 + 0.375 P_2 + 0.125 P_3 ]Now, substitute the points:[ x = 0.125 cdot 0 + 0.375 cdot 480 + 0.375 cdot 1440 + 0.125 cdot 1920 ][ x = 0 + 180 + 540 + 240 = 960 ][ y = 0.125 cdot 0 + 0.375 cdot y_1 + 0.375 cdot y_2 + 0.125 cdot 1080 ][ y = 0 + 0.375y_1 + 0.375y_2 + 135 ]Thus, the coordinates ((x, y)) when ( t = 0.5 ) are:[ (960, 0.375y_1 + 0.375y_2 + 135) ] Sub-problem 2:The pressure sensitivity function is given by:[ P(x, y) = A sinleft(frac{pi x}{1920}right) + B cosleft(frac{pi y}{1080}right) ]We know that the maximum pressure 1023 occurs at ( (960, 540) ). Therefore:[ P(960, 540) = 1023 ]Substitute ( x = 960 ) and ( y = 540 ):[ 1023 = A sinleft(frac{pi cdot 960}{1920}right) + B cosleft(frac{pi cdot 540}{1080}right) ]Since ( sinleft(frac{pi cdot 960}{1920}right) = sinleft(frac{pi}{2}right) = 1 ) and ( cosleft(frac{pi cdot 540}{1080}right) = cosleft(frac{pi}{2}right) = 0 ), we get:[ 1023 = A cdot 1 + B cdot 0 ][ A = 1023 ]Next, we need to find ( B ). Since ( P(x, y) ) must be bounded by 1023, the maximum value of the cosine function is 1:[ 1023 = 1023 + B cdot 1 ]This implies:[ B = 0 ] Final Answer:For sub-problem 1:The coordinates ((x, y)) of the point on the cubic Bézier curve when ( t = 0.5 ) are ( (960, 0.375y_1 + 0.375y_2 + 135) ).For sub-problem 2:The values of ( A ) and ( B ) are ( 1023 ) and ( 0 ), respectively.I hope it is correct.
question:A smartphone manufacturer is analyzing the performance of a new processor designed to enhance speed and efficiency in their Android devices. The processor's efficiency is modeled by the function ( E(x, y) = frac{xy}{x^2 + y^2 + 1} ), where ( x ) is the clock speed in GHz and ( y ) is the number of cores. The manufacturer wants to optimize the processor's performance under the following conditions:1. Given that the maximum allowable clock speed is 3.2 GHz and the number of cores must be an integer between 1 and 8, find the values of ( x ) and ( y ) that maximize the efficiency ( E(x, y) ).2. To enhance battery life, the power consumption ( P(x, y) ) of the processor is modeled by ( P(x, y) = 0.5x^2 + 0.3y + 0.1xy ). The manufacturer needs to ensure that the power consumption does not exceed 10 watts. Determine the range of values for ( x ) and ( y ) that satisfy this constraint while maintaining the optimal efficiency found in the first sub-problem.
answer:To solve this problem, we will tackle each sub-problem separately. Sub-problem 1: Maximizing EfficiencyThe efficiency is given by the function:[ E(x, y) = frac{xy}{x^2 + y^2 + 1} ]We need to maximize ( E(x, y) ) subject to ( 1 leq y leq 8 ) and ( 0 < x leq 3.2 ).Since ( y ) is an integer, we can evaluate ( E(x, y) ) for each ( y ) from 1 to 8, and find the maximum efficiency by optimizing ( x ) for each ( y ).# Step 1: Evaluate for each integer ( y )For each ( y ), find the derivative of ( E(x, y) ) with respect to ( x ):[ frac{partial E}{partial x} = frac{y(x^2 + y^2 + 1) - xy(2x)}{(x^2 + y^2 + 1)^2} = frac{y(x^2 + y^2 + 1) - 2x^2y}{(x^2 + y^2 + 1)^2} ]Setting (frac{partial E}{partial x} = 0), we have:[ y(x^2 + y^2 + 1) = 2x^2y ]Simplifying:[ x^2 + y^2 + 1 = 2x^2 ][ x^2 = y^2 + 1 ][ x = sqrt{y^2 + 1} ]# Step 2: Substitute and check feasibilityFor each ( y ), substitute ( x = sqrt{y^2 + 1} ), ensuring ( x leq 3.2 ):1. ( y = 1 ), ( x = sqrt{1^2 + 1} = sqrt{2} approx 1.41 )2. ( y = 2 ), ( x = sqrt{2^2 + 1} = sqrt{5} approx 2.24 )3. ( y = 3 ), ( x = sqrt{3^2 + 1} = sqrt{10} approx 3.16 )4. ( y = 4 ), ( x = sqrt{4^2 + 1} = sqrt{17} approx 4.12 ) (exceeds 3.2)5. For ( y geq 4 ), ( x > 3.2 ), not feasible.# Step 3: Calculate ( E(x, y) )- For ( y = 3 ) and ( x = 3.16 ):[ E(3.16, 3) = frac{3.16 times 3}{3.16^2 + 3^2 + 1} approx frac{9.48}{19.9856} approx 0.4746 ]Checking ( y = 4 ) with ( x = 3.2 ) (since ( x = sqrt{17} ) exceeds 3.2):[ E(3.2, 4) = frac{3.2 times 4}{3.2^2 + 4^2 + 1} = frac{12.8}{27.24} approx 0.470 ]Thus, the maximum efficiency occurs at ( x approx 3.16 ) and ( y = 3 ). Sub-problem 2: Power Consumption ConstraintThe power consumption is given by:[ P(x, y) = 0.5x^2 + 0.3y + 0.1xy ]We need ( P(x, y) leq 10 ).For the optimized ( x approx 3.16 ) and ( y = 3 ):[ P(3.16, 3) = 0.5(3.16)^2 + 0.3(3) + 0.1(3.16)(3) ][ = 0.5(9.9856) + 0.9 + 0.948 ][ = 4.9928 + 0.9 + 0.948 = 6.8408 ]Since ( 6.8408 leq 10 ), this configuration satisfies the power constraint.Final Answer: The final answer is ( x approx 3.16 ) GHz and ( y = 3 ) cores, and it satisfies the power constraint. I hope it is correct.
question:A video game enthusiast, Alex, grew up playing a lot of pirated games on his old NES console. To celebrate his nostalgia, Alex decided to create a mathematical model for the number of pirated games he played over the years.1. Let ( P(t) ) represent the number of pirated games Alex played in year ( t ), where ( t ) is measured in years since he first got his NES console. Assume ( P(t) ) can be modeled by the differential equation ( frac{dP}{dt} = kP(1 - frac{P}{N}) ), where ( k ) is a constant growth rate and ( N ) is the carrying capacity, representing the maximum number of pirated games available. a. Given that the initial number of pirated games Alex played was 10 when ( t = 0 ), solve the differential equation for ( P(t) ).2. Suppose Alex's love for these games led him to develop a probability distribution ( f(x) ) representing the likelihood of him playing a particular game ( x ) times in a month. Assume ( f(x) ) follows a Poisson distribution with parameter ( lambda ). b. If Alex played a specific game 3 times in a month, find the probability that he will play this game exactly 5 times in the next month, given that ( lambda = 4 ).
answer:Let's solve the given math problem step-by-step. 1. Solving the Differential Equation for ( P(t) )The differential equation given is:[ frac{dP}{dt} = kPleft(1 - frac{P}{N}right) ]This is a logistic differential equation. To solve it, we use the method of separation of variables.First, we rewrite the equation:[ frac{dP}{dt} = kP left(1 - frac{P}{N}right) ]Separate the variables (P) and (t):[ frac{1}{P left(1 - frac{P}{N}right)} dP = k , dt ]Rewrite the left-hand side using partial fractions:[ frac{1}{P left(1 - frac{P}{N}right)} = frac{1}{P} + frac{1/N}{1 - P/N} ]Thus:[ frac{1}{P} + frac{1/N}{1 - P/N} , dP = k , dt ]Integrate both sides:[ int left( frac{1}{P} + frac{1/N}{1 - P/N} right) dP = int k , dt ][ int frac{1}{P} , dP + int frac{1/N}{1 - P/N} , dP = int k , dt ]Integrate each term separately:[ ln|P| - ln|1 - frac{P}{N}| = kt + C ]Combine the logarithms on the left side:[ lnleft|frac{P}{1 - frac{P}{N}}right| = kt + C ]Exponentiate both sides:[ frac{P}{1 - frac{P}{N}} = e^{kt + C} ]Let ( e^C = A ):[ frac{P}{1 - frac{P}{N}} = A e^{kt} ]Solve for ( P ):[ P = A e^{kt} left(1 - frac{P}{N}right) ][ P = A e^{kt} - frac{A e^{kt} P}{N} ][ P left(1 + frac{A e^{kt}}{N}right) = A e^{kt} ][ P = frac{A e^{kt}}{1 + frac{A e^{kt}}{N}} ][ P = frac{A N e^{kt}}{N + A e^{kt}} ]Using the initial condition ( P(0) = 10 ):[ 10 = frac{A N}{N + A} ]Solving for ( A ):[ 10(N + A) = AN ][ 10N + 10A = AN ][ 10A = AN - 10N ][ A (N - 10) = 10N ][ A = frac{10N}{N - 10} ]Thus:[ P(t) = frac{frac{10N}{N - 10} N e^{kt}}{N + frac{10N}{N - 10} e^{kt}} ][ P(t) = frac{10N^2 e^{kt}}{(N - 10)N + 10N e^{kt}} ][ P(t) = frac{10N e^{kt}}{N - 10 + 10 e^{kt}} ] 2. Finding the Probability using Poisson DistributionThe Poisson probability mass function is:[ P(X = x) = frac{e^{-lambda} lambda^x}{x!} ]Given ( lambda = 4 ) and we need the probability of playing the game exactly 5 times:[ P(X = 5) = frac{e^{-4} 4^5}{5!} ]Calculate:[ P(X = 5) = frac{e^{-4} 1024}{120} ][ P(X = 5) = e^{-4} frac{1024}{120} ][ P(X = 5) = e^{-4} times 8.5333 ]Using ( e^{-4} approx 0.0183 ):[ P(X = 5) approx 0.0183 times 8.5333 ][ P(X = 5) approx 0.156 ]Final Answer: The final answer is ( P(t) = frac{10N e^{kt}}{N - 10 + 10 e^{kt}} ) and ( P(X = 5) approx 0.156 ). I hope it is correct.
question:A young aspiring dancer, Emily, has just started taking ballet classes. She practices a routine that involves spinning in place and moving across the studio floor. During her practice, Emily performs a combination of spins and leaps. The spins are executed in place, while the leaps cover a linear distance.1. Emily spins at a constant rate of ( theta(t) = 3t^2 + 2t ) radians, where ( t ) is the time in seconds since she started spinning. Determine the total angle in radians through which Emily has spun after 5 seconds.2. After completing her spins, Emily immediately begins a sequence of leaps. Each leap covers a distance that follows an arithmetic sequence. If the first leap covers 1.5 meters and the fifth leap covers 3 meters, find the total distance Emily covers in her first 10 leaps.
answer:To solve this problem, we'll address each part separately.Part 1: Determining the total angle through which Emily has spun after 5 secondsEmily's spin rate is given by the function (theta(t) = 3t^2 + 2t) radians. To find the total angle through which she has spun in 5 seconds, we need to integrate this rate function from (t = 0) to (t = 5).The integral of (3t^2 + 2t) with respect to (t) is:[int (3t^2 + 2t) , dt = int 3t^2 , dt + int 2t , dt][= left[ t^3 right] + left[ t^2 right] = t^3 + t^2 + C]where (C) is the constant of integration. Since we're calculating a definite integral from (t = 0) to (t = 5), we can ignore the constant (C).Evaluate the integral from 0 to 5:[int_0^5 (3t^2 + 2t) , dt = left[ t^3 + t^2 right]_0^5 = (5^3 + 5^2) - (0^3 + 0^2)][= (125 + 25) - (0 + 0) = 150]Thus, the total angle through which Emily has spun after 5 seconds is 150 radians.Part 2: Finding the total distance Emily covers in her first 10 leapsThe distance of each leap follows an arithmetic sequence. We are given that the first leap covers 1.5 meters and the fifth leap covers 3 meters.The general form of an arithmetic sequence is given by:[ a_n = a_1 + (n-1)d ]where ( a_n ) is the (n)-th term, ( a_1 ) is the first term, and ( d ) is the common difference.From the problem:- ( a_1 = 1.5 )- ( a_5 = 3 )We can find the common difference (d) using the information for the fifth term:[a_5 = a_1 + 4d = 3 ][1.5 + 4d = 3 ][4d = 1.5 ][d = frac{1.5}{4} = 0.375]Now, we find the total distance covered in the first 10 leaps. The sum of the first (n) terms of an arithmetic sequence is given by:[ S_n = frac{n}{2} times (a_1 + a_n) ]First, find the 10th term ((a_{10})):[a_{10} = a_1 + 9d = 1.5 + 9(0.375) = 1.5 + 3.375 = 4.875]Now, calculate the sum of the first 10 terms:[S_{10} = frac{10}{2} times (1.5 + 4.875) = 5 times 6.375 = 31.875]Thus, the total distance Emily covers in her first 10 leaps is 31.875 meters.Final Answer: The final answer is 150 radians and 31.875 meters. I hope it is correct.
question:As a charismatic student politician, you are tasked with organizing a student welfare budget that adheres to a more traditional approach, focusing on two main areas: scholarships and student mental health services. Historically, your institution has allocated funds based on a principle derived from a quadratic distribution model, where the total budget, ( B ), is distributed such that 60% goes to scholarships and 40% to mental health services. 1. Given that the traditional distribution model follows the quadratic function ( f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c ), where ( x ) represents the number of students benefiting from these services, and the function must satisfy the conditions ( f(0) = 0 ), ( f(1) = frac{3}{5} ), and the total budget ( B = int_0^1 f(x) , dx ), find the coefficients ( a ), ( b ), and ( c ) of the quadratic function.2. If the institution plans to increase the total budget by 25% next year while maintaining the same quadratic distribution model, calculate the new number of students ( N ) that can benefit from scholarships, assuming that the cost per student remains constant and that this increase will solely affect the scholarship fund.
answer:To solve the problem, we will address both parts step by step.Part 1: Finding the coefficients ( a ), ( b ), and ( c ) of the quadratic functionWe are given the quadratic function ( f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c ), and the conditions:1. ( f(0) = 0 )2. ( f(1) = frac{3}{5} )3. The total budget ( B = int_0^1 f(x) , dx ).Using the condition ( f(0) = 0 ), we find that:[f(0) = a(0)^2 + b(0) + c = 0 implies c = 0]Thus, the function simplifies to ( f(x) = ax^2 + bx ).Next, using the condition ( f(1) = frac{3}{5} ):[f(1) = a(1)^2 + b(1) = a + b = frac{3}{5}]Now, we calculate the total budget ( B ) as the integral of ( f(x) ) from 0 to 1:[B = int_0^1 (ax^2 + bx) , dx = left[ frac{a}{3}x^3 + frac{b}{2}x^2 right]_0^1 = frac{a}{3} + frac{b}{2}]Since ( B = 1 ), we have:[frac{a}{3} + frac{b}{2} = 1]We now have two equations:1. ( a + b = frac{3}{5} )2. ( frac{a}{3} + frac{b}{2} = 1 )Multiply the second equation by 6 to eliminate fractions:[2a + 3b = 6]Now solve the system of equations:1. ( a + b = frac{3}{5} )2. ( 2a + 3b = 6 )Multiply the first equation by 2:[2a + 2b = frac{6}{5}]Subtract this from the second equation:[(2a + 3b) - (2a + 2b) = 6 - frac{6}{5}][b = 6 - frac{6}{5} = frac{30}{5} - frac{6}{5} = frac{24}{5}]Substitute ( b = frac{24}{5} ) back into ( a + b = frac{3}{5} ):[a + frac{24}{5} = frac{3}{5}][a = frac{3}{5} - frac{24}{5} = -frac{21}{5}]Thus, the coefficients are ( a = -frac{21}{5} ), ( b = frac{24}{5} ), and ( c = 0 ).Part 2: Calculating the new number of students ( N ) for scholarshipsThe current total budget ( B = 1 ), and 60% goes to scholarships. Thus, the scholarship budget ( S = 0.6 times B = 0.6 ).Next year, the budget increases by 25%, so the new total budget ( B' = 1.25 times B = 1.25 ).The new scholarship budget ( S' = 0.6 times B' = 0.6 times 1.25 = 0.75 ).The scholarship budget increased from ( S = 0.6 ) to ( S' = 0.75 ).The increase in the number of students benefiting from scholarships is proportional to the budget increase. Thus, we calculate the new number of students ( N ):The current number of students benefiting from scholarships is ( N_0 ), such that 60% of ( N_0 ) corresponds to the current scholarship budget 0.6.With the increased budget, ( 0.75 ) corresponds to ( N ), where ( N = frac{0.75}{0.6} times N_0 ).Therefore, ( N = frac{0.75}{0.6} times N_0 = 1.25 times N_0 ).Thus, the new number of students benefiting from scholarships is 25% more than the current number.Final Answer: The final answer is that the new number of students ( N ) is 25% more than the current number of students ( N_0 ). I hope it is correct.
