question:A retired teacher, Mr. Smith, offers literacy classes to ex-convicts seeking to improve their education. He has observed that the progress of his students can be modeled using a logistic growth function. Let ( P(t) ) represent the literacy level of a student at time ( t ) (measured in weeks), where ( P(t) ) is a number between 0 and 1. The literacy level follows the function:[ P(t) = frac{1}{1 + e^{-k(t - t_0)}} ]where ( k ) is a positive constant representing the growth rate, and ( t_0 ) is the inflection point of the curve where the rate of learning is the fastest.1. Given that at week ( t = 4 ), the literacy level ( P(4) = 0.2 ), and at week ( t = 10 ), the literacy level ( P(10) = 0.8 ), determine the values of ( k ) and ( t_0 ).2. Suppose Mr. Smith wants to predict when a student will reach a literacy level of 0.95. Using the values of ( k ) and ( t_0 ) determined in sub-problem 1, find the week ( t ) at which ( P(t) = 0.95 ).
answer:<think>Okay, so I have this problem about Mr. Smith's literacy classes, and I need to find the values of ( k ) and ( t_0 ) for the logistic growth function. The function given is:[ P(t) = frac{1}{1 + e^{-k(t - t_0)}} ]They told me that at week ( t = 4 ), the literacy level ( P(4) = 0.2 ), and at week ( t = 10 ), the literacy level ( P(10) = 0.8 ). I need to figure out ( k ) and ( t_0 ) using these two points.First, let me write down the two equations based on the given points.For ( t = 4 ) and ( P(4) = 0.2 ):[ 0.2 = frac{1}{1 + e^{-k(4 - t_0)}} ]And for ( t = 10 ) and ( P(10) = 0.8 ):[ 0.8 = frac{1}{1 + e^{-k(10 - t_0)}} ]Hmm, okay. So I have two equations with two unknowns, ( k ) and ( t_0 ). I need to solve this system of equations.Let me try to rearrange each equation to express them in terms of exponentials, which might make it easier to solve.Starting with the first equation:[ 0.2 = frac{1}{1 + e^{-k(4 - t_0)}} ]I can take the reciprocal of both sides to get:[ frac{1}{0.2} = 1 + e^{-k(4 - t_0)} ]Calculating ( frac{1}{0.2} ), which is 5. So,[ 5 = 1 + e^{-k(4 - t_0)} ]Subtracting 1 from both sides:[ 4 = e^{-k(4 - t_0)} ]Now, take the natural logarithm of both sides to solve for the exponent:[ ln(4) = -k(4 - t_0) ]Let me write that as:[ ln(4) = -k(4 - t_0) ][ ln(4) = -4k + k t_0 ][ k t_0 - 4k = ln(4) ][ k(t_0 - 4) = ln(4) ][ k = frac{ln(4)}{t_0 - 4} ]Okay, so that's one expression for ( k ) in terms of ( t_0 ).Now, let's do the same for the second equation:[ 0.8 = frac{1}{1 + e^{-k(10 - t_0)}} ]Again, take the reciprocal:[ frac{1}{0.8} = 1 + e^{-k(10 - t_0)} ]Calculating ( frac{1}{0.8} ), which is 1.25. So,[ 1.25 = 1 + e^{-k(10 - t_0)} ]Subtract 1:[ 0.25 = e^{-k(10 - t_0)} ]Take the natural logarithm:[ ln(0.25) = -k(10 - t_0) ]Simplify:[ ln(0.25) = -10k + k t_0 ][ k t_0 - 10k = ln(0.25) ][ k(t_0 - 10) = ln(0.25) ][ k = frac{ln(0.25)}{t_0 - 10} ]Alright, so now I have two expressions for ( k ):1. ( k = frac{ln(4)}{t_0 - 4} )2. ( k = frac{ln(0.25)}{t_0 - 10} )Since both expressions equal ( k ), I can set them equal to each other:[ frac{ln(4)}{t_0 - 4} = frac{ln(0.25)}{t_0 - 10} ]Now, I can solve for ( t_0 ). Let me write that equation again:[ frac{ln(4)}{t_0 - 4} = frac{ln(0.25)}{t_0 - 10} ]Let me compute the natural logs first. I know that ( ln(4) ) is approximately 1.386, and ( ln(0.25) ) is approximately -1.386. Wait, is that right?Wait, ( ln(4) = ln(2^2) = 2ln(2) approx 2 * 0.693 = 1.386 ). And ( ln(0.25) = ln(1/4) = -ln(4) approx -1.386 ). So yes, that's correct.So substituting these approximate values, the equation becomes:[ frac{1.386}{t_0 - 4} = frac{-1.386}{t_0 - 10} ]Hmm, okay. Let me write it as:[ frac{1.386}{t_0 - 4} = frac{-1.386}{t_0 - 10} ]I can cross-multiply to solve for ( t_0 ):[ 1.386(t_0 - 10) = -1.386(t_0 - 4) ]Let me distribute both sides:Left side: ( 1.386 t_0 - 13.86 )Right side: ( -1.386 t_0 + 5.544 )So, putting it together:[ 1.386 t_0 - 13.86 = -1.386 t_0 + 5.544 ]Now, let's bring all terms to one side. I'll add ( 1.386 t_0 ) to both sides and add 13.86 to both sides:[ 1.386 t_0 + 1.386 t_0 = 5.544 + 13.86 ]Simplify:[ 2.772 t_0 = 19.404 ]Divide both sides by 2.772:[ t_0 = frac{19.404}{2.772} ]Calculating that:Let me see, 2.772 times 7 is 19.404, right? Because 2.772 * 7 = 19.404. So, ( t_0 = 7 ).Wait, that's interesting. So the inflection point is at week 7.Now, let's find ( k ). Using one of the earlier expressions, say:[ k = frac{ln(4)}{t_0 - 4} ]Substituting ( t_0 = 7 ):[ k = frac{ln(4)}{7 - 4} = frac{ln(4)}{3} ]We know ( ln(4) approx 1.386 ), so:[ k approx frac{1.386}{3} approx 0.462 ]Alternatively, using the other expression:[ k = frac{ln(0.25)}{t_0 - 10} = frac{-1.386}{7 - 10} = frac{-1.386}{-3} = 0.462 ]Same result. So, ( k approx 0.462 ).Wait, let me check if these values actually satisfy the original equations.First, for ( t = 4 ):[ P(4) = frac{1}{1 + e^{-0.462(4 - 7)}} = frac{1}{1 + e^{-0.462*(-3)}} = frac{1}{1 + e^{1.386}} ]Calculating ( e^{1.386} ). Since ( e^{1.386} approx 4 ), because ( ln(4) approx 1.386 ). So,[ P(4) = frac{1}{1 + 4} = frac{1}{5} = 0.2 ]Perfect, that's correct.Now, for ( t = 10 ):[ P(10) = frac{1}{1 + e^{-0.462(10 - 7)}} = frac{1}{1 + e^{-0.462*3}} = frac{1}{1 + e^{-1.386}} ]Again, ( e^{-1.386} = 1/4 approx 0.25 ). So,[ P(10) = frac{1}{1 + 0.25} = frac{1}{1.25} = 0.8 ]Perfect, that also checks out.So, the values are ( t_0 = 7 ) weeks and ( k approx 0.462 ) per week.But wait, the question didn't specify to approximate, so maybe I should express ( k ) in terms of exact logarithms.Since ( ln(4) = 2ln(2) ), so ( k = frac{2ln(2)}{3} ). Alternatively, ( k = frac{ln(4)}{3} ).So, perhaps it's better to leave it as ( frac{ln(4)}{3} ) or ( frac{2ln(2)}{3} ). Let me see which one is more simplified.Alternatively, since ( ln(4) = 2ln(2) ), so ( k = frac{2ln(2)}{3} ). That's also fine.So, to write the exact value, ( k = frac{ln(4)}{3} ), and ( t_0 = 7 ).So, that's part 1 done.Now, moving on to part 2. Mr. Smith wants to predict when a student will reach a literacy level of 0.95. Using the values of ( k ) and ( t_0 ) determined earlier, find the week ( t ) at which ( P(t) = 0.95 ).So, we have:[ 0.95 = frac{1}{1 + e^{-k(t - t_0)}} ]We know ( k = frac{ln(4)}{3} ) and ( t_0 = 7 ). Let me plug those in.First, write the equation:[ 0.95 = frac{1}{1 + e^{-left(frac{ln(4)}{3}right)(t - 7)}} ]Let me solve for ( t ).First, take reciprocal:[ frac{1}{0.95} = 1 + e^{-left(frac{ln(4)}{3}right)(t - 7)} ]Calculating ( frac{1}{0.95} approx 1.0526 ). So,[ 1.0526 = 1 + e^{-left(frac{ln(4)}{3}right)(t - 7)} ]Subtract 1:[ 0.0526 = e^{-left(frac{ln(4)}{3}right)(t - 7)} ]Take natural logarithm of both sides:[ ln(0.0526) = -left(frac{ln(4)}{3}right)(t - 7) ]Compute ( ln(0.0526) ). Let me calculate that.( ln(0.0526) approx ln(1/19) approx -ln(19) approx -2.944 ). Alternatively, using calculator, ( ln(0.0526) approx -2.944 ).So,[ -2.944 = -left(frac{ln(4)}{3}right)(t - 7) ]Multiply both sides by -1:[ 2.944 = left(frac{ln(4)}{3}right)(t - 7) ]We know ( ln(4) approx 1.386 ), so:[ 2.944 = left(frac{1.386}{3}right)(t - 7) ][ 2.944 = 0.462(t - 7) ]Divide both sides by 0.462:[ t - 7 = frac{2.944}{0.462} ]Calculating that:( 2.944 / 0.462 approx 6.37 )So,[ t = 7 + 6.37 approx 13.37 ]So, approximately week 13.37. Since weeks are discrete, we might round up to week 14, but depending on the context, maybe week 13.37 is acceptable.But let me check if I can express this more precisely without approximating too early.Starting from:[ ln(0.0526) = -left(frac{ln(4)}{3}right)(t - 7) ]But actually, 0.0526 is approximately 1/19, but let me see if 0.0526 is exactly 1/19. 1/19 is approximately 0.0526315789, so yes, very close. So, ( ln(1/19) = -ln(19) approx -2.944 ).But perhaps I can express this without approximating the logarithm.Wait, let's see. Let me write the equation again:[ 0.95 = frac{1}{1 + e^{-k(t - t_0)}} ]So, ( 0.95 = frac{1}{1 + e^{-k(t - 7)}} )Let me rearrange:[ 1 + e^{-k(t - 7)} = frac{1}{0.95} ][ e^{-k(t - 7)} = frac{1}{0.95} - 1 = frac{1 - 0.95}{0.95} = frac{0.05}{0.95} = frac{1}{19} ]So,[ e^{-k(t - 7)} = frac{1}{19} ]Take natural logarithm:[ -k(t - 7) = lnleft(frac{1}{19}right) = -ln(19) ]Multiply both sides by -1:[ k(t - 7) = ln(19) ]We know ( k = frac{ln(4)}{3} ), so:[ frac{ln(4)}{3}(t - 7) = ln(19) ]Multiply both sides by 3:[ ln(4)(t - 7) = 3ln(19) ]Divide both sides by ( ln(4) ):[ t - 7 = frac{3ln(19)}{ln(4)} ]So,[ t = 7 + frac{3ln(19)}{ln(4)} ]Now, let's compute ( frac{3ln(19)}{ln(4)} ).First, compute ( ln(19) approx 2.944 ) and ( ln(4) approx 1.386 ).So,[ frac{3 * 2.944}{1.386} approx frac{8.832}{1.386} approx 6.37 ]So, ( t approx 7 + 6.37 = 13.37 ) weeks.So, approximately 13.37 weeks. Since weeks are typically counted in whole numbers, depending on the context, we might round this to week 13 or 14.But let me see if I can get a more precise value without approximating too early.Alternatively, perhaps I can express ( t ) in terms of logarithms.But since the question asks for the week ( t ), it's likely expecting a numerical value, rounded appropriately.Given that 0.37 of a week is roughly 0.37 * 7 days ≈ 2.6 days. So, about 13 weeks and 3 days. Depending on how precise Mr. Smith wants the prediction, he might say week 13 or week 14.But in the context of the problem, since it's a continuous model, 13.37 weeks is the exact point. So, if we have to give a specific week, we might say week 14, as week 13 would be before reaching 0.95.But let me verify by plugging ( t = 13 ) into the original equation.Compute ( P(13) ):[ P(13) = frac{1}{1 + e^{-k(13 - 7)}} = frac{1}{1 + e^{-0.462 * 6}} ]Calculate ( 0.462 * 6 = 2.772 )So,[ P(13) = frac{1}{1 + e^{-2.772}} ]Compute ( e^{-2.772} approx e^{-2.772} approx 0.0625 ) because ( e^{-2.772} approx 1/16 ), since ( ln(16) approx 2.772 ). So,[ P(13) = frac{1}{1 + 0.0625} = frac{1}{1.0625} approx 0.9412 ]So, at week 13, the literacy level is approximately 0.9412, which is just below 0.95.Now, let's check week 14:[ P(14) = frac{1}{1 + e^{-0.462 * 7}} ]Compute ( 0.462 * 7 = 3.234 )So,[ P(14) = frac{1}{1 + e^{-3.234}} ]Compute ( e^{-3.234} approx e^{-3.234} approx 0.039 )So,[ P(14) = frac{1}{1 + 0.039} approx frac{1}{1.039} approx 0.9624 ]So, at week 14, the literacy level is approximately 0.9624, which is above 0.95.Therefore, the exact time when ( P(t) = 0.95 ) is between week 13 and 14, specifically around week 13.37. Depending on how precise the prediction needs to be, Mr. Smith might say it's approximately week 13.37, or if he needs a whole week, he might say week 14.But since the question asks for the week ( t ) at which ( P(t) = 0.95 ), and given that it's a continuous model, the exact value is approximately 13.37 weeks. However, if we have to express it as a whole number, we might round it to week 13 or 14. But since 13.37 is closer to 13 than 14, but in terms of weeks, it's still week 13 until the next week starts. Hmm, this can be a bit ambiguous.Alternatively, perhaps the problem expects an exact expression in terms of logarithms, so let me see.We had:[ t = 7 + frac{3ln(19)}{ln(4)} ]So, that's an exact expression. If I want to write it in terms of ( ln ), that's fine. Alternatively, I can write it as:[ t = 7 + 3 cdot log_4(19) ]Because ( frac{ln(19)}{ln(4)} = log_4(19) ).So, ( t = 7 + 3 log_4(19) ). That's another exact form.But perhaps the question expects a numerical value. So, 13.37 weeks is approximately 13.4 weeks.Alternatively, if we use more precise calculations:Let me recalculate ( frac{3ln(19)}{ln(4)} ).Compute ( ln(19) approx 2.944438979 )Compute ( ln(4) approx 1.386294361 )So,[ frac{3 * 2.944438979}{1.386294361} = frac{8.833316937}{1.386294361} approx 6.37 ]So, 6.37 weeks added to 7 weeks is 13.37 weeks.So, 13.37 weeks is the exact time when ( P(t) = 0.95 ).Therefore, the answer is approximately 13.37 weeks, which is about 13 weeks and 3 days.But since the problem is about weeks, and we usually count weeks as whole numbers, it's probably acceptable to present it as approximately 13.4 weeks or 13 weeks and 3 days.But in the context of the problem, maybe they just want the decimal value, so 13.37 weeks.Alternatively, if we need to express it more precisely, we can write it as ( 7 + frac{3ln(19)}{ln(4)} ), but that might not be necessary.So, to sum up, for part 1, ( t_0 = 7 ) weeks and ( k = frac{ln(4)}{3} ) per week. For part 2, the time when ( P(t) = 0.95 ) is approximately 13.37 weeks.I think that's it.Final Answer1. ( k = boxed{dfrac{ln 4}{3}} ) and ( t_0 = boxed{7} ).2. The student will reach a literacy level of 0.95 at week ( t = boxed{13.37} ).</think>
question:Consider a philosopher who is skeptical about the applicability of theoretical physics, particularly the use of complex mathematical models to represent the universe. To explore this skepticism, let's consider a simplified mathematical universe where objects interact according to a set of abstract rules.1. In this universe, assume that the state of the universe at any time ( t ) is represented by a complex-valued function ( psi(t, x) ) where ( x ) is a real-valued parameter representing "space." The evolution of this function is governed by a non-linear differential equation given by: [ i frac{partial psi}{partial t} = -frac{partial^2 psi}{partial x^2} + V(x) psi + g|psi|^2 psi ] where ( i ) is the imaginary unit, ( V(x) ) is a real-valued potential function, and ( g ) is a real constant. Assume ( V(x) = sin(x) ). Prove whether or not there exists a non-trivial solution ( psi(t, x) ) that remains bounded for all time ( t ) and all ( x ).2. The philosopher suggests questioning the precision of mathematical constants used in physics. Consider the physical constant ( pi ) and its role in the frequency domain analysis. Show how a hypothetical slight perturbation ( epsilon ) in ( pi ) (i.e., using ( pi + epsilon ) instead of ( pi )) could theoretically affect the solution to the wave equation in one dimension: [ frac{partial^2 u}{partial t^2} = c^2 frac{partial^2 u}{partial x^2} ] where ( u(t, x) ) represents the wave function and ( c ) is the wave speed. Analyze the implications on the dispersion relation and phase velocity of traveling wave solutions.
answer:<think>Okay, so I have this problem about a simplified mathematical universe where the state is represented by a complex function ψ(t, x). The equation governing its evolution is a non-linear differential equation. The equation is:i ∂ψ/∂t = -∂²ψ/∂x² + V(x)ψ + g|ψ|²ψAnd V(x) is given as sin(x). The question is whether there's a non-trivial solution ψ(t, x) that remains bounded for all time t and all x.Hmm, okay. So first, let me try to understand what this equation is. It looks similar to the Schrödinger equation, which is used in quantum mechanics. The standard Schrödinger equation is linear, but here we have a non-linear term, which is g|ψ|²ψ. So this is a non-linear Schrödinger equation (NLSE). I remember that NLSEs are used in various fields like optics and Bose-Einstein condensates.The potential V(x) is sin(x), which is a periodic function. So this is a NLSE with a periodic potential. Interesting. The question is about the existence of a non-trivial bounded solution. Non-trivial means ψ is not identically zero. Bounded in all time and space.I think for such equations, solitons are solutions that maintain their shape and are localized. But I'm not sure if they exist for this specific potential. Alternatively, maybe there are stationary solutions or something else.Let me think about the form of the equation. It's an integro-differential equation because of the |ψ|² term. Maybe I can look for stationary solutions, which are solutions of the form ψ(t, x) = e^{-iωt}φ(x), where φ(x) is a time-independent function. Plugging this into the equation, we get:i (-iω e^{-iωt} φ) = -e^{-iωt} φ'' + sin(x) e^{-iωt} φ + g |e^{-iωt} φ|² e^{-iωt} φSimplify:ω φ = -φ'' + sin(x) φ + g |φ|² φSo, we get the equation:-φ'' + sin(x) φ + g |φ|² φ - ω φ = 0That's a non-linear eigenvalue problem. So, to find φ and ω such that this equation is satisfied.Now, the question is whether such a φ exists which is bounded. Since sin(x) is a bounded potential, and the non-linear term is also bounded if φ is bounded, maybe we can find such solutions.Alternatively, maybe we can use some fixed point theorem or variational methods to show existence. But I'm not sure about the specifics.Wait, another approach: maybe consider the case where g=0. Then the equation reduces to the standard Schrödinger equation with potential sin(x). In that case, the solutions are Bloch waves, which are periodic but not necessarily bounded in the sense of decaying. But with the non-linear term, perhaps we can have localized solutions.Alternatively, maybe consider a perturbative approach. Suppose that ψ is small, so the non-linear term is negligible. Then we have the linear Schrödinger equation with potential sin(x). The solutions to this are known to be Bloch functions, which are quasi-periodic but not necessarily bounded in the entire real line.But when we include the non-linear term, perhaps it can lead to a balance between the linear and non-linear terms, resulting in a bounded solution.Alternatively, maybe we can look for solutions in the form of standing waves or something else.Wait, another thought: the equation is similar to the Gross-Pitaevskii equation, which describes Bose-Einstein condensates. In that context, solitons can exist under certain conditions. But the potential here is sin(x), which is different from the usual harmonic potential.Alternatively, maybe we can use the inverse scattering transform or some other method to find solutions, but I don't know if that applies here.Alternatively, maybe consider the case where V(x) is zero. Then the equation is the standard NLSE, which has soliton solutions. But with V(x)=sin(x), it's more complicated.Wait, perhaps we can use a transformation to make the potential zero. Let me think. If we make a gauge transformation, maybe we can eliminate the potential. Let me try that.Suppose we write ψ(t, x) = e^{iθ(t, x)} φ(t, x). Then, substituting into the equation:i ∂/∂t [e^{iθ} φ] = -∂² [e^{iθ} φ]/∂x² + sin(x) e^{iθ} φ + g |e^{iθ} φ|² e^{iθ} φCompute the derivatives:Left-hand side:i [i ∂θ/∂t e^{iθ} φ + e^{iθ} ∂φ/∂t] = -∂θ/∂t e^{iθ} φ + i e^{iθ} ∂φ/∂tRight-hand side:- [ (∂²θ/∂x² + (∂θ/∂x)^2 ) e^{iθ} φ + 2 i ∂θ/∂x ∂φ/∂x e^{iθ} + e^{iθ} ∂²φ/∂x² ] + sin(x) e^{iθ} φ + g |φ|² e^{iθ} φSo, equating both sides:-∂θ/∂t e^{iθ} φ + i e^{iθ} ∂φ/∂t = - [ (∂²θ/∂x² + (∂θ/∂x)^2 ) e^{iθ} φ + 2 i ∂θ/∂x ∂φ/∂x e^{iθ} + e^{iθ} ∂²φ/∂x² ] + sin(x) e^{iθ} φ + g |φ|² e^{iθ} φDivide both sides by e^{iθ}:-∂θ/∂t φ + i ∂φ/∂t = - [ (∂²θ/∂x² + (∂θ/∂x)^2 ) φ + 2 i ∂θ/∂x ∂φ/∂x + ∂²φ/∂x² ] + sin(x) φ + g |φ|² φNow, let's choose θ such that the potential term is canceled. Let me see.If I set θ such that:- [ (∂²θ/∂x² + (∂θ/∂x)^2 ) ] = sin(x)But that's a non-linear ODE for θ. Maybe difficult to solve.Alternatively, perhaps choose θ(t, x) such that ∂θ/∂x = something to cancel the potential.Wait, perhaps set ∂θ/∂x = something. Let me think.Alternatively, maybe set θ(t, x) = ∫ sin(x) dx, but that would be -cos(x). Let's try θ(x) = -cos(x). Then ∂θ/∂x = sin(x), ∂²θ/∂x² = cos(x).So, let's compute:- [ (∂²θ/∂x² + (∂θ/∂x)^2 ) ] = - [ cos(x) + sin²(x) ].Hmm, that's not equal to sin(x). So that doesn't help.Alternatively, maybe set θ such that ∂²θ/∂x² = something.Wait, maybe this approach is not helpful. Let me think differently.Alternatively, maybe consider looking for solutions where ψ is a plane wave, but that might not work because of the potential.Alternatively, maybe consider the case where ψ is a standing wave, like ψ(t, x) = e^{-iωt} f(x), where f(x) is real. Then, plugging into the equation:i (-iω) f = -f'' + sin(x) f + g f³Simplify:ω f = -f'' + sin(x) f + g f³So, -f'' + (sin(x) - ω) f + g f³ = 0This is a non-linear ODE. It's similar to the sine-Gordon equation but in one dimension. I'm not sure about the existence of bounded solutions here.Alternatively, maybe consider perturbation methods. Suppose that g is small, then we can treat the non-linear term as a perturbation.Alternatively, maybe consider the case where g is positive or negative. The sign of g affects the stability of solutions.Wait, in the context of NLSE, when g is positive, it's a focusing non-linearity, which can lead to soliton solutions. When g is negative, it's defocusing, which usually doesn't allow solitons.So, if g is positive, maybe we can have bounded solutions.Alternatively, maybe use variational methods. Assume that the solution has a certain form and minimize the energy functional.Alternatively, maybe use the fact that the equation is Hamiltonian and look for conserved quantities.Wait, the equation is:i ∂ψ/∂t = H ψ + g |ψ|² ψWhere H is the linear operator -∂²/∂x² + sin(x). So, it's a Hamiltonian system with an additional non-linear term.The energy functional would be something like:E = ∫ [ |ψ_x|² + V(x)|ψ|² + (g/2)|ψ|⁴ ] dxBut I'm not sure how to use this to show existence.Alternatively, maybe consider the case where ψ is a traveling wave, ψ(t, x) = e^{i(kx - ωt)} φ(x). But with the potential sin(x), it's not clear.Wait, maybe another approach: consider the case where ψ is a standing wave, as before, and look for solutions where f(x) is periodic. Since V(x) is periodic, maybe we can have solutions that are also periodic.Alternatively, maybe use Floquet theory, which is used for linear differential equations with periodic coefficients. But this is a non-linear equation, so Floquet theory might not apply directly.Alternatively, maybe consider the case where ψ is a cnoidal wave or something similar, but I'm not sure.Alternatively, maybe look for solutions in terms of elliptic functions. But that might be complicated.Alternatively, maybe use numerical methods to see if such solutions exist, but since this is a theoretical problem, I need to find an analytical approach.Alternatively, maybe consider the case where g=0, which gives the linear Schrödinger equation. As I thought earlier, the solutions are Bloch waves, which are not bounded in the sense of decaying, but are bounded in amplitude. So, if we can show that for g≠0, the solutions remain bounded, that might help.Alternatively, maybe use the fact that the non-linear term can provide a restoring force that balances the potential.Alternatively, maybe consider the case where ψ is small, so that the non-linear term is negligible, and then see if the linear solutions can be extended to the non-linear case.Alternatively, maybe use a fixed point theorem, like the Banach fixed point theorem, to show that the solution exists in some function space.Alternatively, maybe use the implicit function theorem, treating g as a small parameter.Alternatively, maybe consider the equation as a perturbation of the linear equation.Alternatively, maybe use the fact that the equation is time-translation invariant and look for solutions in Fourier space.Wait, another thought: the equation is similar to the sine-Gordon equation, which has soliton solutions. But sine-Gordon is a different equation, though.Alternatively, maybe consider the case where ψ is real, so that the equation becomes:i ∂ψ/∂t = -ψ'' + sin(x) ψ + g ψ³But since ψ is real, the left-hand side is purely imaginary, while the right-hand side is real. So, this would imply that ψ must be zero, which is trivial. So, ψ cannot be real. So, ψ must have both real and imaginary parts.Alternatively, maybe consider ψ as a complex function and separate into real and imaginary parts.Let me write ψ = u + iv, where u and v are real functions. Then, the equation becomes:i (u_t + iv_t) = - (u_xx + iv_xx) + sin(x)(u + iv) + g (u² + v²)(u + iv)Multiply out:i u_t - v_t = -u_xx - i v_xx + sin(x) u + i sin(x) v + g (u³ + u v² + u v² + v³ i)Wait, let me compute the right-hand side:- (u_xx + iv_xx) = -u_xx - i v_xxsin(x)(u + iv) = sin(x) u + i sin(x) vg |ψ|² ψ = g (u² + v²)(u + iv) = g (u³ + u v²) + i g (u² v + v³)So, combining all terms:- u_xx - i v_xx + sin(x) u + i sin(x) v + g (u³ + u v²) + i g (u² v + v³)Now, equate real and imaginary parts:Real part: -u_xx + sin(x) u + g (u³ + u v²)Imaginary part: -v_xx + sin(x) v + g (u² v + v³)The left-hand side is:i u_t - v_t = -v_t + i u_tSo, equating real and imaginary parts:Real: -v_t = -u_xx + sin(x) u + g (u³ + u v²)Imaginary: u_t = -v_xx + sin(x) v + g (u² v + v³)So, we have a system of two PDEs:1. -v_t = -u_xx + sin(x) u + g (u³ + u v²)2. u_t = -v_xx + sin(x) v + g (u² v + v³)Hmm, this seems complicated. Maybe not helpful.Alternatively, maybe consider looking for solutions where u and v are related in some way, like u = v or something, but I don't know.Alternatively, maybe consider symmetric solutions, like u(x) = v(x), but not sure.Alternatively, maybe consider the case where u is even and v is odd, or something like that.Alternatively, maybe consider a solution where ψ(t, x) = e^{-iωt} φ(x), as I thought earlier, and then look for φ(x) that satisfies the ODE.So, going back to that, the equation is:-φ'' + sin(x) φ + g |φ|² φ - ω φ = 0Which is:φ'' + (ω - sin(x) - g |φ|²) φ = 0This is a non-linear ODE. It's similar to the Mathieu equation but with a non-linear term.I know that for the linear case (g=0), the solutions are Bloch functions, which are not bounded in the sense of decaying, but are bounded in amplitude. So, if we can show that for small g, the solutions remain bounded, that might help.Alternatively, maybe use a Lyapunov function or something to show that the solutions don't blow up.Alternatively, maybe consider the energy functional and show that it's bounded, which would imply that ψ remains bounded.Alternatively, maybe use a priori estimates. Suppose that ψ is a solution, then we can derive bounds on ψ.Alternatively, maybe use the fact that the equation is Hamiltonian and look for conserved quantities.Wait, let me think about the energy. The energy is:E = ∫ [ |ψ_x|² + V(x)|ψ|² + (g/2)|ψ|⁴ ] dxSince V(x) = sin(x), which is bounded between -1 and 1, and assuming ψ is bounded, then E is finite.But I'm not sure how to use this to show that ψ remains bounded.Alternatively, maybe use the Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequality to relate the L^4 norm to the H^1 norm.But I'm not sure.Alternatively, maybe consider the case where ψ is a standing wave and use the fact that the non-linear term can provide a balance.Alternatively, maybe use the fact that for the NLSE with a periodic potential, there exist localized solutions called gap solitons. I think that's a thing.Yes, gap solitons are solutions of the NLSE in periodic potentials that are localized in space. They exist in the gaps of the linear spectrum. So, maybe in this case, with V(x)=sin(x), which is a periodic potential, there exist gap solitons, which are bounded solutions.Therefore, I think that such non-trivial bounded solutions do exist.As for the second part, the philosopher is questioning the precision of mathematical constants like π in physics. Specifically, considering a perturbation ε in π, using π + ε instead of π, and analyzing the effect on the wave equation:∂²u/∂t² = c² ∂²u/∂x²The dispersion relation for the wave equation is ω = c k, where ω is the angular frequency and k is the wave number.If we perturb π, how does it affect the solutions? Well, in the wave equation, π appears in the solutions as part of the trigonometric functions. For example, plane wave solutions are typically written as u(t, x) = A sin(kx - ωt + φ), where k = 2π/λ and ω = 2π f.If we replace π with π + ε, then the wave number becomes k = 2(π + ε)/λ, and the frequency becomes ω = 2(π + ε) f.The phase velocity is c = ω/k = [2(π + ε) f] / [2(π + ε)/λ] ] = f λ. Wait, that's just c, so the phase velocity remains the same.Wait, but if we change π to π + ε, then the relation between frequency and wave number changes. Let me think.Suppose we have a wave solution u(t, x) = sin(kx - ωt). The dispersion relation is ω = c k.If we replace π with π + ε, then the wavenumber k would be scaled by a factor of (π + ε)/π, and similarly for the frequency ω.Wait, actually, if we define k = (2π + 2ε)/λ, then k = 2(π + ε)/λ. Similarly, ω = 2(π + ε) f.But the phase velocity is ω/k = [2(π + ε) f] / [2(π + ε)/λ] ] = f λ, which is c. So, the phase velocity remains the same.Wait, but that seems counterintuitive. If we change π, wouldn't it affect the wavelength and frequency?Wait, maybe not, because π is just a constant in the trigonometric functions. The key is that the ratio ω/k remains c, so the phase velocity is unchanged.But wait, if we redefine π as π + ε, then the actual wavelength and frequency would change, but the phase velocity would still be c.Wait, let me think again. Suppose we have a wave with wavelength λ and frequency f. The phase velocity is c = λ f.If we redefine π as π + ε, then the wavenumber k becomes k = 2(π + ε)/λ, and the angular frequency ω = 2(π + ε) f.Then, ω/k = [2(π + ε) f] / [2(π + ε)/λ] ] = f λ = c. So, the phase velocity is still c.Therefore, the phase velocity remains unchanged. However, the actual wavelength and frequency would be scaled by the factor (π + ε)/π.Wait, but in the wave equation, the solutions are determined by the dispersion relation ω = c k. If we redefine π, it's just a change in the units or scaling of k and ω, but the relationship ω = c k remains the same.Therefore, the phase velocity is unaffected. However, the group velocity, which is dω/dk, would also remain the same, since dω/dk = c.Wait, but if we redefine π, it's just a change in the way we measure angles, not a physical change. So, physically, the wave's behavior doesn't change, but the mathematical representation does.Therefore, the perturbation ε in π would not affect the physical phase velocity or group velocity, but would change the way we express the solutions in terms of trigonometric functions.So, in summary, a slight perturbation ε in π would not change the phase velocity of the wave solutions, but would affect the mathematical expressions of the solutions by scaling the wavenumber and frequency by (π + ε)/π.But wait, actually, if we use π + ε instead of π, then the trigonometric functions would have a slightly different period. For example, sin(kx - ωt) would have a period of 2π/(k) in x and 2π/ω in t. If we replace π with π + ε, then the periods would become 2(π + ε)/k and 2(π + ε)/ω, respectively.But since ω = c k, the periods would scale accordingly, but the phase velocity remains c.Therefore, the main effect is a change in the scaling of the trigonometric functions, but the physical properties like phase velocity remain the same.So, in conclusion, the phase velocity is unaffected, but the mathematical expressions of the solutions are scaled by the perturbation ε in π.</think>
question:An emotional memoir author, Emily, finds solace in listening to the stories of the older generation. She records these stories to preserve them for future generations. Emily has noticed that each story follows a specific pattern in its narrative structure, which can be modeled using advanced mathematical functions.1. Emily categorizes each story into chapters, and she finds that the emotional intensity ( E(t) ) of each chapter over time ( t ) can be modeled by the differential equation:[ frac{dE(t)}{dt} = -kE(t) + f(t) ]where ( k ) is a constant representing the rate of emotional decay, and ( f(t) ) is a continuous function representing external emotional stimuli. Given that ( f(t) = sin(t) ) and the initial emotional intensity ( E(0) = E_0 ), solve for ( E(t) ).2. Emily also observes that the length ( L ) of each story is proportional to the cumulative emotional impact ( I ) of the story, where ( I ) is given by:[ I = int_0^T E(t) , dt ]If the total time ( T ) for a story to be told is such that ( int_0^T sin(t) , dt = 1 ), express the length ( L ) of the story in terms of ( E_0 ) and ( k ).
answer:<think>Alright, so I've got this problem about Emily and her emotional memoir. It's divided into two parts, both involving differential equations and integrals. Let me try to tackle them step by step.Starting with the first part: Emily models the emotional intensity ( E(t) ) with the differential equation ( frac{dE(t)}{dt} = -kE(t) + f(t) ), where ( f(t) = sin(t) ) and the initial condition is ( E(0) = E_0 ). I need to solve this differential equation for ( E(t) ).Hmm, okay. This looks like a linear first-order differential equation. The standard form for such equations is ( frac{dy}{dt} + P(t)y = Q(t) ). Comparing that to our equation, I can rewrite it as:( frac{dE}{dt} + kE = sin(t) )So here, ( P(t) = k ) and ( Q(t) = sin(t) ). To solve this, I should use an integrating factor. The integrating factor ( mu(t) ) is given by ( e^{int P(t) dt} ).Calculating the integrating factor:( mu(t) = e^{int k , dt} = e^{kt} )Now, multiply both sides of the differential equation by ( mu(t) ):( e^{kt} frac{dE}{dt} + k e^{kt} E = e^{kt} sin(t) )The left side of this equation should now be the derivative of ( E(t) mu(t) ), which is:( frac{d}{dt} [E(t) e^{kt}] = e^{kt} sin(t) )To solve for ( E(t) ), I need to integrate both sides with respect to ( t ):( int frac{d}{dt} [E(t) e^{kt}] dt = int e^{kt} sin(t) dt )So, the left side simplifies to ( E(t) e^{kt} ). The right side is an integral that I might need to solve using integration by parts or look up a formula for.I remember that the integral ( int e^{at} sin(bt) dt ) can be solved using a standard technique. Let me recall the formula. I think it's:( int e^{at} sin(bt) dt = frac{e^{at}}{a^2 + b^2} (a sin(bt) - b cos(bt)) ) + C )In our case, ( a = k ) and ( b = 1 ). So plugging those in:( int e^{kt} sin(t) dt = frac{e^{kt}}{k^2 + 1} (k sin(t) - cos(t)) ) + C )Therefore, putting it back into our equation:( E(t) e^{kt} = frac{e^{kt}}{k^2 + 1} (k sin(t) - cos(t)) ) + C )Now, to solve for ( E(t) ), divide both sides by ( e^{kt} ):( E(t) = frac{1}{k^2 + 1} (k sin(t) - cos(t)) ) + C e^{-kt} )Now, apply the initial condition ( E(0) = E_0 ). Let's plug in ( t = 0 ):( E(0) = frac{1}{k^2 + 1} (k sin(0) - cos(0)) ) + C e^{0} )Simplify the terms:( E_0 = frac{1}{k^2 + 1} (0 - 1) + C )( E_0 = -frac{1}{k^2 + 1} + C )Solving for ( C ):( C = E_0 + frac{1}{k^2 + 1} )So, plugging this back into the expression for ( E(t) ):( E(t) = frac{1}{k^2 + 1} (k sin(t) - cos(t)) + left( E_0 + frac{1}{k^2 + 1} right) e^{-kt} )I can write this as:( E(t) = frac{k sin(t) - cos(t)}{k^2 + 1} + E_0 e^{-kt} + frac{e^{-kt}}{k^2 + 1} )Alternatively, combining the last two terms:( E(t) = frac{k sin(t) - cos(t)}{k^2 + 1} + left( E_0 + frac{1}{k^2 + 1} right) e^{-kt} )I think that's the general solution. Let me just double-check my integrating factor and the integration steps. The integrating factor was correct, and the integral of ( e^{kt} sin(t) ) was done using the standard formula, which seems right. Applying the initial condition also looks correct. So, I think this is the correct expression for ( E(t) ).Moving on to the second part: Emily observes that the length ( L ) of each story is proportional to the cumulative emotional impact ( I ), which is given by ( I = int_0^T E(t) dt ). We need to express ( L ) in terms of ( E_0 ) and ( k ), given that ( int_0^T sin(t) dt = 1 ).First, let me note that ( I = int_0^T E(t) dt ), and ( L ) is proportional to ( I ). So, ( L = cI ) for some constant ( c ). But since the problem doesn't specify the constant of proportionality, I think we just need to express ( I ) in terms of ( E_0 ) and ( k ), and then ( L ) would be proportional to that expression.But wait, the problem says "express the length ( L ) of the story in terms of ( E_0 ) and ( k )". So, maybe ( L ) is directly equal to ( I ), or perhaps ( L ) is proportional with a constant that might be absorbed into the expression. Hmm, the problem doesn't specify the constant, so perhaps we just need to compute ( I ) and express it in terms of ( E_0 ) and ( k ).Given that ( int_0^T sin(t) dt = 1 ), let me compute that integral first to find ( T ).Compute ( int_0^T sin(t) dt ):( int sin(t) dt = -cos(t) + C )So,( int_0^T sin(t) dt = -cos(T) + cos(0) = -cos(T) + 1 )Given that this equals 1:( -cos(T) + 1 = 1 )( -cos(T) = 0 )( cos(T) = 0 )So, ( T = frac{pi}{2} + npi ), where ( n ) is an integer. Since time ( T ) is positive, the smallest positive solution is ( T = frac{pi}{2} ). So, ( T = frac{pi}{2} ).Now, we need to compute ( I = int_0^{pi/2} E(t) dt ). From part 1, we have the expression for ( E(t) ):( E(t) = frac{k sin(t) - cos(t)}{k^2 + 1} + left( E_0 + frac{1}{k^2 + 1} right) e^{-kt} )So, ( I = int_0^{pi/2} left[ frac{k sin(t) - cos(t)}{k^2 + 1} + left( E_0 + frac{1}{k^2 + 1} right) e^{-kt} right] dt )Let me split this integral into two parts:( I = frac{1}{k^2 + 1} int_0^{pi/2} (k sin(t) - cos(t)) dt + left( E_0 + frac{1}{k^2 + 1} right) int_0^{pi/2} e^{-kt} dt )Compute each integral separately.First integral: ( I_1 = int_0^{pi/2} (k sin(t) - cos(t)) dt )Compute term by term:( int k sin(t) dt = -k cos(t) )( int -cos(t) dt = -sin(t) )So,( I_1 = [ -k cos(t) - sin(t) ]_0^{pi/2} )Evaluate at ( pi/2 ):( -k cos(pi/2) - sin(pi/2) = -k(0) - 1 = -1 )Evaluate at 0:( -k cos(0) - sin(0) = -k(1) - 0 = -k )So,( I_1 = (-1) - (-k) = -1 + k )So, ( I_1 = k - 1 )Second integral: ( I_2 = int_0^{pi/2} e^{-kt} dt )Compute:( int e^{-kt} dt = -frac{1}{k} e^{-kt} + C )So,( I_2 = left[ -frac{1}{k} e^{-kt} right]_0^{pi/2} = -frac{1}{k} e^{-k pi/2} + frac{1}{k} e^{0} = -frac{1}{k} e^{-k pi/2} + frac{1}{k} )Simplify:( I_2 = frac{1}{k} (1 - e^{-k pi/2}) )Now, putting it all back into ( I ):( I = frac{1}{k^2 + 1} (k - 1) + left( E_0 + frac{1}{k^2 + 1} right) cdot frac{1}{k} (1 - e^{-k pi/2}) )Let me expand this:( I = frac{k - 1}{k^2 + 1} + frac{E_0}{k} (1 - e^{-k pi/2}) + frac{1}{k(k^2 + 1)} (1 - e^{-k pi/2}) )Combine the last two terms:( I = frac{k - 1}{k^2 + 1} + frac{E_0}{k} (1 - e^{-k pi/2}) + frac{1 - e^{-k pi/2}}{k(k^2 + 1)} )Factor out ( (1 - e^{-k pi/2}) ) from the last two terms:( I = frac{k - 1}{k^2 + 1} + left( frac{E_0}{k} + frac{1}{k(k^2 + 1)} right) (1 - e^{-k pi/2}) )Alternatively, factor ( frac{1}{k} ) from the terms:( I = frac{k - 1}{k^2 + 1} + frac{1}{k} left( E_0 + frac{1}{k^2 + 1} right) (1 - e^{-k pi/2}) )Hmm, this seems a bit complicated. Maybe I can simplify it further.Let me write the entire expression again:( I = frac{k - 1}{k^2 + 1} + frac{E_0}{k} (1 - e^{-k pi/2}) + frac{1}{k(k^2 + 1)} (1 - e^{-k pi/2}) )Notice that the last two terms have a common factor of ( frac{1}{k} (1 - e^{-k pi/2}) ). So, factoring that out:( I = frac{k - 1}{k^2 + 1} + frac{1}{k} (1 - e^{-k pi/2}) left( E_0 + frac{1}{k^2 + 1} right) )Alternatively, we can write:( I = frac{k - 1}{k^2 + 1} + frac{(E_0 (k^2 + 1) + 1)}{k(k^2 + 1)} (1 - e^{-k pi/2}) )But this might not necessarily be simpler. Maybe it's better to leave it as is.So, putting it all together, ( I ) is expressed in terms of ( E_0 ) and ( k ). Since ( L ) is proportional to ( I ), and the problem asks to express ( L ) in terms of ( E_0 ) and ( k ), I think this expression for ( I ) is sufficient, assuming the constant of proportionality is absorbed or perhaps it's just equal to ( I ).But wait, the problem says "the length ( L ) of each story is proportional to the cumulative emotional impact ( I )", so ( L = cI ) where ( c ) is a constant. However, since the problem doesn't specify ( c ), I think we can just express ( L ) as ( I ), or perhaps it's implied that ( L = I ). Alternatively, maybe ( L ) is equal to ( I ) because it's proportional, but without knowing the constant, we can't write it as a multiple. Hmm.Wait, the problem says "express the length ( L ) of the story in terms of ( E_0 ) and ( k )". So, since ( L ) is proportional to ( I ), and ( I ) is given in terms of ( E_0 ) and ( k ), we can write ( L ) as a multiple of ( I ), but since the constant isn't given, perhaps we just express ( L ) as equal to ( I ), or perhaps the constant is 1. Alternatively, maybe the problem expects us to express ( L ) in terms of ( I ), but since ( I ) is already in terms of ( E_0 ) and ( k ), that's the expression.Wait, looking back at the problem statement: "the length ( L ) of each story is proportional to the cumulative emotional impact ( I )", so ( L = cI ). But since we don't know ( c ), perhaps we can just express ( L ) as ( I ), or perhaps the problem expects us to write ( L ) in terms of ( I ), but since ( I ) is computed, we can write ( L ) as that expression.Alternatively, maybe the problem expects us to express ( L ) without the integral, so perhaps we can write ( L ) as the expression we found for ( I ), which is in terms of ( E_0 ) and ( k ).So, summarizing, ( L ) is proportional to ( I ), which is:( I = frac{k - 1}{k^2 + 1} + frac{E_0}{k} (1 - e^{-k pi/2}) + frac{1}{k(k^2 + 1)} (1 - e^{-k pi/2}) )But perhaps we can factor out ( (1 - e^{-k pi/2}) ) from the last two terms:( I = frac{k - 1}{k^2 + 1} + left( frac{E_0}{k} + frac{1}{k(k^2 + 1)} right) (1 - e^{-k pi/2}) )Alternatively, combining the constants:Let me compute ( frac{E_0}{k} + frac{1}{k(k^2 + 1)} ):( frac{E_0}{k} + frac{1}{k(k^2 + 1)} = frac{E_0 (k^2 + 1) + 1}{k(k^2 + 1)} )So,( I = frac{k - 1}{k^2 + 1} + frac{E_0 (k^2 + 1) + 1}{k(k^2 + 1)} (1 - e^{-k pi/2}) )This seems as simplified as it can get. So, unless there's a further simplification, this is the expression for ( I ), and hence ( L ) is proportional to this.But wait, let me check if I made any mistakes in the integration. Let me go back to computing ( I ):( I = int_0^{pi/2} E(t) dt )We had ( E(t) = frac{k sin(t) - cos(t)}{k^2 + 1} + left( E_0 + frac{1}{k^2 + 1} right) e^{-kt} )So, integrating term by term:First term: ( frac{k sin(t) - cos(t)}{k^2 + 1} )Integral:( frac{1}{k^2 + 1} int (k sin(t) - cos(t)) dt = frac{1}{k^2 + 1} [ -k cos(t) - sin(t) ] ) evaluated from 0 to ( pi/2 )At ( pi/2 ): ( -k cos(pi/2) - sin(pi/2) = 0 - 1 = -1 )At 0: ( -k cos(0) - sin(0) = -k - 0 = -k )So, the integral is ( frac{1}{k^2 + 1} (-1 - (-k)) = frac{k - 1}{k^2 + 1} ). That's correct.Second term: ( left( E_0 + frac{1}{k^2 + 1} right) e^{-kt} )Integral:( left( E_0 + frac{1}{k^2 + 1} right) int e^{-kt} dt = left( E_0 + frac{1}{k^2 + 1} right) left( -frac{1}{k} e^{-kt} right) ) evaluated from 0 to ( pi/2 )At ( pi/2 ): ( -frac{1}{k} e^{-k pi/2} )At 0: ( -frac{1}{k} e^{0} = -frac{1}{k} )So, the integral is ( left( E_0 + frac{1}{k^2 + 1} right) left( -frac{1}{k} e^{-k pi/2} + frac{1}{k} right) = left( E_0 + frac{1}{k^2 + 1} right) cdot frac{1 - e^{-k pi/2}}{k} ). That's correct.So, combining both integrals, we get the expression for ( I ) as above. So, I think my calculations are correct.Therefore, the length ( L ) is proportional to this ( I ), so ( L = cI ), but since the constant ( c ) isn't given, I think the answer expects us to express ( L ) in terms of ( E_0 ) and ( k ) as we've found ( I ).So, putting it all together, ( L ) is:( L = frac{k - 1}{k^2 + 1} + frac{E_0 (k^2 + 1) + 1}{k(k^2 + 1)} (1 - e^{-k pi/2}) )Alternatively, factoring out ( frac{1}{k(k^2 + 1)} ):( L = frac{k - 1}{k^2 + 1} + frac{E_0 (k^2 + 1) + 1}{k(k^2 + 1)} (1 - e^{-k pi/2}) )But perhaps we can write it as:( L = frac{k - 1}{k^2 + 1} + frac{E_0 + frac{1}{k^2 + 1}}{k} (1 - e^{-k pi/2}) )Which is the same as:( L = frac{k - 1}{k^2 + 1} + frac{E_0}{k} (1 - e^{-k pi/2}) + frac{1}{k(k^2 + 1)} (1 - e^{-k pi/2}) )I think this is as simplified as it can get. So, this is the expression for ( L ) in terms of ( E_0 ) and ( k ).Wait, but let me think again. The problem says "the length ( L ) of each story is proportional to the cumulative emotional impact ( I )", so ( L = cI ). But since we don't know ( c ), perhaps the answer is just ( I ), which is the cumulative impact. So, maybe ( L = I ), meaning ( L ) is equal to that expression. Alternatively, if ( L ) is proportional, we can write ( L = kI ), but that would be confusing with the constant ( k ). Maybe the problem expects us to express ( L ) as ( I ), so ( L = ) [expression].Alternatively, perhaps the problem expects us to express ( L ) in terms of ( E_0 ) and ( k ) without the integral, so the expression we found is the answer.In any case, I think the expression I've derived is correct, so I'll present it as the answer.Final Answer1. The emotional intensity is given by ( boxed{E(t) = frac{k sin(t) - cos(t)}{k^2 + 1} + left( E_0 + frac{1}{k^2 + 1} right) e^{-kt}} ).2. The length of the story is ( boxed{L = frac{k - 1}{k^2 + 1} + frac{E_0 (k^2 + 1) + 1}{k(k^2 + 1)} left(1 - e^{-frac{kpi}{2}}right)} ).</think>
question:An equestrian coach is training a horse to improve its jumping performance. The performance of the horse during training sessions is modeled using a combination of exponential and trigonometric functions due to the periodic nature of the training cycles and the growth in the horse's skill over time.1. The height ( h(t) ) of the horse's jump at time ( t ) (in weeks) is given by the function:[ h(t) = A e^{kt} sin(omega t + phi) + B ]where ( A ), ( k ), ( omega ), ( phi ), and ( B ) are constants representing various factors such as the initial amplitude of the jumps, the growth rate of the horse's skill, the frequency of the training cycles, the phase shift, and a constant offset respectively.Given the following initial conditions:- At ( t = 0 ), the height of the jump is 1.5 meters.- After 3 weeks, the horse's jump height reaches 2.5 meters.- The periodic nature of the training suggests a frequency corresponding to a weekly cycle.Determine the constants ( A ), ( k ), ( omega ), ( phi ), and ( B ) that fit the given conditions.2. Once the constants are determined, calculate the maximum height of the horse's jump within the first 6 weeks of training.
answer:<think>Okay, so I have this problem about modeling a horse's jumping performance using a combination of exponential and trigonometric functions. The function given is:[ h(t) = A e^{kt} sin(omega t + phi) + B ]And I need to find the constants ( A ), ( k ), ( omega ), ( phi ), and ( B ) based on the initial conditions provided. Then, I have to calculate the maximum height within the first 6 weeks.Let me start by listing the given information:1. At ( t = 0 ), ( h(0) = 1.5 ) meters.2. After 3 weeks, ( h(3) = 2.5 ) meters.3. The training has a periodic nature corresponding to a weekly cycle, so the frequency is related to a weekly cycle.First, I need to figure out what each constant represents:- ( A ): Amplitude of the sine wave, which affects the height variation.- ( k ): Growth rate, which makes the amplitude increase exponentially over time.- ( omega ): Angular frequency, which relates to the periodicity of the training cycles.- ( phi ): Phase shift, which shifts the sine wave left or right.- ( B ): Constant offset, which is the baseline height.Given that the training has a periodic nature corresponding to a weekly cycle, I think that means the period ( T ) is 1 week. The angular frequency ( omega ) is related to the period by ( omega = frac{2pi}{T} ). Since ( T = 1 ), ( omega = 2pi ). So, I can write that down:[ omega = 2pi ]So, that's one constant found.Next, let's use the initial condition at ( t = 0 ):[ h(0) = A e^{k cdot 0} sin(omega cdot 0 + phi) + B = 1.5 ]Simplify this:Since ( e^{0} = 1 ), this becomes:[ A sin(phi) + B = 1.5 ]So, equation (1):[ A sin(phi) + B = 1.5 ]Now, the second condition is at ( t = 3 ):[ h(3) = A e^{k cdot 3} sin(omega cdot 3 + phi) + B = 2.5 ]Simplify:[ A e^{3k} sin(3omega + phi) + B = 2.5 ]But we already know ( omega = 2pi ), so:[ A e^{3k} sin(6pi + phi) + B = 2.5 ]Wait, ( sin(6pi + phi) ). Since sine has a period of ( 2pi ), ( sin(6pi + phi) = sin(phi) ). Because 6π is 3 full periods, so it's the same as sin(φ). So, this simplifies to:[ A e^{3k} sin(phi) + B = 2.5 ]So, equation (2):[ A e^{3k} sin(phi) + B = 2.5 ]Now, we have two equations:1. ( A sin(phi) + B = 1.5 )2. ( A e^{3k} sin(phi) + B = 2.5 )Let me subtract equation (1) from equation (2):[ (A e^{3k} sin(phi) + B) - (A sin(phi) + B) = 2.5 - 1.5 ]Simplify:[ A sin(phi) (e^{3k} - 1) = 1 ]So,[ A sin(phi) = frac{1}{e^{3k} - 1} ]But from equation (1), ( A sin(phi) = 1.5 - B ). So,[ 1.5 - B = frac{1}{e^{3k} - 1} ]Hmm, so that's another equation. Let me write that down:Equation (3):[ 1.5 - B = frac{1}{e^{3k} - 1} ]So, now I have equation (3) and equation (1). But I still need more information to solve for these variables. Let me think about what else I can use.I know that the sine function oscillates between -1 and 1, so the term ( A e^{kt} sin(omega t + phi) ) will oscillate between ( -A e^{kt} ) and ( A e^{kt} ). Therefore, the height ( h(t) ) will oscillate between ( B - A e^{kt} ) and ( B + A e^{kt} ).But without more conditions, it's a bit tricky. Maybe I need to assume something about the phase shift ( phi ). If I can assume that at ( t = 0 ), the sine function is at its maximum or minimum, that might help. But the problem doesn't specify that. So, perhaps I need another approach.Wait, maybe the maximum height occurs when the sine function is at its peak, so ( sin(omega t + phi) = 1 ). So, the maximum height at any time ( t ) is ( A e^{kt} + B ). Similarly, the minimum height is ( -A e^{kt} + B ).But since we have only two points given, maybe I can consider that at ( t = 0 ), the height is 1.5, which could be either a maximum, minimum, or somewhere in between. Similarly, at ( t = 3 ), the height is 2.5.But without more information, it's difficult to know. Maybe I can make an assumption here. Let me suppose that at ( t = 0 ), the sine function is at its maximum. So, ( sin(phi) = 1 ). Therefore, ( phi = frac{pi}{2} ) (since sine of π/2 is 1). Let me test this assumption.If ( phi = frac{pi}{2} ), then equation (1):[ A sinleft(frac{pi}{2}right) + B = 1.5 implies A(1) + B = 1.5 implies A + B = 1.5 ]Equation (2):[ A e^{3k} sinleft(6pi + frac{pi}{2}right) + B = 2.5 ]But ( sin(6pi + frac{pi}{2}) = sin(frac{pi}{2}) = 1 ), so:[ A e^{3k} + B = 2.5 ]So, now we have two equations:1. ( A + B = 1.5 )2. ( A e^{3k} + B = 2.5 )Subtract equation (1) from equation (2):[ A e^{3k} + B - A - B = 2.5 - 1.5 ][ A (e^{3k} - 1) = 1 ][ A = frac{1}{e^{3k} - 1} ]So, from equation (1):[ frac{1}{e^{3k} - 1} + B = 1.5 ][ B = 1.5 - frac{1}{e^{3k} - 1} ]Hmm, so now I have expressions for A and B in terms of k. But I still need another equation to solve for k.Wait, perhaps I can use the fact that the sine function has a period of 1 week, so the function h(t) will oscillate with a period of 1 week, but the exponential term is causing the amplitude to grow over time.But with only two points, maybe I need another condition. Alternatively, perhaps the maximum height at t=3 is 2.5, which could be a peak. If that's the case, then at t=3, the sine function is also at its maximum. So, if ( sin(6pi + phi) = 1 ), which is consistent with our earlier assumption because ( phi = pi/2 ).But wait, if the period is 1 week, then at t=3, it's 3 periods later, so the sine function would have completed 3 cycles and would be back to the same phase as t=0. So, if at t=0, it's at maximum, then at t=3, it's also at maximum. So, that's consistent.Therefore, our assumption that ( phi = pi/2 ) is valid, because it makes both t=0 and t=3 at maximum points.So, with that, we have:1. ( A + B = 1.5 )2. ( A e^{3k} + B = 2.5 )3. ( A = frac{1}{e^{3k} - 1} )4. ( B = 1.5 - frac{1}{e^{3k} - 1} )So, let me substitute equation (3) into equation (1):[ frac{1}{e^{3k} - 1} + B = 1.5 ][ B = 1.5 - frac{1}{e^{3k} - 1} ]Which is equation (4). Now, let's substitute equation (3) into equation (2):[ frac{1}{e^{3k} - 1} e^{3k} + B = 2.5 ][ frac{e^{3k}}{e^{3k} - 1} + B = 2.5 ]But from equation (4), ( B = 1.5 - frac{1}{e^{3k} - 1} ). So, substitute that into the equation:[ frac{e^{3k}}{e^{3k} - 1} + 1.5 - frac{1}{e^{3k} - 1} = 2.5 ]Combine the terms:[ left( frac{e^{3k} - 1}{e^{3k} - 1} right) + 1.5 = 2.5 ][ 1 + 1.5 = 2.5 ][ 2.5 = 2.5 ]Wait, that's just an identity, which means our equations are consistent but don't help us find k. Hmm, so I need another approach.Perhaps I need to consider the derivative of h(t) to find the maximum points, but since we don't have information about the maximums except at t=0 and t=3, which we assumed are peaks, maybe I can use that.Alternatively, maybe I can express A and B in terms of k and then find k such that the function behaves as expected.Wait, let me think differently. Let me denote ( C = e^{3k} ). Then, from equation (3):[ A = frac{1}{C - 1} ]From equation (1):[ A + B = 1.5 implies B = 1.5 - A = 1.5 - frac{1}{C - 1} ]From equation (2):[ A C + B = 2.5 ]Substitute A and B:[ frac{C}{C - 1} + 1.5 - frac{1}{C - 1} = 2.5 ]Combine the terms:[ frac{C - 1}{C - 1} + 1.5 = 2.5 ][ 1 + 1.5 = 2.5 ][ 2.5 = 2.5 ]Again, same result. So, this suggests that our equations are dependent, and we can't solve for k directly from these. Therefore, we need another condition or perhaps make another assumption.Wait, maybe the minimum height occurs at some point, but we don't have that information. Alternatively, perhaps the function is symmetric or something.Alternatively, maybe the growth rate k is such that the exponential term is small compared to the constant term B, but I don't think that's necessarily the case.Wait, let's think about the behavior of the function. At t=0, h=1.5, and at t=3, h=2.5. The exponential term is causing the amplitude to grow. So, the difference between h(3) and h(0) is 1 meter, which is due to both the exponential growth and the sine function.But since at both t=0 and t=3, the sine function is at its maximum (assuming φ=π/2), the difference in h(t) is solely due to the exponential growth of the amplitude.So, h(0) = A + B = 1.5h(3) = A e^{3k} + B = 2.5Subtracting these, we get:A (e^{3k} - 1) = 1Which is the same as before.So, A = 1 / (e^{3k} - 1)And B = 1.5 - A = 1.5 - 1/(e^{3k} - 1)But without another equation, we can't solve for k. Therefore, perhaps we need to make an assumption about the value of k or find another condition.Wait, maybe the function h(t) has a certain behavior, like the maximum height increases exponentially. But without more data points, it's hard to determine k.Alternatively, perhaps the coach wants the horse's jump height to increase by a certain factor over time, but the problem doesn't specify that.Wait, maybe I can express k in terms of A and B, but that might not help.Alternatively, perhaps I can consider the maximum height at t=6 weeks, which is part 2 of the problem. But since part 2 depends on part 1, I need to solve part 1 first.Wait, maybe I can set up a system of equations with the variables A, B, and k, but I only have two equations and three unknowns. So, I need another equation.Wait, perhaps the phase shift φ is zero? But earlier I assumed φ=π/2. Maybe that's not the case.Wait, let's reconsider the initial assumption. Maybe at t=0, the sine function isn't at its maximum. Maybe it's at some other point. So, perhaps I shouldn't assume φ=π/2.Let me go back to the original equations without assuming φ.We have:1. ( A sin(phi) + B = 1.5 ) (from t=0)2. ( A e^{3k} sin(phi) + B = 2.5 ) (from t=3)Subtracting equation 1 from equation 2:[ A e^{3k} sin(phi) - A sin(phi) = 1 ][ A sin(phi) (e^{3k} - 1) = 1 ]So,[ A sin(phi) = frac{1}{e^{3k} - 1} ]From equation 1:[ A sin(phi) + B = 1.5 implies B = 1.5 - frac{1}{e^{3k} - 1} ]So, now, we have expressions for A sin(φ) and B in terms of k. But we still need another equation to solve for k.Wait, perhaps we can use the fact that the sine function has a maximum and minimum, so the maximum height at any time t is ( B + A e^{kt} ), and the minimum is ( B - A e^{kt} ). So, the difference between maximum and minimum heights at time t is ( 2 A e^{kt} ).But without knowing the minimum height at any point, we can't use that.Alternatively, maybe we can consider the derivative of h(t) to find the critical points, but that might complicate things.Wait, perhaps I can consider that the function h(t) is supposed to model the horse's performance, which is increasing over time. So, the exponential term is causing the amplitude to grow, but the sine term is causing oscillations around the baseline B.Given that, perhaps the baseline B is the average height, and the amplitude A e^{kt} is the deviation from that average.But without more data points, it's hard to determine.Wait, maybe I can assume that the growth rate k is such that the exponential term is small over the first 6 weeks, but that's just a guess.Alternatively, perhaps the problem expects us to leave the answer in terms of k, but that seems unlikely.Wait, maybe I can express k in terms of A and B, but I don't see how.Wait, let me think about the maximum height within the first 6 weeks. Maybe the maximum occurs at t=3, which is 2.5 meters, but that might not be the case.Alternatively, maybe the maximum occurs at t=6, but without knowing k, it's hard to say.Wait, perhaps I can consider that the maximum height at t=6 is higher than at t=3, so we can set up another equation, but we don't have that information.Hmm, this is tricky. Maybe I need to make an assumption about k. Let me suppose that the growth rate k is such that the exponential term doubles every 3 weeks. So, e^{3k} = 2. Then, k = ln(2)/3 ≈ 0.231 per week. Let me test this assumption.If e^{3k} = 2, then:From equation (3):[ A sin(phi) = frac{1}{2 - 1} = 1 ]From equation (1):[ A sin(phi) + B = 1.5 implies 1 + B = 1.5 implies B = 0.5 ]From equation (2):[ A e^{3k} sin(phi) + B = 2.5 implies 1 * 2 + 0.5 = 2.5 implies 2.5 = 2.5 ]So, that works. So, if we assume that the amplitude doubles every 3 weeks, then k = ln(2)/3, A sin(φ) = 1, B = 0.5.But does this mean that A = 1 / sin(φ)? Yes, because A sin(φ) = 1.But we still don't know φ. However, since we don't have more information, maybe we can set φ such that sin(φ) = 1, which would make A = 1. So, φ = π/2.So, with that, we have:A = 1k = ln(2)/3ω = 2πφ = π/2B = 0.5Let me check if this satisfies the initial conditions.At t=0:h(0) = 1 * e^{0} * sin(0 + π/2) + 0.5 = 1 * 1 * 1 + 0.5 = 1.5 meters. Correct.At t=3:h(3) = 1 * e^{3*(ln2/3)} * sin(6π + π/2) + 0.5 = 1 * e^{ln2} * sin(π/2) + 0.5 = 2 * 1 + 0.5 = 2.5 meters. Correct.So, this seems to work. Therefore, the constants are:A = 1k = ln(2)/3ω = 2πφ = π/2B = 0.5So, that's part 1 solved.Now, part 2: Calculate the maximum height of the horse's jump within the first 6 weeks of training.The maximum height occurs when the sine function is at its maximum, which is 1. So, the maximum height at any time t is:h_max(t) = A e^{kt} * 1 + B = e^{kt} + BSo, we need to find the maximum value of h_max(t) within t ∈ [0, 6].Since e^{kt} is an increasing function, the maximum h_max(t) will occur at t=6.So, h_max(6) = e^{6k} + BWe have k = ln(2)/3, so:e^{6k} = e^{6*(ln2)/3} = e^{2 ln2} = (e^{ln2})^2 = 2^2 = 4Therefore, h_max(6) = 4 + 0.5 = 4.5 meters.But wait, let me confirm if the maximum within the first 6 weeks is indeed at t=6. Because the sine function could reach 1 multiple times within the interval, but since the amplitude is increasing, each subsequent peak will be higher than the previous one.So, the maximum height will indeed be at t=6, as the amplitude is the largest there.Therefore, the maximum height within the first 6 weeks is 4.5 meters.But let me double-check.Given h(t) = e^{kt} sin(ωt + φ) + BWith k = ln(2)/3, ω = 2π, φ = π/2, B = 0.5So, h(t) = e^{(ln2/3)t} sin(2πt + π/2) + 0.5Simplify sin(2πt + π/2): sin(2πt + π/2) = cos(2πt), because sin(x + π/2) = cos(x).So, h(t) = e^{(ln2/3)t} cos(2πt) + 0.5Now, the maximum of cos(2πt) is 1, so the maximum height is e^{(ln2/3)t} * 1 + 0.5Which is e^{(ln2/3)t} + 0.5Since e^{(ln2/3)t} = (e^{ln2})^{t/3} = 2^{t/3}So, h_max(t) = 2^{t/3} + 0.5Therefore, at t=6:h_max(6) = 2^{6/3} + 0.5 = 2^2 + 0.5 = 4 + 0.5 = 4.5 meters.Yes, that's correct.So, the maximum height within the first 6 weeks is 4.5 meters.</think>
question:An aspiring filmmaker is working on a project to create a documentary that highlights the inspiring mission of an organization. To effectively convey the organization's impact, the filmmaker decides to include a segment visualizing complex data about the organization's growth and influence over the past decade. The filmmaker has access to the following dataset:- Yearly number of projects completed (( P(t) )) from 2013 to 2023.- Yearly audience reach in thousands (( A(t) )) from 2013 to 2023.The filmmaker wants to create a visual that models the relationship between the number of projects and the audience reach using a quadratic function. The data for the number of projects and audience reach is provided below:| Year | 2013 | 2014 | 2015 | 2016 | 2017 | 2018 | 2019 | 2020 | 2021 | 2022 | 2023 ||------|------|------|------|------|------|------|------|------|------|------|------|| ( P(t) ) | 3 | 5 | 8 | 12 | 17 | 23 | 30 | 38 | 47 | 57 | 68 || ( A(t) ) | 50 | 55 | 63 | 74 | 88 | 105 | 125 | 148 | 174 | 203 | 235 |Sub-problems:1. Quadratic Regression Analysis: Determine the quadratic regression equation ( A(t) = at^2 + bt + c ) that best fits the given dataset for the years 2013 to 2023. Provide the coefficients ( a ), ( b ), and ( c ).2. Projection and Visualization: Using the quadratic regression equation obtained from the first sub-problem, project the audience reach for the year 2025. Additionally, calculate the total increase in audience reach from 2013 to 2025 using the quadratic model.Make sure to provide detailed steps on how to derive the quadratic regression equation and the projection for 2025.
answer:<think>Okay, so I have this problem where I need to help a filmmaker create a documentary by modeling the relationship between the number of projects an organization completes and their audience reach using a quadratic function. The data spans from 2013 to 2023, and I need to find the quadratic regression equation and then use it to project the audience reach for 2025. Hmm, quadratic regression, right? I remember that involves fitting a parabola to the data points. Let me think about how to approach this step by step.First, I need to set up the data. The years are from 2013 to 2023, and for each year, there's a number of projects completed, P(t), and the audience reach, A(t). But wait, the problem says to model the relationship between P(t) and A(t) using a quadratic function. So, is the quadratic function in terms of time (years) or in terms of P(t)? The problem says "quadratic function that models the relationship between the number of projects and the audience reach," so I think it's A(t) as a function of P(t). So, A = aP² + bP + c. That makes sense because we're relating audience reach to the number of projects.But hold on, the sub-problem 1 says "quadratic regression equation A(t) = at² + bt + c." Hmm, that's a bit confusing because t is the year. So, maybe they actually want A(t) as a function of time, not as a function of P(t). Let me check the problem statement again. It says, "model the relationship between the number of projects and the audience reach using a quadratic function." So, that should be A(t) as a function of P(t). But the sub-problem 1 specifies A(t) = at² + bt + c, which is in terms of t. Maybe I need to clarify this.Wait, perhaps the quadratic function is in terms of time, meaning A(t) is modeled as a quadratic function of t, where t is the year. But the years are 2013 to 2023, which are quite large numbers. Maybe it's better to set t=0 for 2013, t=1 for 2014, and so on up to t=10 for 2023. That would make the calculations easier because dealing with numbers like 2013 would complicate the quadratic equation.So, let me adjust the years to t values. Let t=0 correspond to 2013, t=1 to 2014, ..., t=10 to 2023. That way, I can perform the quadratic regression on the transformed t values, which are 0 through 10.Alright, so now I have two variables: t (from 0 to 10) and A(t) (the audience reach). I need to fit a quadratic function A(t) = a*t² + b*t + c to this data. To do this, I can use the method of least squares. I remember that for quadratic regression, we set up a system of equations based on the sum of the squares of the residuals being minimized.Let me recall the formulas for quadratic regression. The coefficients a, b, and c can be found by solving the following system:ΣA(t) = aΣt² + bΣt + cΣ1 ΣA(t)*t = aΣt³ + bΣt² + cΣt ΣA(t)*t² = aΣt⁴ + bΣt³ + cΣt²Where Σ denotes the sum over all data points. So, I need to compute these sums.First, let me list the data with t from 0 to 10 and A(t) as given:t | A(t)---|---0 | 501 | 552 | 633 | 744 | 885 | 1056 | 1257 | 1488 | 1749 | 20310 | 235Now, I need to compute the necessary sums:Σt, Σt², Σt³, Σt⁴, ΣA(t), ΣA(t)*t, ΣA(t)*t².Let me compute each of these step by step.First, Σt from t=0 to 10:Σt = 0 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 = (10*11)/2 = 55.Σt²: sum of squares from 0 to 10.The formula for the sum of squares from 1 to n is n(n+1)(2n+1)/6. But since we start at 0, it's the same as from 1 to 10.So, Σt² = 10*11*21/6 = 385.Σt³: sum of cubes from 0 to 10.Formula is [n(n+1)/2]^2. So, for n=10: (10*11/2)^2 = (55)^2 = 3025.Σt⁴: sum of fourth powers from 0 to 10.I don't remember the exact formula, but I can compute it manually:t=0: 0t=1: 1t=2: 16t=3: 81t=4: 256t=5: 625t=6: 1296t=7: 2401t=8: 4096t=9: 6561t=10: 10000Adding these up:0 + 1 = 1 1 + 16 = 17 17 + 81 = 98 98 + 256 = 354 354 + 625 = 979 979 + 1296 = 2275 2275 + 2401 = 4676 4676 + 4096 = 8772 8772 + 6561 = 15333 15333 + 10000 = 25333.So, Σt⁴ = 25333.Now, ΣA(t):Let me add up all the A(t) values:50 + 55 = 105 105 + 63 = 168 168 + 74 = 242 242 + 88 = 330 330 + 105 = 435 435 + 125 = 560 560 + 148 = 708 708 + 174 = 882 882 + 203 = 1085 1085 + 235 = 1320.So, ΣA(t) = 1320.Next, ΣA(t)*t:Compute each A(t)*t and sum them up.t=0: 50*0 = 0 t=1: 55*1 = 55 t=2: 63*2 = 126 t=3: 74*3 = 222 t=4: 88*4 = 352 t=5: 105*5 = 525 t=6: 125*6 = 750 t=7: 148*7 = 1036 t=8: 174*8 = 1392 t=9: 203*9 = 1827 t=10: 235*10 = 2350.Now, sum these:0 + 55 = 55 55 + 126 = 181 181 + 222 = 403 403 + 352 = 755 755 + 525 = 1280 1280 + 750 = 2030 2030 + 1036 = 3066 3066 + 1392 = 4458 4458 + 1827 = 6285 6285 + 2350 = 8635.So, ΣA(t)*t = 8635.Next, ΣA(t)*t²:Compute each A(t)*t² and sum them up.t=0: 50*0² = 0 t=1: 55*1² = 55 t=2: 63*4 = 252 t=3: 74*9 = 666 t=4: 88*16 = 1408 t=5: 105*25 = 2625 t=6: 125*36 = 4500 t=7: 148*49 = 7252 t=8: 174*64 = 11136 t=9: 203*81 = 16443 t=10: 235*100 = 23500.Now, sum these:0 + 55 = 55 55 + 252 = 307 307 + 666 = 973 973 + 1408 = 2381 2381 + 2625 = 5006 5006 + 4500 = 9506 9506 + 7252 = 16758 16758 + 11136 = 27894 27894 + 16443 = 44337 44337 + 23500 = 67837.So, ΣA(t)*t² = 67837.Now, let me summarize all the computed sums:Σt = 55 Σt² = 385 Σt³ = 3025 Σt⁴ = 25333 ΣA(t) = 1320 ΣA(t)*t = 8635 ΣA(t)*t² = 67837Now, we have three equations:1. ΣA(t) = aΣt² + bΣt + cΣ1 1320 = a*385 + b*55 + c*112. ΣA(t)*t = aΣt³ + bΣt² + cΣt 8635 = a*3025 + b*385 + c*553. ΣA(t)*t² = aΣt⁴ + bΣt³ + cΣt² 67837 = a*25333 + b*3025 + c*385So, we have the system:385a + 55b + 11c = 1320 3025a + 385b + 55c = 8635 25333a + 3025b + 385c = 67837This is a system of three equations with three unknowns: a, b, c.Let me write this in matrix form for clarity:[385 55 11 ] [a] = [1320][3025 385 55 ] [b] [8635][25333 3025 385 ] [c] [67837]To solve this system, I can use elimination or substitution. Alternatively, I can use matrix inversion or Cramer's rule, but given the size, elimination might be manageable.Let me denote the equations as Eq1, Eq2, Eq3.First, let's simplify Eq1. Let's divide Eq1 by 11 to make the numbers smaller:385/11 = 35 55/11 = 5 11/11 = 1 1320/11 = 120So, Eq1 becomes:35a + 5b + c = 120 --> Eq1'Similarly, let's see if we can simplify Eq2. Let's divide Eq2 by 55:3025/55 = 55 385/55 = 7 55/55 = 1 8635/55 = 157So, Eq2 becomes:55a + 7b + c = 157 --> Eq2'Similarly, let's divide Eq3 by 385:25333/385 ≈ 65.8 (Wait, 385*65 = 25025, 25333-25025=308, 308/385=0.8, so 65.8) 3025/385 = 7.857... (Wait, 385*7=2695, 3025-2695=330, 330/385≈0.857) 385/385=1 67837/385 ≈ 176.25 (since 385*176=67760, 67837-67760=77, 77/385=0.2)But these are messy decimals. Maybe instead, let's try to eliminate variables step by step.From Eq1': 35a + 5b + c = 120 From Eq2': 55a + 7b + c = 157Subtract Eq1' from Eq2':(55a - 35a) + (7b - 5b) + (c - c) = 157 - 120 20a + 2b = 37 --> Let's call this Eq4: 20a + 2b = 37Similarly, let's subtract Eq2' from Eq3:Wait, Eq3 is 25333a + 3025b + 385c = 67837 But let's express c from Eq1' and substitute into Eq2' and Eq3.From Eq1': c = 120 - 35a - 5bSubstitute c into Eq2':55a + 7b + (120 - 35a - 5b) = 157 55a + 7b + 120 - 35a - 5b = 157 (55a - 35a) + (7b - 5b) + 120 = 157 20a + 2b + 120 = 157 20a + 2b = 37 --> Which is the same as Eq4.Now, substitute c into Eq3:25333a + 3025b + 385*(120 - 35a - 5b) = 67837 Let's compute 385*120: 385*100=38500, 385*20=7700, total=46200 385*(-35a) = -13475a 385*(-5b) = -1925bSo, expanding:25333a + 3025b + 46200 - 13475a - 1925b = 67837 Combine like terms:(25333a - 13475a) + (3025b - 1925b) + 46200 = 67837 11858a + 1100b + 46200 = 67837 11858a + 1100b = 67837 - 46200 11858a + 1100b = 21637 --> Let's call this Eq5.Now, we have Eq4: 20a + 2b = 37 And Eq5: 11858a + 1100b = 21637Let me simplify Eq4. Let's divide by 2:10a + b = 18.5 --> Eq4'So, from Eq4', b = 18.5 - 10aNow, substitute b into Eq5:11858a + 1100*(18.5 - 10a) = 21637 Compute 1100*18.5: 1100*18=19800, 1100*0.5=550, total=20350 1100*(-10a) = -11000aSo:11858a + 20350 - 11000a = 21637 (11858a - 11000a) + 20350 = 21637 858a + 20350 = 21637 858a = 21637 - 20350 858a = 1287 a = 1287 / 858Let me compute that. 858 goes into 1287 once (858), remainder 429. 858 goes into 429 exactly 0.5 times. So, a = 1.5.Wait, 858 * 1.5 = 1287. Yes, correct.So, a = 1.5Now, substitute a back into Eq4':b = 18.5 - 10*1.5 = 18.5 - 15 = 3.5So, b = 3.5Now, substitute a and b into Eq1' to find c:35a + 5b + c = 120 35*1.5 + 5*3.5 + c = 120 52.5 + 17.5 + c = 120 70 + c = 120 c = 50So, the quadratic regression equation is:A(t) = 1.5t² + 3.5t + 50Wait, let me verify this with the data points.For t=0: A(0)=1.5*0 + 3.5*0 +50=50. Correct.t=1: 1.5 + 3.5 +50=55. Correct.t=2: 1.5*4=6 + 3.5*2=7 +50=63. Correct.t=3: 1.5*9=13.5 + 3.5*3=10.5 +50=74. Correct.t=4: 1.5*16=24 + 3.5*4=14 +50=88. Correct.t=5: 1.5*25=37.5 + 3.5*5=17.5 +50=105. Correct.t=6: 1.5*36=54 + 3.5*6=21 +50=125. Correct.t=7: 1.5*49=73.5 + 3.5*7=24.5 +50=148. Correct.t=8: 1.5*64=96 + 3.5*8=28 +50=174. Correct.t=9: 1.5*81=121.5 + 3.5*9=31.5 +50=203. Correct.t=10:1.5*100=150 + 3.5*10=35 +50=235. Correct.Wow, it fits perfectly! So, the quadratic regression equation is A(t) = 1.5t² + 3.5t + 50, where t is the number of years since 2013 (t=0 in 2013).So, that answers sub-problem 1: a=1.5, b=3.5, c=50.Now, moving on to sub-problem 2: Project the audience reach for 2025 and calculate the total increase from 2013 to 2025.First, let's find what t corresponds to 2025. Since t=0 is 2013, t=12 would be 2025 (2013 +12=2025). So, t=12.Compute A(12):A(12) = 1.5*(12)^2 + 3.5*(12) +50 Compute 12²=144 1.5*144=216 3.5*12=42 So, 216 +42 +50=308.So, the projected audience reach for 2025 is 308 thousand.Now, the total increase from 2013 to 2025. Since 2013 is t=0 with A=50, and 2025 is t=12 with A=308, the increase is 308 -50=258 thousand.But wait, the problem says "total increase in audience reach from 2013 to 2025 using the quadratic model." So, it's the difference between A(12) and A(0), which is indeed 308-50=258.Alternatively, if they meant the total increase over each year from 2013 to 2025, we would have to sum A(t) from t=0 to t=12 and subtract A(0). But I think it's just the difference between the two endpoints.So, the total increase is 258 thousand.Let me just double-check the calculation for A(12):1.5*(12)^2 =1.5*144=216 3.5*12=42 216+42=258 258+50=308. Correct.So, the projection is 308,000 audience reach in 2025, and the total increase from 2013 to 2025 is 258,000.Therefore, the answers are:1. Quadratic regression equation: A(t) = 1.5t² + 3.5t + 50 2. Projected audience reach in 2025: 308 thousand Total increase from 2013 to 2025: 258 thousandFinal Answer1. The quadratic regression equation is (boxed{A(t) = 1.5t^2 + 3.5t + 50}).2. The projected audience reach for 2025 is (boxed{308}) thousand, and the total increase from 2013 to 2025 is (boxed{258}) thousand.</think>
question:A pharmaceutical representative is promoting a new sleep medication. The effectiveness of the medication in improving the sleep quality of patients is being studied over a period of time. The study involves 100 patients, and the sleep quality improvement is tracked by a sleep quality index (SQI) ranging from 0 to 100. 1. Pharmacokinetics Analysis: The concentration ( C(t) ) of the medication in the bloodstream at time ( t ) (in hours) after administration follows the differential equation: [ frac{dC(t)}{dt} = -kC(t) + Ddelta(t-T) ] where ( k ) is the elimination rate constant, ( D ) is the dose administered at time ( T ), and ( delta(t-T) ) is the Dirac delta function representing the instantaneous administration of the dose. Given that ( k = 0.1 text{hr}^{-1} ) and ( D = 50 text{mg} ), solve for ( C(t) ) if ( T = 0 ).2. Statistical Analysis: After 4 weeks, the SQI of patients is measured. The SQI improvement for each patient ( i ) is denoted by ( S_i ), and is given by ( S_i = 10 + 5 ln(1 + C(t_i)) + epsilon_i ), where ( t_i ) is the time (in hours) at which the ( i )-th patient's sleep quality is measured, ( C(t_i) ) is the concentration at that time, and ( epsilon_i ) represents normally distributed random noise with mean 0 and variance ( sigma^2 = 4 ). Calculate the expected value and variance of the SQI improvements ( S_i ).Note: Assume the initial concentration ( C(0) ) is zero and all patients have the same dose and elimination rate constant.
answer:<think>Alright, so I've got this problem about a pharmaceutical representative promoting a new sleep medication. The study involves 100 patients, and they're tracking the sleep quality improvement using a sleep quality index (SQI) from 0 to 100. There are two parts to the problem: pharmacokinetics analysis and statistical analysis.Starting with the first part, pharmacokinetics analysis. The concentration ( C(t) ) of the medication in the bloodstream at time ( t ) after administration is given by the differential equation:[frac{dC(t)}{dt} = -kC(t) + Ddelta(t-T)]where ( k = 0.1 text{hr}^{-1} ), ( D = 50 text{mg} ), and ( T = 0 ). I need to solve for ( C(t) ).Hmm, okay. So this is a linear differential equation with a Dirac delta function as an input. I remember that the Dirac delta function represents an impulse, so in this case, the dose ( D ) is administered at time ( T = 0 ). The initial concentration ( C(0) ) is zero, as given.I think the solution to such an equation involves finding the impulse response of the system. The general solution for a linear differential equation like this can be found using Laplace transforms or by recognizing it as a first-order linear system.Let me recall the standard form of a first-order linear differential equation:[frac{dC}{dt} + kC = f(t)]In this case, ( f(t) = Ddelta(t-T) ). Since ( T = 0 ), it simplifies to ( f(t) = Ddelta(t) ).The integrating factor method can be used here. The integrating factor ( mu(t) ) is ( e^{int k , dt} = e^{kt} ).Multiplying both sides of the differential equation by the integrating factor:[e^{kt} frac{dC}{dt} + k e^{kt} C = D e^{kt} delta(t)]The left side is the derivative of ( C e^{kt} ), so integrating both sides:[C e^{kt} = D int e^{kt} delta(t) , dt + C_0]Where ( C_0 ) is the constant of integration. The integral of ( e^{kt} delta(t) ) is ( e^{k cdot 0} = 1 ), because the delta function is zero everywhere except at ( t = 0 ). So:[C e^{kt} = D + C_0]At ( t = 0 ), the initial condition is ( C(0) = 0 ). Plugging that in:[0 cdot e^{0} = D + C_0 implies 0 = D + C_0 implies C_0 = -D]So the solution becomes:[C e^{kt} = D - D = 0 quad text{Wait, that can't be right.}]Wait, hold on. Maybe I made a mistake here. Let me double-check.The integral of ( e^{kt} delta(t) ) is indeed ( e^{k cdot 0} = 1 ), so:[C e^{kt} = D cdot 1 + C_0]At ( t = 0 ), ( C(0) = 0 ):[0 = D + C_0 implies C_0 = -D]So plugging back in:[C e^{kt} = D - D = 0 implies C(t) = 0]But that can't be correct because we administered a dose at ( t = 0 ). I must have messed up somewhere.Wait, maybe I should approach this using Laplace transforms instead. Let me try that.Taking the Laplace transform of both sides of the differential equation:[mathcal{L}left{frac{dC}{dt}right} + k mathcal{L}{C} = mathcal{L}{Ddelta(t)}]We know that:[mathcal{L}left{frac{dC}{dt}right} = sC(s) - C(0)][mathcal{L}{C} = C(s)][mathcal{L}{delta(t)} = 1]So plugging in:[sC(s) - C(0) + kC(s) = D cdot 1]Given ( C(0) = 0 ):[sC(s) + kC(s) = D][C(s)(s + k) = D][C(s) = frac{D}{s + k}]Taking the inverse Laplace transform:[C(t) = D e^{-kt} u(t)]Where ( u(t) ) is the unit step function, which is 1 for ( t geq 0 ) and 0 otherwise. Since we're considering ( t geq 0 ), we can ignore the step function.So the concentration is:[C(t) = 50 e^{-0.1 t}]Ah, that makes sense. So the initial concentration is 50 mg at ( t = 0 ), and it decays exponentially with a rate constant ( k = 0.1 ) hr⁻¹.So, I think my initial approach with integrating factors led me astray because I might have misapplied the method, but using Laplace transforms gave me the correct result. So, the concentration over time is ( C(t) = 50 e^{-0.1 t} ).Moving on to the second part: statistical analysis. After 4 weeks, the SQI of patients is measured. The SQI improvement for each patient ( i ) is given by:[S_i = 10 + 5 ln(1 + C(t_i)) + epsilon_i]where ( t_i ) is the time at which the ( i )-th patient's SQI is measured, ( C(t_i) ) is the concentration at that time, and ( epsilon_i ) is normally distributed random noise with mean 0 and variance ( sigma^2 = 4 ).We need to calculate the expected value and variance of the SQI improvements ( S_i ).First, let's note that ( epsilon_i ) is independent of ( C(t_i) ), I assume, since it's random noise. So, the expected value of ( S_i ) is:[E[S_i] = E[10 + 5 ln(1 + C(t_i)) + epsilon_i] = 10 + 5 E[ln(1 + C(t_i))] + E[epsilon_i]]Since ( E[epsilon_i] = 0 ), this simplifies to:[E[S_i] = 10 + 5 E[ln(1 + C(t_i))]]Now, ( C(t_i) ) is a deterministic function of ( t_i ), right? Because for each patient, the concentration at their specific time ( t_i ) is known. Wait, but the problem says all patients have the same dose and elimination rate constant. So, does each patient have the same ( t_i ) or different ( t_i )?Wait, the problem says "the SQI of patients is measured after 4 weeks", but it doesn't specify whether each patient is measured at the same time or different times. Hmm.Wait, let me read again: "the SQI improvement for each patient ( i ) is denoted by ( S_i ), and is given by ( S_i = 10 + 5 ln(1 + C(t_i)) + epsilon_i ), where ( t_i ) is the time (in hours) at which the ( i )-th patient's sleep quality is measured, ( C(t_i) ) is the concentration at that time, and ( epsilon_i ) represents normally distributed random noise with mean 0 and variance ( sigma^2 = 4 )."So, each patient ( i ) has their SQI measured at time ( t_i ), which could be different for each patient. So, ( t_i ) varies per patient.But the problem doesn't specify the distribution of ( t_i ). Hmm. So, is ( t_i ) a random variable or a fixed time? The problem says "the SQI of patients is measured after 4 weeks", but 4 weeks is a fixed time, which is 4 * 7 * 24 = 672 hours.Wait, maybe all patients are measured at the same time, 4 weeks after administration? That would make sense. So, ( t_i = 672 ) hours for all patients.But the problem says "the time ( t_i ) at which the ( i )-th patient's sleep quality is measured". So, it's possible that each patient is measured at different times, but the problem doesn't specify. Hmm.Wait, let me check the problem statement again:"After 4 weeks, the SQI of patients is measured. The SQI improvement for each patient ( i ) is denoted by ( S_i ), and is given by ( S_i = 10 + 5 ln(1 + C(t_i)) + epsilon_i ), where ( t_i ) is the time (in hours) at which the ( i )-th patient's sleep quality is measured, ( C(t_i) ) is the concentration at that time, and ( epsilon_i ) represents normally distributed random noise with mean 0 and variance ( sigma^2 = 4 )."So, it says "after 4 weeks", but then defines ( t_i ) as the time at which each patient's SQI is measured. So, perhaps all patients are measured at the same time, 4 weeks after administration. So, ( t_i = 4 ) weeks = 672 hours for all ( i ). That would make sense.Alternatively, maybe each patient is measured at a different time, but the problem doesn't specify the distribution of ( t_i ). Hmm.Wait, the problem says "the SQI of patients is measured after 4 weeks", which might imply that all measurements are taken after 4 weeks, so ( t_i = 672 ) hours for all patients. Therefore, ( C(t_i) = C(672) ) for all ( i ).Alternatively, if the measurements are taken at different times, but the problem doesn't specify, so perhaps we can assume that ( t_i ) is fixed at 672 hours for all patients.Given that, ( C(t_i) = 50 e^{-0.1 * 672} ). Let me compute that.First, compute the exponent:( 0.1 * 672 = 67.2 )So, ( e^{-67.2} ) is a very small number. Let me compute that.But wait, 67.2 is a large exponent, so ( e^{-67.2} ) is practically zero. So, ( C(672) approx 0 ).Therefore, ( ln(1 + C(t_i)) approx ln(1 + 0) = ln(1) = 0 ).Therefore, ( S_i approx 10 + 5 * 0 + epsilon_i = 10 + epsilon_i ).Therefore, the expected value ( E[S_i] = 10 + E[epsilon_i] = 10 + 0 = 10 ).The variance of ( S_i ) is the variance of ( 10 + 5 ln(1 + C(t_i)) + epsilon_i ). Since 10 is a constant, it doesn't affect the variance. The term ( 5 ln(1 + C(t_i)) ) is deterministic because ( C(t_i) ) is deterministic (since ( t_i ) is fixed). Therefore, the variance comes only from ( epsilon_i ), which is 4.Wait, but if ( C(t_i) ) is deterministic, then ( ln(1 + C(t_i)) ) is deterministic, so the variance of ( S_i ) is just the variance of ( epsilon_i ), which is 4.But wait, earlier I approximated ( C(t_i) ) as zero because ( e^{-67.2} ) is so small. But let's check if that's a valid approximation.Compute ( C(672) = 50 e^{-0.1 * 672} = 50 e^{-67.2} ).Calculating ( e^{-67.2} ):Since ( e^{-67.2} ) is extremely small, it's effectively zero for practical purposes. So, ( C(t_i) approx 0 ), so ( ln(1 + C(t_i)) approx C(t_i) ) because for small ( x ), ( ln(1 + x) approx x ). So, ( ln(1 + C(t_i)) approx C(t_i) ).Therefore, ( S_i approx 10 + 5 C(t_i) + epsilon_i ).But since ( C(t_i) ) is deterministic, the expected value is still 10, and the variance is still 4.Wait, but if ( C(t_i) ) is deterministic, then ( 5 ln(1 + C(t_i)) ) is also deterministic, so the variance of ( S_i ) is just the variance of ( epsilon_i ), which is 4.But let me think again. If ( C(t_i) ) is deterministic, then ( S_i ) is a constant plus a random variable. So, the variance is just the variance of the random noise, which is 4.However, if ( C(t_i) ) is random, then we would have to consider the variance from both ( C(t_i) ) and ( epsilon_i ). But in this case, since ( t_i ) is fixed, ( C(t_i) ) is fixed, so it's deterministic.Wait, but the problem says "the time ( t_i ) at which the ( i )-th patient's sleep quality is measured". So, if each patient is measured at a different time ( t_i ), then ( C(t_i) ) would vary per patient. But the problem doesn't specify whether ( t_i ) is fixed or random.Hmm, this is a bit ambiguous. Let me re-examine the problem statement."After 4 weeks, the SQI of patients is measured. The SQI improvement for each patient ( i ) is denoted by ( S_i ), and is given by ( S_i = 10 + 5 ln(1 + C(t_i)) + epsilon_i ), where ( t_i ) is the time (in hours) at which the ( i )-th patient's sleep quality is measured, ( C(t_i) ) is the concentration at that time, and ( epsilon_i ) represents normally distributed random noise with mean 0 and variance ( sigma^2 = 4 )."So, it says "after 4 weeks", but then defines ( t_i ) as the time at which each patient's SQI is measured. So, perhaps each patient's SQI is measured at a different time, but all within the 4-week period. Or maybe all at the same time.But the problem doesn't specify the distribution of ( t_i ). So, perhaps we can assume that all patients are measured at the same time, 4 weeks after administration, so ( t_i = 672 ) hours for all ( i ). Therefore, ( C(t_i) ) is the same for all patients, and thus deterministic.Alternatively, if ( t_i ) varies, but the problem doesn't give any information about the distribution of ( t_i ), so we can't compute the expectation over ( t_i ). Therefore, it's safer to assume that all patients are measured at the same time, 4 weeks after administration.Therefore, ( t_i = 672 ) hours for all ( i ), so ( C(t_i) = 50 e^{-0.1 * 672} approx 0 ), as before.Therefore, ( S_i = 10 + 5 ln(1 + 0) + epsilon_i = 10 + 0 + epsilon_i = 10 + epsilon_i ).Therefore, the expected value ( E[S_i] = 10 + E[epsilon_i] = 10 + 0 = 10 ).The variance of ( S_i ) is ( text{Var}(S_i) = text{Var}(10 + epsilon_i) = text{Var}(epsilon_i) = 4 ).But wait, let me think again. If ( C(t_i) ) is not exactly zero, but very small, then ( ln(1 + C(t_i)) approx C(t_i) - frac{C(t_i)^2}{2} + cdots ). So, it's approximately ( C(t_i) ) for small ( C(t_i) ).Therefore, ( S_i approx 10 + 5 C(t_i) + epsilon_i ).But since ( C(t_i) ) is deterministic, the expectation is still 10 + 5 C(t_i), and the variance is still 4.Wait, but if ( C(t_i) ) is deterministic, then the expectation is 10 + 5 C(t_i), and the variance is 4.But in the problem statement, it says "the SQI improvement for each patient ( i ) is denoted by ( S_i )", so each ( S_i ) is a random variable because of ( epsilon_i ), but ( C(t_i) ) is fixed for each ( i ).Wait, but if ( t_i ) is fixed for all ( i ), then ( C(t_i) ) is the same for all ( i ), so ( S_i ) is 10 + 5 ln(1 + C(t_i)) + epsilon_i, where ( epsilon_i ) are iid N(0,4).Therefore, the expected value of ( S_i ) is 10 + 5 ln(1 + C(t_i)), and the variance is 4.But if ( t_i ) varies, then ( C(t_i) ) varies, and we would have to take the expectation over ( t_i ). But since the problem doesn't specify the distribution of ( t_i ), I think we have to assume that all ( t_i ) are the same, i.e., 4 weeks after administration.Therefore, ( t_i = 672 ) hours, so ( C(t_i) = 50 e^{-0.1 * 672} approx 0 ).Therefore, ( ln(1 + C(t_i)) approx C(t_i) ), so ( S_i approx 10 + 5 C(t_i) + epsilon_i ).But since ( C(t_i) ) is deterministic, the expected value is 10 + 5 C(t_i), and the variance is 4.But let's compute ( C(t_i) ) more precisely.Compute ( C(t_i) = 50 e^{-0.1 * 672} ).First, 0.1 * 672 = 67.2.So, ( e^{-67.2} ) is a very small number. Let me compute it.We know that ( e^{-10} approx 4.539993e-5 ), and ( e^{-20} approx 2.061154e-9 ), ( e^{-30} approx 9.357623e-14 ), and so on. Each additional 10 in the exponent reduces the value by about 4 orders of magnitude.So, ( e^{-67.2} ) is ( e^{-60} * e^{-7.2} ).Compute ( e^{-60} approx 3.77856e-26 ) (since ( e^{-60} = (e^{-10})^6 approx (4.539993e-5)^6 approx 4.539993^6 * 10^{-30} approx 1.853e-25 * 10^{-30} ) Wait, that can't be right. Wait, no, ( (10^{-5})^6 = 10^{-30} ), but 4.539993^6 is approximately (4.54)^6 ≈ 4.54*4.54=20.61, 20.61*4.54≈93.6, 93.6*4.54≈425.5, 425.5*4.54≈1934, 1934*4.54≈8780. So, approximately 8.78e3 * 10^{-30} = 8.78e-27.Wait, that seems too rough. Alternatively, I can use the fact that ( ln(10) approx 2.3026 ), so ( e^{-60} = 10^{-60/2.3026} ≈ 10^{-26.05} ≈ 10^{-26} ).Similarly, ( e^{-7.2} ≈ e^{-7} * e^{-0.2} ≈ 0.00091188 * 0.8187 ≈ 0.000748.Therefore, ( e^{-67.2} ≈ e^{-60} * e^{-7.2} ≈ 10^{-26} * 0.000748 ≈ 7.48e-30 ).So, ( C(t_i) = 50 * 7.48e-30 ≈ 3.74e-28 ) mg.So, ( C(t_i) ) is extremely small, practically zero.Therefore, ( ln(1 + C(t_i)) ≈ C(t_i) - frac{C(t_i)^2}{2} + cdots approx C(t_i) ), since higher-order terms are negligible.Therefore, ( S_i ≈ 10 + 5 * C(t_i) + epsilon_i ≈ 10 + 5 * 3.74e-28 + epsilon_i ≈ 10 + epsilon_i ).So, the expected value ( E[S_i] = 10 + 0 = 10 ), and the variance ( text{Var}(S_i) = text{Var}(epsilon_i) = 4 ).Therefore, the expected value is 10, and the variance is 4.But wait, let me think again. If ( C(t_i) ) is not exactly zero, but extremely small, does that affect the expectation?Since ( C(t_i) ) is deterministic, the expectation of ( S_i ) is 10 + 5 ln(1 + C(t_i)), which is 10 + 5 * C(t_i) approximately, because ( C(t_i) ) is so small.But since ( C(t_i) ) is so small, 5 * C(t_i) is negligible, so the expected value is approximately 10.Similarly, the variance is just the variance of ( epsilon_i ), which is 4.Therefore, the expected value is 10, and the variance is 4.But let me confirm if ( C(t_i) ) is deterministic or random. Since ( t_i ) is fixed at 672 hours for all patients, ( C(t_i) ) is the same for all patients, so it's a constant. Therefore, when calculating the expected value and variance over the patients, ( C(t_i) ) is treated as a constant, and only ( epsilon_i ) contributes to the variance.Therefore, the expected value of ( S_i ) is 10 + 5 ln(1 + C(t_i)), which is approximately 10, and the variance is 4.Alternatively, if ( t_i ) varies, then ( C(t_i) ) varies, and we would have to compute the expectation over ( t_i ). But since the problem doesn't specify the distribution of ( t_i ), I think it's safe to assume that all patients are measured at the same time, 4 weeks after administration, so ( t_i = 672 ) hours, making ( C(t_i) ) deterministic.Therefore, the expected value is 10, and the variance is 4.Wait, but let me think again. If ( C(t_i) ) is deterministic, then ( S_i = 10 + 5 ln(1 + C(t_i)) + epsilon_i ), so the expectation is 10 + 5 ln(1 + C(t_i)), and the variance is 4.But since ( C(t_i) ) is so small, ( ln(1 + C(t_i)) approx C(t_i) ), so the expectation is approximately 10 + 5 * C(t_i). But since ( C(t_i) ) is so small, it's negligible, so the expectation is approximately 10.But to be precise, let's compute ( ln(1 + C(t_i)) ).Given ( C(t_i) = 50 e^{-67.2} ≈ 3.74e-28 ), then ( ln(1 + 3.74e-28) ≈ 3.74e-28 - (3.74e-28)^2 / 2 + cdots approx 3.74e-28 ).Therefore, ( 5 ln(1 + C(t_i)) ≈ 5 * 3.74e-28 ≈ 1.87e-27 ), which is negligible compared to 10.Therefore, the expected value is effectively 10, and the variance is 4.So, to summarize:1. The concentration ( C(t) ) is ( 50 e^{-0.1 t} ).2. The expected value of ( S_i ) is 10, and the variance is 4.But wait, let me check if ( t_i ) is indeed 672 hours. The problem says "after 4 weeks", which is 4 * 7 * 24 = 672 hours. So, yes, ( t_i = 672 ) hours.Therefore, the final answers are:1. ( C(t) = 50 e^{-0.1 t} ).2. Expected value of ( S_i ) is 10, variance is 4.</think>
