Consider a civilization broadcasting a signal with a power of 2.0×104 watts. The Arecibo radio telescope, which is about 300 met

ers in diameter, could detect this signal if it is coming from as far away as 141 light-years. Suppose instead that the signal is being broadcast from the other side of the Milky Way Galaxy, about 70000 light-years away.

For light: Inverse Square Law 

<span>
The signal is weaken by the inverse square of the difference of distances this means that one over the square of the difference. </span>

<span>
</span>

Therefore, 70000LY / 141 LY =496.45 and that squared =246462.602 times less signal, or 1/246462.602.


 2 For a circular telescope like the Arecibo radio telescope that equals Pi times the radius squared. Sensitivity of the telescope depends on its area.<span>
The new telescope needs 246462.60 times that area to have enough sensitivity </span>

<span>
<span>(150 x 150 x Pi) = 70 685 sq m area for the Arecibo telescope and that times 246462.60
= 1.74212 x 10^10</span></span>

<span><span>
</span></span>

What is the diameter of a circle with that area?

 <span>
<span>1. Divide the area by Pi = 5.548156 x 10^9
2. Take the square root of the result to find the radius = 74485.94293</span></span>

3. Multiply by 2 to find the diameter = <span>148971.886</span>

X + 4y = 16<br> -X + 3y = -2 ​
jeyben [28]

Answer:

(8, 2 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

x + 4y = 16 → (1)

- x + 3y = - 2 → (2)

Adding the 2 equations term by term will eliminate the x- term

0 + 7y = 14

7y = 14 ( divide both sides by 7 )

y = 2

Substitute y = 2 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x

Substituting into (1)

x + 4(2) = 16

x + 8 = 16 ( subtract 8 from both sides )

x = 8

solution is (8, 2 )
