❓:A researcher is studying an ancient Danish artifact, a cylindrical stone column, which is believed to be inscribed with a sequence of numbers that follows a specific mathematical pattern. The column has a height of 2 meters and a diameter of 0.5 meters. The inscribed sequence forms a spiral starting from the base and winding up to the top, with each complete turn rising by 0.1 meters.1. Determine the total length of the spiral inscribed on the column. Assume the spiral is tightly wound and maintains a consistent rise per turn.2. The inscribed numbers on the spiral are believed to follow a Fibonacci-like sequence, where each number is the sum of the previous two numbers, but with an initial offset: the first two numbers are 3 and 7. If the sequence is inscribed along the entire length of the spiral, how many numbers are inscribed on the column?
🧠:<think>Okay, so I have this problem about an ancient Danish artifact, which is a cylindrical stone column. It's inscribed with a sequence of numbers that follow a specific mathematical pattern. The column is 2 meters tall with a diameter of 0.5 meters. The spiral starts from the base and winds up to the top, with each complete turn rising by 0.1 meters. The first part asks me to determine the total length of the spiral inscribed on the column. Hmm, okay, so it's a helical spiral around a cylinder. I remember that the length of a helix can be found using some formula, maybe similar to the Pythagorean theorem? Let me think. If I were to "unwrap" the helix into a straight line, it would form the hypotenuse of a right triangle. One side of the triangle would be the total height of the cylinder, and the other side would be the total horizontal distance traveled by the spiral.So, the total height is given as 2 meters. Each turn of the spiral rises by 0.1 meters, so I need to figure out how many turns there are in total. If each turn is 0.1 meters, then the number of turns would be the total height divided by the rise per turn. That would be 2 meters divided by 0.1 meters per turn, which is 20 turns. So, there are 20 complete turns in the spiral.Now, for each turn, the horizontal distance traveled is the circumference of the cylinder. The diameter is 0.5 meters, so the radius is half of that, which is 0.25 meters. The circumference is 2πr, so that's 2 * π * 0.25, which is 0.5π meters per turn. Since there are 20 turns, the total horizontal distance is 20 * 0.5π, which is 10π meters.So, now I have a right triangle where one leg is the total height (2 meters) and the other leg is the total horizontal distance (10π meters). The length of the spiral would be the hypotenuse of this triangle. Using the Pythagorean theorem, the length L is sqrt((2)^2 + (10π)^2). Let me compute that.First, 2 squared is 4. Then, 10π squared is 100π². So, L = sqrt(4 + 100π²). Let me calculate that numerically. π is approximately 3.1416, so π squared is about 9.8696. Then, 100π² is 986.96. Adding 4 gives 990.96. The square root of 990.96 is approximately 31.48 meters. So, the total length of the spiral is roughly 31.48 meters.Wait, let me double-check my steps. The number of turns: 2 meters divided by 0.1 meters per turn is indeed 20 turns. The circumference: diameter 0.5 meters, so circumference is π * diameter, which is 0.5π, that's correct. So, 20 turns would give 20 * 0.5π = 10π meters. Then, the Pythagorean theorem: sqrt((2)^2 + (10π)^2). Yes, that seems right.Alternatively, I remember that the formula for the length of a helix is given by sqrt((height)^2 + (circumference * number of turns)^2). Which is exactly what I did. So, I think that's correct. So, the total length is approximately 31.48 meters.Moving on to the second part. The inscribed numbers follow a Fibonacci-like sequence, starting with 3 and 7. Each subsequent number is the sum of the previous two. The question is, how many numbers are inscribed on the column? So, the entire length of the spiral is 31.48 meters, and each number is inscribed along the spiral. I need to figure out how many numbers fit into that length.Wait, but the problem doesn't specify how much space each number takes. Hmm. Maybe I need to assume that each number is inscribed at each turn? Or perhaps each number is inscribed at each segment of the spiral? Hmm, the problem says the sequence is inscribed along the entire length of the spiral. So, perhaps each number is inscribed at each point along the spiral, but without knowing the spacing, it's hard to tell.Wait, maybe the numbers are inscribed at each complete turn? Since the spiral makes 20 turns, maybe each number is inscribed at each turn? But the sequence is Fibonacci-like, which is an infinite sequence, but the column is finite. Hmm, perhaps each number is inscribed at each turn, so the number of numbers would correspond to the number of turns? But 20 turns, starting from the first number at the base, so maybe 20 numbers? But the initial two numbers are given, so perhaps the sequence starts at the base with the first number, then the second number, and each subsequent number is added as the spiral goes up.Wait, I need to clarify. The spiral starts at the base, so the first number is at the base, then as it winds up, each subsequent number is inscribed along the spiral. So, the number of numbers inscribed would depend on how many numbers fit along the spiral's length.But without knowing the spacing between each number, it's tricky. Maybe the numbers are inscribed at each complete turn? Since each turn rises by 0.1 meters, and the total height is 2 meters, so 20 turns. So, perhaps each number is inscribed at each turn, meaning 20 numbers? But the Fibonacci sequence starts with two numbers, 3 and 7, so maybe the first number is at the base, the second number is after the first turn, and so on.Wait, but the Fibonacci sequence is defined by each number being the sum of the previous two. So, starting with 3 and 7, the next number would be 10, then 17, then 27, and so on. So, if each number is inscribed at each turn, then the number of numbers would be 20, but starting from 3, 7, 10,... up to the 20th term.But the problem says the sequence is inscribed along the entire length of the spiral. So, maybe each number is inscribed at each segment of the spiral? But without knowing how the spiral is divided, it's unclear.Wait, perhaps the numbers are inscribed at each complete turn, so each turn corresponds to one number. Since there are 20 turns, that would mean 20 numbers. But starting from the first number at the base, which is the start of the spiral, before the first turn. Hmm, so maybe the first number is at the base, then after the first turn, the second number, and so on. So, the number of numbers would be 21? Because the first number is at the base, then 20 turns, each adding a number. So, 21 numbers in total.Wait, let me think again. If the spiral starts at the base, that's the first number. Then, as it makes the first turn, it reaches the first 0.1 meters, that's the second number. Then, the second turn, another 0.1 meters, that's the third number, and so on. So, each turn adds a number. Since there are 20 turns, that would be 20 numbers after the first one. So, total numbers would be 21.But the problem says the sequence is inscribed along the entire length of the spiral. So, maybe it's continuous, not just at each turn. Hmm, but without knowing the spacing, it's hard to determine. Maybe the numbers are inscribed at each meter? But the spiral is 31.48 meters long, so that would be about 31 numbers. But the problem doesn't specify the spacing.Wait, perhaps the numbers are inscribed at each complete turn, which is 0.1 meters rise. So, each turn is 0.1 meters, and each turn corresponds to one number. So, 20 turns, 20 numbers. But starting from the base, which is the first number, so maybe 21 numbers? Hmm, I'm a bit confused.Alternatively, maybe the numbers are inscribed continuously along the spiral, with each number taking up a certain length. But without knowing how much length each number takes, we can't determine the number of numbers. So, perhaps the question is assuming that each number is inscribed at each turn, so 20 turns, 20 numbers, but starting from the first number at the base, which is before the first turn, so total numbers would be 21.Wait, let me check the problem statement again. It says, "the sequence is inscribed along the entire length of the spiral." So, perhaps the entire spiral is covered with numbers, each inscribed at each point along the spiral. But without knowing the spacing, it's impossible to know how many numbers there are. So, maybe the question is assuming that each number is inscribed at each turn, so 20 turns, 20 numbers, but starting from the first number at the base, which is before the first turn, so 21 numbers.Alternatively, maybe the numbers are inscribed at each 0.1 meters, which is the rise per turn. So, each 0.1 meters, a number is inscribed. Since the total height is 2 meters, that's 20 intervals, so 21 numbers. But the problem says the spiral is inscribed with a sequence of numbers, so maybe it's 21 numbers.Wait, but the Fibonacci sequence starts with two numbers, 3 and 7, so the first number is 3, the second is 7, the third is 10, the fourth is 17, and so on. So, if we have 21 numbers, starting from 3, that would be the first 21 numbers of the sequence.But let me think again. If the spiral is 31.48 meters long, and each number is inscribed at each turn, which is 0.1 meters apart in height, but the horizontal distance is the circumference. So, each turn is 0.5π meters in horizontal distance, and 0.1 meters in vertical. So, each turn is a segment of the spiral, which is sqrt((0.5π)^2 + (0.1)^2) meters long. Wait, but that's the length of each turn. So, each turn is approximately sqrt((1.5708)^2 + (0.1)^2) = sqrt(2.467 + 0.01) = sqrt(2.477) ≈ 1.574 meters per turn. So, 20 turns would be 20 * 1.574 ≈ 31.48 meters, which matches the total length.So, each turn is approximately 1.574 meters long. So, if each number is inscribed at each turn, meaning at each 1.574 meters along the spiral, starting from the base, which is 0 meters. So, the first number is at 0 meters, the second at 1.574 meters, the third at 3.148 meters, and so on. So, the number of numbers would be the total length divided by the length per turn, plus one? Because the first number is at the start.Wait, total length is 31.48 meters. Each turn is 1.574 meters. So, 31.48 / 1.574 ≈ 20. So, 20 turns, meaning 21 numbers? Because the first number is at 0, then after 1.574 meters, the second number, and so on, up to the 20th turn, which is at 31.48 meters. So, 21 numbers in total.But the problem says the sequence starts with 3 and 7, so the first two numbers are given. So, starting from the base, the first number is 3, then after the first turn, the second number is 7, then the third number is 10, and so on. So, the number of numbers inscribed would be 21, because starting from the base, each turn adds a number, and there are 20 turns, so 21 numbers.Wait, but let me confirm. If the spiral is 31.48 meters long, and each turn is 1.574 meters, then 31.48 / 1.574 ≈ 20, so 20 turns. So, starting from the base, which is the first number, then after each turn, a new number is inscribed. So, the first number is at 0 meters, the second at 1.574 meters, the third at 3.148 meters, ..., the 21st number at 31.48 meters. So, yes, 21 numbers.But wait, the problem says the sequence is inscribed along the entire length of the spiral. So, does that mean that the entire spiral is covered with numbers, each inscribed at each point? But without knowing the spacing, it's unclear. However, since the spiral rises 0.1 meters per turn, and the total height is 2 meters, we have 20 turns. So, perhaps each number is inscribed at each turn, meaning 20 numbers after the first one, totaling 21 numbers.Alternatively, maybe the numbers are inscribed continuously, with each number taking up a certain length along the spiral. But without knowing the spacing, we can't determine the number of numbers. So, perhaps the question is assuming that each number is inscribed at each turn, so 20 turns, 20 numbers, but starting from the first number at the base, which is before the first turn, so 21 numbers.Wait, but the Fibonacci sequence is defined by each number being the sum of the previous two. So, starting with 3 and 7, the next number is 10, then 17, 27, 44, 71, 115, 186, 291, 477, 768, 1245, 2013, 3258, 5271, 8529, 13800, 22329, 36129, 58458, 94587, 153045... So, if we have 21 numbers, starting from 3, that would be the first 21 numbers of this sequence.But the problem doesn't specify how the numbers are spaced along the spiral. It just says the sequence is inscribed along the entire length. So, perhaps the numbers are inscribed at each complete turn, which is 0.1 meters rise, and each turn corresponds to one number. So, 20 turns, 20 numbers, but starting from the first number at the base, which is before the first turn, so 21 numbers.Alternatively, maybe the numbers are inscribed at each 0.1 meters along the height, so 20 intervals, 21 numbers. But since the spiral is 31.48 meters long, and each turn is 1.574 meters, 20 turns make up the entire length. So, each number is inscribed at each turn, so 20 turns, 20 numbers, but starting from the base, which is the first number, so 21 numbers.I think that's the most reasonable assumption. So, the number of numbers inscribed on the column would be 21.Wait, but let me think again. If the spiral is 31.48 meters long, and each number is inscribed at each turn, which is 1.574 meters apart, then the number of numbers would be the total length divided by the length per turn, plus one. So, 31.48 / 1.574 ≈ 20, so 20 intervals, 21 numbers. So, yes, 21 numbers.But the problem says the sequence is inscribed along the entire length, so it's possible that the numbers are inscribed continuously, with each number taking up a certain length. But without knowing the spacing, we can't determine the number of numbers. So, perhaps the question is assuming that each number is inscribed at each turn, so 20 turns, 20 numbers, but starting from the first number at the base, which is before the first turn, so 21 numbers.Alternatively, maybe the numbers are inscribed at each 0.1 meters along the height, which would be 20 intervals, 21 numbers. But since the spiral is 31.48 meters long, and each turn is 1.574 meters, 20 turns make up the entire length. So, each number is inscribed at each turn, so 20 turns, 20 numbers, but starting from the base, which is the first number, so 21 numbers.I think that's the most reasonable assumption. So, the number of numbers inscribed on the column would be 21.Wait, but let me check the math again. The total height is 2 meters, each turn rises 0.1 meters, so 20 turns. The circumference is 0.5π meters, so each turn is 0.5π meters horizontally. The length of each turn is sqrt((0.5π)^2 + (0.1)^2) ≈ sqrt(2.467 + 0.01) ≈ 1.574 meters. So, 20 turns would be 20 * 1.574 ≈ 31.48 meters, which matches the total length.So, if each number is inscribed at each turn, starting from the base, which is the first number, then after each turn, a new number is inscribed. So, the first number is at 0 meters, the second at 1.574 meters, the third at 3.148 meters, ..., the 21st number at 31.48 meters. So, 21 numbers in total.Therefore, the answers are:1. The total length of the spiral is approximately 31.48 meters.2. The number of numbers inscribed on the column is 21.But wait, let me make sure about the second part. The Fibonacci-like sequence starts with 3 and 7, so the first two numbers are 3 and 7. Then, each subsequent number is the sum of the previous two. So, the sequence would be: 3, 7, 10, 17, 27, 44, 71, 115, 186, 291, 477, 768, 1245, 2013, 3258, 5271, 8529, 13800, 22329, 36129, 58458, 94587, 153045, etc. So, if we have 21 numbers, starting from 3, that would be up to the 21st term.But the problem says the sequence is inscribed along the entire length of the spiral. So, if each number is inscribed at each turn, which is 20 turns, then we have 21 numbers, starting from 3. So, the 21st number would be the last one at the top of the column.Therefore, the answers are:1. Total length of the spiral: approximately 31.48 meters.2. Number of numbers inscribed: 21.But let me write the exact value for the length instead of the approximate. The exact length is sqrt(4 + 100π²). So, that's sqrt(4 + 100π²) meters. Alternatively, factoring out, it's sqrt(4(1 + 25π²)) = 2*sqrt(1 + 25π²). But perhaps it's better to leave it as sqrt(4 + 100π²).Wait, but 100π² is 100*(π²), so 100π² + 4 is 4 + 100π². So, the exact length is sqrt(4 + 100π²) meters.So, to write the final answers:1. The total length of the spiral is sqrt(4 + 100π²) meters, which is approximately 31.48 meters.2. The number of numbers inscribed on the column is 21.But let me check if 21 is correct. If the spiral has 20 turns, each turn adding a number after the first one, so starting with the first number at the base, then 20 more numbers, totaling 21. Yes, that makes sense.Alternatively, if the first number is at the base, and each turn adds a number, then after 20 turns, you have 21 numbers. So, yes, 21 is correct.So, final answers:1. The total length of the spiral is sqrt(4 + 100π²) meters, approximately 31.48 meters.2. The number of numbers inscribed on the column is 21.</think>
❓:An experimental agriculturist is testing the effects of organic farming techniques on crop yield and soil health. The agricultist has a field divided into two sections: one for organic farming and one for conventional farming. Over a period of 5 years, the agriculturist collects data on the yield (in tons per hectare) and the soil organic matter content (in percentage) for both sections.1. The yield data for organic farming (in tons per hectare) over 5 years is modeled by the function ( Y_o(t) = 3 sinleft(frac{pi}{3}tright) + 10 ), where ( t ) is the time in years. The yield data for conventional farming is modeled by the function ( Y_c(t) = 8 - 0.5t ). Determine the total yield difference between organic and conventional farming over the 5-year period by evaluating the integral of the difference function ( Y_o(t) - Y_c(t) ) from ( t=0 ) to ( t=5 ).2. The soil organic matter content for organic farming is initially 3% and increases at a rate proportional to the difference between the maximum possible organic matter content (10%) and the current content. This can be modeled by the differential equation ( frac{dS_o}{dt} = k(10 - S_o) ). For conventional farming, the soil organic matter content is initially 3% and decreases at a constant rate of 0.5% per year. Solve the differential equation for the organic farming soil organic matter content ( S_o(t) ) given ( S_o(0) = 3 ), determine the value of ( k ) such that ( S_o(5) = 7 ), and compare the soil organic matter content between organic and conventional farming after 5 years.
🧠:<think>Okay, so I have this problem about an experimental agriculturist testing organic vs. conventional farming. It's divided into two parts. Let me tackle them one by one.Starting with part 1: They give me two functions for yield over time. For organic farming, it's ( Y_o(t) = 3 sinleft(frac{pi}{3}tright) + 10 ), and for conventional, it's ( Y_c(t) = 8 - 0.5t ). I need to find the total yield difference over 5 years by integrating the difference function from 0 to 5.Alright, so the difference function is ( Y_o(t) - Y_c(t) ). Let me write that out:( Y_o(t) - Y_c(t) = 3 sinleft(frac{pi}{3}tright) + 10 - (8 - 0.5t) )Simplify that:( 3 sinleft(frac{pi}{3}tright) + 10 - 8 + 0.5t )( = 3 sinleft(frac{pi}{3}tright) + 2 + 0.5t )So the integral I need to compute is:( int_{0}^{5} left[3 sinleft(frac{pi}{3}tright) + 2 + 0.5tright] dt )Let me break this integral into three separate integrals for easier computation:1. ( int_{0}^{5} 3 sinleft(frac{pi}{3}tright) dt )2. ( int_{0}^{5} 2 dt )3. ( int_{0}^{5} 0.5t dt )Starting with the first integral:( int 3 sinleft(frac{pi}{3}tright) dt )I remember that the integral of ( sin(ax) ) is ( -frac{1}{a} cos(ax) ). So applying that here:Let ( a = frac{pi}{3} ), so the integral becomes:( 3 times left( -frac{3}{pi} cosleft(frac{pi}{3}tright) right) + C )Simplify:( -frac{9}{pi} cosleft(frac{pi}{3}tright) + C )Now, evaluating from 0 to 5:At t=5:( -frac{9}{pi} cosleft(frac{5pi}{3}right) )I know that ( cosleft(frac{5pi}{3}right) = cosleft(2pi - frac{pi}{3}right) = cosleft(frac{pi}{3}right) = 0.5 )So:( -frac{9}{pi} times 0.5 = -frac{9}{2pi} )At t=0:( -frac{9}{pi} cos(0) = -frac{9}{pi} times 1 = -frac{9}{pi} )Subtracting the lower limit from the upper limit:( -frac{9}{2pi} - (-frac{9}{pi}) = -frac{9}{2pi} + frac{9}{pi} = frac{9}{2pi} )So the first integral evaluates to ( frac{9}{2pi} ).Moving on to the second integral:( int_{0}^{5} 2 dt )That's straightforward:( 2t ) evaluated from 0 to 5:( 2 times 5 - 2 times 0 = 10 - 0 = 10 )Third integral:( int_{0}^{5} 0.5t dt )Integral of ( t ) is ( frac{1}{2}t^2 ), so:( 0.5 times frac{1}{2} t^2 = frac{1}{4} t^2 )Evaluated from 0 to 5:( frac{1}{4} times 25 - frac{1}{4} times 0 = frac{25}{4} - 0 = frac{25}{4} )So now, adding up all three integrals:First integral: ( frac{9}{2pi} )Second integral: 10Third integral: ( frac{25}{4} )Total integral:( frac{9}{2pi} + 10 + frac{25}{4} )Let me compute the numerical values:( frac{9}{2pi} ) is approximately ( frac{9}{6.2832} approx 1.432 )( 10 ) is just 10.( frac{25}{4} = 6.25 )Adding them up:1.432 + 10 + 6.25 ≈ 17.682But since the question says to evaluate the integral, maybe I should keep it exact instead of approximating.So exact value is:( frac{9}{2pi} + 10 + frac{25}{4} )Let me express all terms with a common denominator or just combine them as they are.Alternatively, I can write it as:( frac{9}{2pi} + frac{40}{4} + frac{25}{4} = frac{9}{2pi} + frac{65}{4} )So, ( frac{65}{4} + frac{9}{2pi} ) tons per hectare over 5 years.But maybe the question expects a numerical answer? Hmm, the problem says "evaluate the integral," so perhaps I should compute it numerically.Calculating:( frac{9}{2pi} approx frac{9}{6.2832} approx 1.432 )( frac{65}{4} = 16.25 )So total ≈ 1.432 + 16.25 ≈ 17.682 tons.Wait, but actually, the integral is over 5 years, so the units would be tons per hectare multiplied by years? Wait, no, the yield is in tons per hectare per year? Wait, no, the functions Y_o(t) and Y_c(t) are in tons per hectare, so the integral over 5 years would be total tons per hectare over 5 years? Hmm, actually, no.Wait, hold on. Yield is in tons per hectare, so it's annual yield. So integrating over time would give total yield over 5 years in tons per hectare multiplied by years? Wait, that doesn't make sense. Wait, no, actually, the integral of yield over time is cumulative yield over the period. So if yield is in tons per hectare per year, integrating over 5 years would give total tons per hectare.Wait, let me think. If Y(t) is tons per hectare per year, then integrating Y(t) from 0 to 5 gives total tons per hectare over 5 years. So the units would be tons per hectare.But in the problem statement, it's just yield in tons per hectare, so maybe Y(t) is annual yield, so integrating over 5 years gives total yield over 5 years in tons per hectare.Wait, but actually, no. Wait, if Y(t) is in tons per hectare, then integrating over time would give tons per hectare multiplied by time, which is not standard. Hmm, maybe I'm overcomplicating.Wait, perhaps the functions Y_o(t) and Y_c(t) are given as annual yields, so each year's yield is Y(t). So the total yield over 5 years would be the sum of Y(t) each year, but since it's given as a continuous function, we integrate over the interval.So, in that case, the integral would represent the total yield over the 5-year period, in tons per hectare.Therefore, the exact value is ( frac{9}{2pi} + 10 + frac{25}{4} ), which is approximately 17.682 tons per hectare.But let me double-check my integral calculations.First integral:( int_{0}^{5} 3 sinleft(frac{pi}{3}tright) dt )Antiderivative: ( -frac{9}{pi} cosleft(frac{pi}{3}tright) )At t=5: ( -frac{9}{pi} cosleft(frac{5pi}{3}right) = -frac{9}{pi} times 0.5 = -frac{9}{2pi} )At t=0: ( -frac{9}{pi} cos(0) = -frac{9}{pi} times 1 = -frac{9}{pi} )Difference: ( -frac{9}{2pi} - (-frac{9}{pi}) = frac{9}{2pi} ). That seems correct.Second integral: 2t from 0 to 5 is 10. Correct.Third integral: 0.5 * (t^2)/2 from 0 to 5 is 0.25 * 25 = 6.25. Correct.So total is 1.432 + 10 + 6.25 ≈ 17.682. So approximately 17.68 tons per hectare.But maybe I should write it as an exact expression. So:Total yield difference = ( frac{9}{2pi} + 10 + frac{25}{4} )Alternatively, combining constants:10 is 40/4, so 40/4 + 25/4 = 65/4. So total is ( frac{65}{4} + frac{9}{2pi} ).So that's the exact value.Moving on to part 2.The soil organic matter content for organic farming is modeled by the differential equation ( frac{dS_o}{dt} = k(10 - S_o) ), with ( S_o(0) = 3 ). We need to solve this differential equation, find k such that ( S_o(5) = 7 ), and compare with conventional farming, which decreases at 0.5% per year starting from 3%.First, solving the differential equation for organic farming.This is a first-order linear differential equation, which is separable.The equation is:( frac{dS_o}{dt} = k(10 - S_o) )Let me rewrite it as:( frac{dS_o}{10 - S_o} = k dt )Integrate both sides.Left side integral: ( int frac{1}{10 - S_o} dS_o )Right side integral: ( int k dt )Compute left integral:Let u = 10 - S_o, so du = -dS_o, so -du = dS_oThus, integral becomes:( -int frac{1}{u} du = -ln|u| + C = -ln|10 - S_o| + C )Right integral:( int k dt = kt + C )So combining both sides:( -ln|10 - S_o| = kt + C )Multiply both sides by -1:( ln|10 - S_o| = -kt + C )Exponentiate both sides:( |10 - S_o| = e^{-kt + C} = e^C e^{-kt} )Let me write ( e^C ) as another constant, say A.So:( 10 - S_o = A e^{-kt} )Solve for S_o:( S_o = 10 - A e^{-kt} )Now, apply the initial condition ( S_o(0) = 3 ):At t=0,( 3 = 10 - A e^{0} )( 3 = 10 - A )Thus, A = 10 - 3 = 7So the solution is:( S_o(t) = 10 - 7 e^{-kt} )Now, we need to find k such that ( S_o(5) = 7 ).So plug t=5 into the equation:( 7 = 10 - 7 e^{-5k} )Solve for k:( 7 - 10 = -7 e^{-5k} )( -3 = -7 e^{-5k} )Divide both sides by -7:( frac{3}{7} = e^{-5k} )Take natural logarithm of both sides:( lnleft(frac{3}{7}right) = -5k )Thus,( k = -frac{1}{5} lnleft(frac{3}{7}right) )Simplify:( k = frac{1}{5} lnleft(frac{7}{3}right) )Because ( ln(1/x) = -ln(x) ), so negative cancels.So ( k = frac{1}{5} lnleft(frac{7}{3}right) )Compute this value numerically if needed, but maybe we can leave it as is.Now, moving on to conventional farming.Soil organic matter content decreases at a constant rate of 0.5% per year, starting from 3%.So the model is:( S_c(t) = 3 - 0.5t )We need to find the soil organic matter content after 5 years for both organic and conventional.For organic:( S_o(5) = 7 ) as given.For conventional:( S_c(5) = 3 - 0.5 times 5 = 3 - 2.5 = 0.5% )Wait, that seems very low. 0.5% after 5 years? That's a significant decrease.But let me confirm:Starting at 3%, decreasing by 0.5% each year.So each year:Year 1: 3 - 0.5 = 2.5%Year 2: 2.5 - 0.5 = 2%Year 3: 2 - 0.5 = 1.5%Year 4: 1.5 - 0.5 = 1%Year 5: 1 - 0.5 = 0.5%Yes, that's correct.So after 5 years, organic farming has 7%, conventional has 0.5%.So the difference is 7 - 0.5 = 6.5%.Wait, but the question says "compare the soil organic matter content between organic and conventional farming after 5 years."So, organic is 7%, conventional is 0.5%, so organic is significantly higher.But let me make sure I didn't make a mistake in the differential equation solution.We had:( S_o(t) = 10 - 7 e^{-kt} )With k = (1/5) ln(7/3)So at t=5:( S_o(5) = 10 - 7 e^{-5k} = 10 - 7 e^{-5*(1/5) ln(7/3)} = 10 - 7 e^{-ln(7/3)} )Simplify exponent:( e^{-ln(7/3)} = e^{ln(3/7)} = 3/7 )Thus,( S_o(5) = 10 - 7*(3/7) = 10 - 3 = 7 ). Correct.So that's consistent.Therefore, after 5 years, organic farming has 7% soil organic matter, while conventional has 0.5%, so organic is much better in terms of soil health.So summarizing part 2:- Solved the differential equation, found k = (1/5) ln(7/3)- Calculated S_o(5) = 7%- Calculated S_c(5) = 0.5%- Compared: Organic is much higher.So, putting it all together.For part 1, the total yield difference is approximately 17.68 tons per hectare over 5 years, with organic farming outperforming conventional.For part 2, organic farming leads to significantly higher soil organic matter content after 5 years compared to conventional.Final Answer1. The total yield difference over 5 years is boxed{frac{65}{4} + frac{9}{2pi}} tons per hectare.2. The value of ( k ) is boxed{frac{1}{5} lnleft(frac{7}{3}right)}, and after 5 years, the soil organic matter content for organic farming is 7% compared to 0.5% for conventional farming.</think>
❓:A retired musician, Alex, reminisces about the serene moments spent with their friend Jamie, a painter. During their youth, they would often meet in a secluded garden surrounded by a circular path where they would discuss their art. The garden had a unique mathematical property: the path was designed such that any point on the path was equidistant from two concentric circles, where the inner circle represented the boundary of the garden, and the outer circle represented the boundary of the path.1. Suppose the radius of the inner circle is ( r_1 ) and the radius of the outer circle is ( r_2 ). The path itself forms the locus of points that are equidistant from both circles. Define this path mathematically and find its equation in terms of ( r_1 ) and ( r_2 ).2. Alex and Jamie once counted the number of footsteps it took to walk around the entire path. If Alex's average step length was ( s ) meters, and it took him exactly ( n ) steps to complete one full circuit along the path, calculate the value of ( n ) given that the area between the two circles is exactly equal to the area of the inner circle. Express your answer in terms of ( r_1 ), ( s ), and ( pi ).
🧠:<think>Alright, so I have this problem about Alex and Jamie, who used to hang out in a garden with a special path. The path is equidistant from two concentric circles, the inner one being the garden boundary and the outer one the path boundary. There are two parts to the problem.Starting with part 1: I need to define the path mathematically and find its equation in terms of r1 and r2. Hmm, okay. So, concentric circles mean they share the same center. The inner circle has radius r1, outer circle r2. The path is the set of points equidistant from both circles. Wait, equidistant from both circles... So, for any point on the path, the distance to the inner circle is equal to the distance to the outer circle.But wait, the distance from a point to a circle is typically the shortest distance, which would be the difference in radii if the point is outside the inner circle but inside the outer circle. So, if the point is on the path, which is between the two circles, the distance to the inner circle would be (distance from center to point) minus r1, and the distance to the outer circle would be r2 minus (distance from center to point). Since these distances are equal, we can set up an equation.Let me denote the distance from the center to a point on the path as R. Then, the distance from the point to the inner circle is R - r1, and the distance to the outer circle is r2 - R. Setting these equal:R - r1 = r2 - RSolving for R:R - r1 = r2 - R R + R = r2 + r1 2R = r1 + r2 R = (r1 + r2)/2So, the path is a circle with radius equal to the average of r1 and r2. Therefore, the equation of the path is x² + y² = [(r1 + r2)/2]².Wait, but let me think again. Is this correct? Because if the point is equidistant from both circles, it's not just the average radius. Let me visualize it. Imagine two concentric circles, one inside the other. The path is in between them. For any point on the path, the distance to the inner circle is equal to the distance to the outer circle.So, if the point is at radius R, then the distance to the inner circle is R - r1, and the distance to the outer circle is r2 - R. These are equal, so R - r1 = r2 - R, which gives R = (r1 + r2)/2. Yeah, that seems right. So, the path is a circle with radius (r1 + r2)/2.Therefore, the equation is x² + y² = [(r1 + r2)/2]^2.Okay, that seems straightforward. So, part 1 is done.Moving on to part 2: Alex and Jamie counted the number of footsteps to walk around the entire path. Alex's average step length is s meters, and it took him exactly n steps to complete one full circuit. We need to find n given that the area between the two circles is exactly equal to the area of the inner circle.First, let's parse the information. The area between the two circles is the area of the annulus, which is π(r2² - r1²). This is equal to the area of the inner circle, which is πr1². So, we have:π(r2² - r1²) = πr1²Divide both sides by π:r2² - r1² = r1² r2² = 2r1² r2 = r1√2So, the radius of the outer circle is r1 times the square root of 2.Now, the path that Alex walked around is the circumference of the circular path we found in part 1, which has radius (r1 + r2)/2. Since we now know r2 = r1√2, let's substitute that in:Radius of path, R = (r1 + r1√2)/2 = r1(1 + √2)/2Therefore, the circumference of the path is 2πR = 2π * [r1(1 + √2)/2] = πr1(1 + √2)So, the circumference is πr1(1 + √2) meters.Now, Alex's step length is s meters, and he took n steps to complete the circuit. So, the total distance he walked is n * s.Therefore, n * s = πr1(1 + √2)Solving for n:n = [πr1(1 + √2)] / sSo, n is equal to π times r1 times (1 + √2) divided by s.Wait, let me double-check. The area between the circles is equal to the area of the inner circle. So, π(r2² - r1²) = πr1², which simplifies to r2² = 2r1², so r2 = r1√2. That seems correct.Then, the radius of the path is the average of r1 and r2, which is (r1 + r1√2)/2 = r1(1 + √2)/2. Circumference is 2π times that, so 2π * r1(1 + √2)/2 = πr1(1 + √2). That looks good.Then, n is the total distance divided by step length, so n = πr1(1 + √2)/s. Yeah, that seems right.So, summarizing:1. The path is a circle with radius (r1 + r2)/2, so equation is x² + y² = [(r1 + r2)/2]^2.2. The number of steps n is πr1(1 + √2)/s.I think that's it.Final Answer1. The equation of the path is boxed{x^2 + y^2 = left( frac{r_1 + r_2}{2} right)^2}.2. The value of ( n ) is boxed{dfrac{pi r_1 (1 + sqrt{2})}{s}}.</think>
❓:As an evidence-based animal nutritionist, you are analyzing the effects of a new pet supplement on overall health metrics. You have collected data from a controlled experiment involving 50 dogs over 6 months. The experiment measures the impact of the supplement on two key health metrics: weight gain and immune response.Sub-problem 1:The weight gain of the dogs is modeled by a function ( W(t) ) where ( t ) is the time in months, given by ( W(t) = W_0 + alpha t + beta e^{-gamma t} ). Here, ( W_0 ) is the initial average weight of the dogs, and ( alpha ), ( beta ), and ( gamma ) are constants derived from the experiment. Based on your data:- ( W_0 = 20 ) kg- ( alpha = 0.5 ) kg/month- ( beta = 3 ) kg- ( gamma = 0.2 ) month(^{-1})Calculate the average weight of the dogs after 6 months and determine the rate of weight gain at ( t = 6 ) months.Sub-problem 2:For the immune response, the effectiveness of the supplement is modeled by the function ( I(t) ) where ( t ) is the time in months, given by ( I(t) = I_0 (1 + delta t^2) ). Here, ( I_0 ) is the baseline immune response index, and ( delta ) is a constant derived from the experiment. Based on your data:- ( I_0 = 100 )- ( delta = 0.05 )Determine the immune response index at ( t = 6 ) months. Additionally, compute the average immune response index over the 6-month period.
🧠:<think>Okay, so I have this problem about analyzing the effects of a new pet supplement on dogs. There are two sub-problems: one about weight gain and another about immune response. Let me tackle them one by one.Starting with Sub-problem 1. The weight gain is modeled by the function ( W(t) = W_0 + alpha t + beta e^{-gamma t} ). I need to find the average weight after 6 months and the rate of weight gain at that time. First, let me note down the given values:- ( W_0 = 20 ) kg- ( alpha = 0.5 ) kg/month- ( beta = 3 ) kg- ( gamma = 0.2 ) month(^{-1})So, plugging these into the function, the weight at time t is:( W(t) = 20 + 0.5t + 3e^{-0.2t} )To find the weight after 6 months, I just need to substitute t = 6 into this equation.Calculating each term:- The initial weight is 20 kg.- The linear term is 0.5 * 6 = 3 kg.- The exponential term is 3 * e^{-0.2 * 6}. Let me compute that. First, 0.2 * 6 is 1.2, so it's e^{-1.2}. I know that e^{-1} is approximately 0.3679, and e^{-1.2} is a bit less. Maybe around 0.3012? Let me check with a calculator. Yes, e^{-1.2} ≈ 0.3012. So, 3 * 0.3012 ≈ 0.9036 kg.Adding them all together: 20 + 3 + 0.9036 ≈ 23.9036 kg. So, approximately 23.90 kg after 6 months.Now, the rate of weight gain at t = 6 months. That means I need to find the derivative of W(t) with respect to t, which is W’(t), and then evaluate it at t = 6.The function is ( W(t) = 20 + 0.5t + 3e^{-0.2t} ). The derivative is straightforward:- The derivative of 20 is 0.- The derivative of 0.5t is 0.5.- The derivative of 3e^{-0.2t} is 3 * (-0.2) e^{-0.2t} = -0.6 e^{-0.2t}.So, W’(t) = 0.5 - 0.6 e^{-0.2t}Now, plug in t = 6:W’(6) = 0.5 - 0.6 e^{-1.2}We already calculated e^{-1.2} ≈ 0.3012, so:0.5 - 0.6 * 0.3012 ≈ 0.5 - 0.1807 ≈ 0.3193 kg/month.So, the rate of weight gain at 6 months is approximately 0.3193 kg/month.Moving on to Sub-problem 2. The immune response is modeled by ( I(t) = I_0 (1 + delta t^2) ). We need to find the immune response at t = 6 and the average over 6 months.Given:- ( I_0 = 100 )- ( delta = 0.05 )So, the function is ( I(t) = 100 (1 + 0.05 t^2) ).First, immune response at t = 6:Compute ( I(6) = 100 (1 + 0.05 * 6^2) )6 squared is 36, so 0.05 * 36 = 1.8Thus, I(6) = 100 * (1 + 1.8) = 100 * 2.8 = 280.So, the immune response index at 6 months is 280.Next, the average immune response over 6 months. Since the function is ( I(t) = 100 (1 + 0.05 t^2) ), the average value over the interval [0,6] can be found by integrating I(t) from 0 to 6 and then dividing by the interval length, which is 6.So, average I = (1/6) * ∫₀⁶ I(t) dt = (1/6) * ∫₀⁶ 100 (1 + 0.05 t²) dtLet me compute the integral step by step.First, factor out the constants:= (1/6) * 100 * ∫₀⁶ (1 + 0.05 t²) dt= (100/6) * [ ∫₀⁶ 1 dt + 0.05 ∫₀⁶ t² dt ]Compute each integral:∫₀⁶ 1 dt = [t]₀⁶ = 6 - 0 = 6∫₀⁶ t² dt = [ (t³)/3 ]₀⁶ = (6³)/3 - 0 = 216/3 = 72So, putting it back:= (100/6) * [6 + 0.05 * 72]Compute inside the brackets:0.05 * 72 = 3.6So, 6 + 3.6 = 9.6Now, multiply by (100/6):= (100/6) * 9.6Compute 100 * 9.6 = 960Then, 960 / 6 = 160Therefore, the average immune response index over 6 months is 160.Wait, let me double-check the integral calculations to make sure.Integral of 1 from 0 to 6 is indeed 6. Integral of t² is t³/3, so at 6, it's 216/3 = 72. Then, 0.05 * 72 = 3.6. Adding to 6 gives 9.6. Multiply by 100/6: 9.6 * (100/6) = (9.6 /6)*100 = 1.6 * 100 = 160. Yep, that seems correct.So, summarizing:Sub-problem 1:- Weight after 6 months: ~23.90 kg- Rate of weight gain at 6 months: ~0.3193 kg/monthSub-problem 2:- Immune response at 6 months: 280- Average immune response over 6 months: 160I think that's all. Let me just make sure I didn't make any arithmetic errors.For Sub-problem 1, weight calculation:20 + 0.5*6 = 20 + 3 = 23Plus 3*e^{-1.2} ≈ 3*0.3012 ≈ 0.9036Total ≈23.9036, which is about 23.90 kg.Derivative: 0.5 - 0.6*e^{-1.2} ≈0.5 - 0.6*0.3012≈0.5 - 0.1807≈0.3193. Correct.Sub-problem 2, immune response at 6: 100*(1 + 0.05*36)=100*(1 +1.8)=280. Correct.Average: Integral was 100*(6 + 3.6)/6=100*9.6/6=160. Correct.Yep, looks solid.Final AnswerSub-problem 1: The average weight after 6 months is boxed{23.90} kg and the rate of weight gain is boxed{0.32} kg/month.Sub-problem 2: The immune response index at 6 months is boxed{280} and the average immune response index over 6 months is boxed{160}.</think>
