A small radio transmitter broadcasts in a 53 mile radius. If you drive along a straight line from a city 70 miles north of the t

ransmitter to a second city 74 miles east of the transmitter, during how much of the drive will you pick up a signal from the transmitter?

Answer:

29% of the drive

Step-by-step explanation:

The plot of the problem is:

Transmitter at origin (0,0)  

City to the north at (0,70)

City to the east at (74,0)

The path from city to city is a line with slope:

m = (-70)/74 = -35/37

and y-intercept at y = 70, so the equation is y = (-35/37)*x + 70.

The transmitter reach the area enclosed by the next circle:

x^2 + y^2 = 53^2

See the picture attached

The intersection is gotten from the picture or solving:

x^2 + [(-35/37)*x + 70]^2 = 53^2

the points approximately are: (24.1, 47.2) and (45.8, 26.7)

From Pythagorean theorem the total distance of the trip is:

d1 = √(70^2 + 74^2) ≈ 101.9 miles

And the distance when the signal is picked up is:

d2 =√ [(45.8 - 24.1)^2 + (47.2 - 26.7)^2] ≈ 29.9 miles

You will pick up a signal from the transmitter in (d2/d1)*100 = 29% of the drive.

The rate at which the temperature is dropping is 6t 5t2 degrees Celsius per hour t hours after sundown. How much had the tempera
Whitepunk [10]

Using a differential equation, it is found that the temperature dropped 72 degrees Celsius between sundown and 3 hours after sundown.

<h3>What is the differential equation that describes the temperature in t hours after sundown?</h3>

The rate at which the temperature is dropping is 6t + 5t^2 degrees Celsius per hour t hours after sundown, hence the <em>differential equation</em> is:

\frac{dT}{dt} = 6t + 5t^2

Applying <em>separation of variables</em>, we find the solution as follows:

\frac{dT}{dt} = 6t + 5t^2

dT = (6t + 5t^2) dt

\int dT = \int (6t + 5t^2) dt

T(t) = \frac{5t^3}{3} + 3t^2 + T(0)

In which T(0) is the temperature at sundown.

In 3 hours, the change will be of:

C = T(3) - T(0) = \frac{5t^3}{3} + 3t^2|_{t = 3}

Hence:

\frac{5(3)^3}{3} + 3(3)^2 = 45 + 27 = 72

The temperature dropped 72 degrees Celsius between sundown and 3 hours after sundown.
