answer：First, I need to calculate the total number of photographs taken by the taikonaut. The taikonaut takes 5 photographs every hour, works for 8 hours each day, and does this for 5 days. So, I'll multiply the number of photographs per hour by the number of hours per day to find the daily total. Then, I'll multiply that daily total by the number of days to get the overall number of photographs.Next, I'll determine the total number of orbits the satellite completes. The satellite orbits Earth 4 times each day and operates for 15 days. I'll multiply the number of orbits per day by the number of operational days to find the total number of orbits.Finally, I'll present both totals clearly to show the results.

answer：Alright, so I have this problem where Mayor Elena wants to protect 30% of the city's land, which is 500 square kilometers, so that's 150 square kilometers. The goal is to maximize the indigenous population within this protected area, and all three cultural sites must be included. The population density follows a Gaussian distribution with peaks at these three sites. First, let me tackle part 1: finding the scaling constant ( A ) such that the total population is 100,000. The density function is given by:[ rho(x, y) = A left( e^{-frac{((x-2)^2 + (y-3)^2)}{2sigma^2}} + e^{-frac{((x-5)^2 + (y-8)^2)}{2sigma^2}} + e^{-frac{((x-9)^2 + (y-6)^2)}{2sigma^2}} right) ]To find ( A ), I need to integrate this density function over the entire city area and set it equal to 100,000. The city's area is 500 km², so the integral over x and y from 0 to whatever the city's boundaries are (but since it's a Cartesian system, I assume it's over all real numbers, but practically, the density drops off quickly due to the Gaussian).But wait, the city is 500 km², but the coordinate system isn't specified. Maybe it's a square? If each unit is 1 km, then the city might be a square of side length sqrt(500), which is approximately 22.36 km. But the problem doesn't specify the exact shape, so maybe it's just an infinite plane? But that doesn't make sense because the total area is 500 km².Hmm, perhaps the city is a square with side length 22.36 km, centered somewhere? Or maybe it's a rectangle? The problem doesn't specify, so maybe I have to assume that the integration is over the entire plane, but the density is non-zero only within the city limits. But without knowing the exact boundaries, it's tricky.Wait, maybe the city is represented as a square from (0,0) to (sqrt(500), sqrt(500))? Or perhaps it's a rectangle with specific dimensions. Since the problem doesn't specify, maybe I can assume that the city is a square with area 500 km², so each side is sqrt(500) km. That would make the city extend from, say, (0,0) to (sqrt(500), sqrt(500)). But the cultural sites are at (2,3), (5,8), and (9,6). So, if the city is a square, it's probably much larger than these coordinates. So maybe the city is a square with side length 22.36 km, but the coordinates given are within that.Alternatively, perhaps the city is represented as a square from (0,0) to (22.36, 22.36). But without knowing, it's hard to set up the integral limits. Maybe the problem expects me to consider the entire plane, but then the integral would be over all x and y, which would be infinite, but since the density is Gaussian, the integral converges.Wait, the total area is 500 km², but the density function is defined over the entire plane. So maybe the city is considered as a square of 500 km², but the density is only non-zero within that. So perhaps the integral is over the city's area, which is 500 km², but the density function is given as a sum of three Gaussians centered at the cultural sites.But the problem says the city's total area is 500 km², and the density is spread over this area. So maybe the integral is over the entire city, which is 500 km², and the density function is defined over that area.But without knowing the exact shape, I might have to assume that the city is a square, but perhaps the exact boundaries aren't necessary because the integral of a Gaussian over the entire plane is known.Wait, the integral of a single Gaussian over the entire plane is ( 2pi sigma^2 ). Since we have three Gaussians, each scaled by A, the total integral would be ( A times 3 times 2pi sigma^2 ). But the total area is 500 km², so maybe the integral is over the city's area, which is 500 km², but the Gaussians might spill outside the city.This is getting complicated. Maybe the problem expects me to consider the integral over the entire plane, but the city's area is 500 km², so perhaps the scaling constant A is such that the integral over the entire plane is 100,000, regardless of the city's boundaries. But that might not make sense because the city's area is 500 km², so the population is only within that area.Alternatively, maybe the city is considered as the entire plane, and the density is defined everywhere, but the total area is 500 km², which is the area where the density is non-zero? No, that doesn't make sense.Wait, perhaps the city is a square of 500 km², so each side is sqrt(500) ≈ 22.36 km. So the city extends from, say, (0,0) to (22.36, 22.36). Then, the integral of the density function over this square should be 100,000.But integrating a sum of three Gaussians over a square is non-trivial. Maybe the problem expects me to approximate it by considering each Gaussian separately and integrating over the entire plane, then summing them up, and then setting the total to 100,000.So, for a single Gaussian, the integral over the entire plane is ( 2pi sigma^2 ). So for three Gaussians, it's ( 3 times 2pi sigma^2 ). Then, the total population would be ( A times 3 times 2pi sigma^2 = 100,000 ).But wait, the problem doesn't specify the value of σ. So maybe σ is given? Wait, no, σ isn't given. Hmm, that's a problem. The density function is given, but σ is unknown. So maybe I need to express A in terms of σ? But the problem says to find A such that the total population is 100,000, so perhaps σ is a known constant? Or maybe it's a standard deviation that we can assume?Wait, the problem doesn't mention σ, so maybe it's a typo, or maybe σ is given elsewhere. Wait, no, the problem statement only gives the density function with A and σ, but doesn't specify σ. So perhaps σ is a parameter that we can choose, or maybe it's a known value. Wait, no, the problem doesn't specify, so maybe I have to leave A in terms of σ? But the problem says "find the value of A", implying that it's a numerical value. So perhaps σ is a known constant, but it's not given. Hmm, this is confusing.Wait, maybe the problem expects me to consider that each Gaussian is normalized such that the integral over the entire plane is 1, so each Gaussian has an integral of 1, so the total integral would be 3, and then A would be 100,000 / 3. But that might not be correct because the integral of a Gaussian is ( 2pi sigma^2 ), not 1. So if each Gaussian is scaled by A, then the integral is ( A times 2pi sigma^2 ) per Gaussian, so three Gaussians would be ( 3A times 2pi sigma^2 ). So setting that equal to 100,000:[ 3A times 2pi sigma^2 = 100,000 ][ A = frac{100,000}{6pi sigma^2} ]But since σ isn't given, I can't compute a numerical value for A. So maybe the problem assumes that σ is 1? Or perhaps σ is such that the integral over the city's area is 100,000, but without knowing the city's boundaries, it's impossible.Wait, maybe the city is a square of 500 km², so each side is sqrt(500) ≈ 22.36 km, and the integral is over this square. But integrating a Gaussian over a square is complicated, and without knowing σ, it's impossible to compute numerically.Wait, perhaps the problem expects me to assume that the entire population is within the city, so the integral over the city's area is 100,000. But without knowing σ, I can't compute A. So maybe the problem expects me to express A in terms of σ, but the question says "find the value of A", implying a numerical answer. So perhaps σ is given elsewhere, but I don't see it in the problem.Wait, maybe I misread the problem. Let me check again.The problem says: "The city’s total area is 500 square kilometers, and she intends to allocate 30% of it as protected land. The indigenous population living in the city is spread over this area but is most densely populated around three primary cultural sites located at coordinates (2, 3), (5, 8), and (9, 6) in a Cartesian coordinate system where each unit represents 1 kilometer."Then, the density function is given as a sum of three Gaussians with peaks at those sites, and we need to find A such that the total population is 100,000.Wait, maybe the city is a square with side length 22.36 km, but the coordinates of the cultural sites are (2,3), (5,8), (9,6), which are all within that square. So perhaps the city is a square from (0,0) to (22.36,22.36). Then, the integral of the density function over this square is 100,000.But integrating three Gaussians over a square is difficult without knowing σ. Maybe the problem expects me to assume that the Gaussians are normalized such that each has an integral of 1 over the entire plane, so the total integral would be 3, and then A would be 100,000 / 3 ≈ 33,333.33. But that's assuming each Gaussian integrates to 1, which would mean that ( A times 2pi sigma^2 = 1 ), so ( A = 1/(2pi sigma^2) ). But without knowing σ, I can't compute A numerically.Wait, maybe the problem expects me to consider that the total population is the sum of three Gaussians, each with integral ( 2pi sigma^2 ), so total integral is ( 3 times 2pi sigma^2 ), and set that equal to 100,000. So:[ 3 times 2pi sigma^2 A = 100,000 ][ A = frac{100,000}{6pi sigma^2} ]But again, without σ, I can't find a numerical value. So maybe the problem expects me to assume σ = 1? If σ = 1, then:[ A = frac{100,000}{6pi} ≈ frac{100,000}{18.8496} ≈ 5305.16 ]But the problem doesn't specify σ, so I'm not sure. Maybe I should proceed with the integral over the entire plane, assuming that the city's area is the entire plane, but that doesn't make sense because the city's area is 500 km². Alternatively, maybe the city is a square of 500 km², and the density is zero outside, but then the integral would be over that square, but without knowing σ, it's impossible.Wait, maybe the problem is designed such that σ is 1, so I can proceed with that assumption. Let me try that.Assuming σ = 1, then each Gaussian has an integral of ( 2pi times 1^2 = 2pi ). So three Gaussians would have a total integral of ( 6pi ). Therefore, to get a total population of 100,000, we set:[ A times 6pi = 100,000 ][ A = frac{100,000}{6pi} ≈ 5305.16 ]So A ≈ 5305.16.But I'm not sure if σ is 1. The problem doesn't specify, so maybe I need to leave it in terms of σ. But the question says "find the value of A", implying a numerical answer. So perhaps σ is 1, or maybe it's a different value. Alternatively, maybe the problem expects me to consider that the integral over the city's area is 100,000, but without knowing the city's boundaries, it's impossible.Wait, maybe the city is a square of 500 km², so each side is sqrt(500) ≈ 22.36 km. So the city extends from, say, (0,0) to (22.36,22.36). Then, the integral of the density function over this square is 100,000. But integrating three Gaussians over a square is complicated, and without knowing σ, it's impossible to compute numerically. So maybe the problem expects me to assume that the Gaussians are such that their integrals over the city are 1 each, so A = 100,000 / 3 ≈ 33,333.33. But that's a rough assumption.Alternatively, maybe the problem expects me to consider that the total area is 500 km², and the density function is such that the integral over the entire plane is 100,000. So, as I thought earlier, with σ = 1, A ≈ 5305.16. But since σ isn't given, maybe the problem expects me to express A in terms of σ.Wait, the problem says "find the value of A", so maybe σ is a known constant, but it's not given. Hmm, this is confusing. Maybe I should proceed with the assumption that σ = 1, as it's a common choice, and provide A ≈ 5305.16.But let me think again. The problem says the city's total area is 500 km², and the density is spread over this area. So the integral of the density function over the city's area is 100,000. But without knowing the city's boundaries, I can't set up the integral limits. So maybe the problem expects me to consider that the city is the entire plane, and the density is zero outside, but that doesn't make sense because the city's area is 500 km².Wait, maybe the city is a square of 500 km², so each side is sqrt(500) ≈ 22.36 km, and the density is zero outside this square. Then, the integral of the density function over this square is 100,000. But without knowing σ, I can't compute the integral. So maybe the problem expects me to assume that the Gaussians are such that their integrals over the city are 1 each, so A = 100,000 / 3 ≈ 33,333.33. But that's a rough assumption.Alternatively, maybe the problem expects me to consider that the total area is 500 km², and the density function is such that the integral over the entire plane is 100,000.

But since σ isn't given, maybe the problem expects me to express A in terms of σ.Wait, the problem says "find the value of A", so maybe σ is a known constant, but it's not given. Hmm, this is confusing. Maybe I should proceed with the assumption that σ = 1, as it's a common choice, and provide A ≈ 5305.16.But let me check the units. The density function is in people per square kilometer, right? So A has units of people per square kilometer. The integral over the city's area (500 km²) should give 100,000 people. So:[ iint_{city} rho(x,y) dx dy = 100,000 ]If the city is a square of 500 km², then the integral is over that square. But without knowing σ, I can't compute it. So maybe the problem expects me to assume that the Gaussians are such that their integrals over the city are 1 each, so A = 100,000 / 3 ≈ 33,333.33. But that's a rough assumption.Alternatively, maybe the problem expects me to consider that the total area is 500 km², and the density function is such that the integral over the entire plane is 100,000.

The density function is in people per square kilometer, so A must have units of people per square kilometer. The integral over the city's area (500 km²) should give 100,000 people. So:[ A times text{integral of the sum of Gaussians over the city} = 100,000 ]But without knowing the integral, I can't find A. So maybe the problem expects me to assume that the integral of each Gaussian over the city is 1, so the total integral is 3, hence A = 100,000 / 3 ≈ 33,333.33.Alternatively, maybe the problem expects me to consider that the total area is 500 km², and the density function is such that the integral over the entire plane is 100,000. So, as I thought earlier, with σ = 1, A ≈ 5305.16.But since the problem doesn't specify σ, I'm stuck. Maybe I should proceed with the assumption that σ = 1, as it's a common choice, and provide A ≈ 5305.16.So, for part 1, I think A is approximately 5305.16, assuming σ = 1.Now, moving on to part 2: determining the exact boundaries of the 150 km² protected land that maximize the indigenous population density within these boundaries, ensuring that all three cultural sites are included.To maximize the population within 150 km², we need to find a region that includes all three cultural sites and has the highest possible population density. Since the density is highest around the cultural sites, the optimal region would likely be a shape that encompasses all three sites while capturing the areas of highest density.Given that the density function is a sum of three Gaussians, the highest density regions are around each of the three sites. So, the protected area should include all three sites and possibly the regions between them where the density is still high.One approach is to create a region that connects the three sites, perhaps a convex hull, but adjusted to capture the areas of highest density. Alternatively, since Gaussians are radially symmetric, the highest density regions are circles around each site. So, the protected area could be the union of three circles around each site, but adjusted to ensure the total area is 150 km².However, the problem asks for the exact boundaries, so perhaps it's a single polygon or shape that includes all three sites and has the highest possible density within 150 km².Alternatively, since the density is highest at the sites, the optimal region would be the smallest possible area that includes all three sites and has the highest density elsewhere. But since we need 150 km², which is 30% of 500, it's a significant portion.Wait, but 150 km² is 30% of 500, so it's a large area. So, perhaps the optimal region is a convex shape that includes all three sites and as much of the high-density areas around them as possible.But without knowing σ, it's hard to determine the exact shape. However, since σ isn't given, maybe the problem expects a general answer, like a circle or a polygon connecting the sites.Alternatively, perhaps the optimal region is a circle centered at the centroid of the three sites, with a radius such that the area is 150 km². The centroid of the three sites is:x_centroid = (2 + 5 + 9)/3 = 16/3 ≈ 5.333y_centroid = (3 + 8 + 6)/3 = 17/3 ≈ 5.666So, a circle centered at (5.333, 5.666) with area 150 km² would have a radius r where πr² = 150, so r = sqrt(150/π) ≈ sqrt(47.75) ≈ 6.91 km.But does this circle include all three sites? Let's check the distance from the centroid to each site.Distance from centroid to (2,3):dx = 2 - 5.333 ≈ -3.333dy = 3 - 5.666 ≈ -2.666distance = sqrt((-3.333)^2 + (-2.666)^2) ≈ sqrt(11.11 + 7.11) ≈ sqrt(18.22) ≈ 4.27 km < 6.91 km. So yes.Distance to (5,8):dx = 5 - 5.333 ≈ -0.333dy = 8 - 5.666 ≈ 2.333distance = sqrt(0.111 + 5.444) ≈ sqrt(5.555) ≈ 2.356 km < 6.91 km. Yes.Distance to (9,6):dx = 9 - 5.333 ≈ 3.667dy = 6 - 5.666 ≈ 0.334distance = sqrt(13.444 + 0.111) ≈ sqrt(13.555) ≈ 3.68 km < 6.91 km. Yes.So, a circle centered at the centroid with radius ≈6.91 km would include all three sites and have an area of 150 km². But is this the region that maximizes the population density?Alternatively, since the density is higher near each site, perhaps the optimal region is a polygon that connects the three sites and perhaps some areas around them. But without knowing σ, it's hard to say.Alternatively, maybe the optimal region is the union of three circles around each site, each with radius r, such that the total area is 150 km². But since the sites are not colinear, the union would have overlapping areas, so the total area would be less than 3 times the area of one circle. So, to get 150 km², each circle would need to be larger.But again, without knowing σ, it's hard to determine the exact shape.Alternatively, perhaps the optimal region is a single polygon that includes all three sites and has the highest possible density within 150 km². But without knowing σ, it's hard to define.Wait, maybe the problem expects me to consider that the optimal region is the smallest possible area that includes all three sites and has the highest density elsewhere, but since we need 150 km², it's a trade-off between including high-density areas and covering all three sites.Alternatively, perhaps the optimal region is a circle that includes all three sites and has an area of 150 km², as I calculated earlier. That would be a possible answer.But let me think again. The density is highest at the sites, so to maximize the population within 150 km², we should include as much of the high-density areas around the sites as possible. So, perhaps the optimal region is the union of three circles around each site, each with radius r, such that the total area is 150 km², minus the overlapping areas. But calculating that is complex.Alternatively, perhaps the optimal region is a convex hull of the three sites plus some buffer area around them. The convex hull of the three points (2,3), (5,8), (9,6) is a triangle. The area of this triangle can be calculated using the shoelace formula.Let me calculate the area of the triangle:Coordinates: (2,3), (5,8), (9,6)Using shoelace formula:Area = ½ | (2*8 + 5*6 + 9*3) - (3*5 + 8*9 + 6*2) |= ½ | (16 + 30 + 27) - (15 + 72 + 12) |= ½ | 73 - 99 | = ½ | -26 | = 13 km².So the convex hull (triangle) has an area of 13 km². But we need 150 km², so we need to expand this area. One way is to create a buffer around the triangle such that the total area is 150 km². The buffer would add a margin around the triangle, increasing the area to 150 km².The buffer distance can be calculated by solving for the area of the offset polygon. However, calculating the exact buffer distance is complex, but perhaps we can approximate it.Alternatively, since the triangle has an area of 13 km², and we need 150 km², the buffer area needed is 150 - 13 = 137 km². The buffer around the triangle would add a margin of width d, and the area added would be approximately the perimeter times d plus πd² (for the rounded corners). But this is an approximation.The perimeter of the triangle can be calculated as the sum of the distances between the points.Distance between (2,3) and (5,8):sqrt((5-2)^2 + (8-3)^2) = sqrt(9 + 25) = sqrt(34) ≈ 5.83 km.Distance between (5,8) and (9,6):sqrt((9-5)^2 + (6-8)^2) = sqrt(16 + 4) = sqrt(20) ≈ 4.47 km.Distance between (9,6) and (2,3):sqrt((2-9)^2 + (3-6)^2) = sqrt(49 + 9) = sqrt(58) ≈ 7.62 km.Total perimeter ≈ 5.83 + 4.47 + 7.62 ≈ 17.92 km.So, the buffer area added would be approximately perimeter * d + πd² = 17.92d + πd² = 137 km².We can solve for d:17.92d + πd² = 137This is a quadratic equation in d:πd² + 17.92d - 137 = 0Using the quadratic formula:d = [-17.92 ± sqrt(17.92² + 4π*137)] / (2π)Calculate discriminant:17.92² ≈ 321.12644π*137 ≈ 1720.98Total discriminant ≈ 321.1264 + 1720.98 ≈ 2042.1064sqrt(2042.1064) ≈ 45.19So,d = [-17.92 + 45.19] / (2π) ≈ (27.27) / 6.283 ≈ 4.34 kmSo, the buffer distance would be approximately 4.34 km. Therefore, the protected area would be a buffer of ~4.34 km around the triangle formed by the three cultural sites.But this is an approximation, and the exact shape would be a polygon with rounded edges (a buffer zone around the triangle). However, the problem asks for the exact boundaries, so perhaps a more precise answer is needed.Alternatively, since the density is highest at the sites, the optimal region would be a circle around each site, but adjusted to ensure the total area is 150 km² and all sites are included. But without knowing σ, it's hard to define.Wait, maybe the optimal region is the smallest circle that includes all three sites, and then expand it to 150 km². The smallest circle enclosing the three points can be found, and then its radius adjusted to make the area 150 km².The smallest enclosing circle of the three points can be found by determining the circumcircle of the triangle. The circumradius R of a triangle with sides a, b, c is given by R = (a*b*c)/(4*A), where A is the area.We have the sides:a = sqrt(34) ≈ 5.83 kmb = sqrt(20) ≈ 4.47 kmc = sqrt(58) ≈ 7.62 kmArea A = 13 km²So,R = (5.83 * 4.47 * 7.62) / (4 * 13)Calculate numerator:5.83 * 4.47 ≈ 26.0626.06 * 7.62 ≈ 198.3Denominator: 4 * 13 = 52So,R ≈ 198.3 / 52 ≈ 3.81 kmSo, the circumradius is approximately 3.81 km. The area of this circle is π*(3.81)^2 ≈ 45.4 km². But we need 150 km², so we need to increase the radius.Let the new radius be R', such that π*(R')² = 150R' = sqrt(150/π) ≈ sqrt(47.75) ≈ 6.91 kmSo, the protected area would be a circle centered at the circumcenter of the triangle with radius ≈6.91 km. The circumcenter is the intersection of the perpendicular bisectors of the triangle's sides.But calculating the exact circumcenter coordinates is needed. Let me find the circumcenter.Given the three points: A(2,3), B(5,8), C(9,6)First, find the perpendicular bisector of AB and AC.Midpoint of AB: ((2+5)/2, (3+8)/2) = (3.5, 5.5)Slope of AB: (8-3)/(5-2) = 5/3Slope of perpendicular bisector: -3/5Equation of perpendicular bisector of AB: y - 5.5 = (-3/5)(x - 3.5)Similarly, midpoint of AC: ((2+9)/2, (3+6)/2) = (5.5, 4.5)Slope of AC: (6-3)/(9-2) = 3/7Slope of perpendicular bisector: -7/3Equation of perpendicular bisector of AC: y - 4.5 = (-7/3)(x - 5.5)Now, solve these two equations to find the circumcenter.First equation: y = (-3/5)x + (3/5)*3.5 + 5.5Calculate (3/5)*3.5 = 2.1So, y = (-3/5)x + 2.1 + 5.5 = (-3/5)x + 7.6Second equation: y = (-7/3)x + (7/3)*5.5 + 4.5Calculate (7/3)*5.5 = (7/3)*(11/2) = 77/6 ≈ 12.833So, y = (-7/3)x + 12.833 + 4.5 = (-7/3)x + 17.333Now, set the two equations equal:(-3/5)x + 7.6 = (-7/3)x + 17.333Multiply both sides by 15 to eliminate denominators:-9x + 114 = -35x + 260Bring all terms to left:-9x + 114 +35x -260 = 026x -146 = 026x = 146x = 146/26 ≈ 5.615Now, substitute x into first equation:y = (-3/5)(5.615) + 7.6 ≈ -3.369 + 7.6 ≈ 4.231So, the circumcenter is approximately (5.615, 4.231). The circumradius is ≈3.81 km, but we need a radius of ≈6.91 km to get an area of 150 km².Therefore, the protected area would be a circle centered at approximately (5.615, 4.231) with a radius of ≈6.91 km.But let me verify if this circle includes all three sites:Distance from center (5.615,4.231) to (2,3):dx = 2 - 5.615 ≈ -3.615dy = 3 - 4.231 ≈ -1.231distance ≈ sqrt(13.07 + 1.515) ≈ sqrt(14.585) ≈ 3.82 km < 6.91 km. Yes.Distance to (5,8):dx = 5 - 5.615 ≈ -0.615dy = 8 - 4.231 ≈ 3.769distance ≈ sqrt(0.378 + 14.20) ≈ sqrt(14.578) ≈ 3.82 km < 6.91 km. Yes.Distance to (9,6):dx = 9 - 5.615 ≈ 3.385dy = 6 - 4.231 ≈ 1.769distance ≈ sqrt(11.46 + 3.13) ≈ sqrt(14.59) ≈ 3.82 km < 6.91 km. Yes.So, all three sites are within the circle. Therefore, the protected area can be defined as a circle centered at approximately (5.615, 4.231) with a radius of approximately 6.91 km, which gives an area of 150 km².But the problem asks for the exact boundaries, so perhaps expressing it as a circle with center (5.615, 4.231) and radius 6.91 km. However, to be precise, we can express the center as fractions instead of decimals.From earlier, x = 146/26 = 73/13 ≈5.615, y = 4.231, which is approximately 4.231, but let's see:From the equations:First equation: y = (-3/5)x + 7.6Second equation: y = (-7/3)x + 17.333We found x = 146/26 = 73/13 ≈5.615Then, y = (-3/5)*(73/13) + 7.6Calculate:(-3/5)*(73/13) = (-219)/65 ≈ -3.3697.6 = 76/10 = 38/5 = 494/65So, y = (-219/65) + 494/65 = (494 - 219)/65 = 275/65 = 55/13 ≈4.2308So, the center is exactly at (73/13, 55/13). Therefore, the circle is centered at (73/13, 55/13) with radius sqrt(150/π).But sqrt(150/π) is irrational, so we can leave it as sqrt(150/π) or approximate it as 6.91 km.Therefore, the exact boundaries are a circle centered at (73/13, 55/13) with radius sqrt(150/π).But let me check if this is indeed the optimal region. Since the density is highest at the sites, and the circle includes all three sites and has the maximum possible area, it should capture the highest possible population within 150 km².Alternatively, perhaps a different shape, like an ellipse or a polygon, could capture more high-density areas, but without knowing σ, it's hard to say. However, a circle is a common choice for such problems due to its symmetry and simplicity.Therefore, I think the optimal protected area is a circle centered at (73/13, 55/13) with radius sqrt(150/π), which is approximately 6.91 km.So, summarizing:1. A ≈ 5305.16 (assuming σ = 1)2. The protected area is a circle centered at (73/13, 55/13) with radius sqrt(150/π) km.But wait, the problem didn't specify σ, so maybe I should leave A in terms of σ. Let me go back to part 1.If I don't assume σ = 1, then:Total population = A * 3 * 2πσ² = 6πσ²A = 100,000So, A = 100,000 / (6πσ²)But since σ isn't given, I can't compute a numerical value. Therefore, the answer for part 1 is A = 100,000 / (6πσ²)But the problem says "find the value of A", implying a numerical answer. So perhaps σ is given elsewhere, but it's not in the problem. Alternatively, maybe σ is 1, as I assumed earlier.Given that, I think the problem expects σ = 1, so A ≈ 5305.16.Therefore, final answers:1. A ≈ 5305.162. The protected area is a circle centered at (73/13, 55/13) with radius sqrt(150/π) km, which is approximately 6.91 km.

answer：First, I need to determine how much of the 500,000 tax increase will be allocated to each of the three areas: education, healthcare, and public transportation.The allocation percentages are as follows:- Education: 40%- Healthcare: 35%- Public Transportation: The remaining percentageTo find the amount allocated to education, I will calculate 40% of 500,000.Next, for healthcare, I will calculate 35% of 500,000.Finally, to determine the amount for public transportation, I will subtract the percentages allocated to education and healthcare from 100% to find the remaining percentage, and then calculate that percentage of 500,000.

answer：First, I'll calculate the total interview time for each precinct.For the first precinct, there are 4 interviews, each lasting 45 minutes. So, 4 multiplied by 45 minutes equals 180 minutes.In the second precinct, there are 5 interviews, each lasting 30 minutes. Multiplying 5 by 30 minutes gives 150 minutes.For the third precinct, there are 3 interviews, each lasting 50 minutes. This results in 3 times 50 minutes, which is 150 minutes.Next, I'll determine the total setup and note-taking time. She spends 60 minutes at each of the three precincts, so that's 3 multiplied by 60 minutes, totaling 180 minutes.Then, I'll calculate the travel time. She needs to travel between three precincts, which means two travel periods. Each travel period is 15 minutes, so 2 multiplied by 15 minutes equals 30 minutes.Finally, I'll add up all these times: 180 minutes (first precinct) + 150 minutes (second precinct) + 150 minutes (third precinct) + 180 minutes (setup and note-taking) + 30 minutes (travel) equals 690 minutes. Converting 690 minutes to hours gives 11.5 hours.

answer：First, I need to calculate the total cost of the beauty products Yuki purchased. She bought 5 products, each costing 1,200 yen. 5 products × 1,200 yen = 6,000 yenNext, I'll calculate the total cost of the special brushes. She purchased 3 brushes, each costing 800 yen.3 brushes × 800 yen = 2,400 yenNow, I'll add the cost of the beauty products and the brushes to find the total amount Yuki spent.6,000 yen + 2,400 yen = 8,400 yenYuki plans to give away 2 brushes and 2 beauty products. However, since the question asks for the total money she spent, the act of giving away items doesn't reduce the amount she has already spent. Therefore, the total expenditure remains the same.

answer：To determine the total number of parenting tips Emily has, I'll start by identifying the initial number of tips she possesses. Emily has 5 parenting tips.Next, I'll consider the tips she shared with her friends. She shared 3 tips with Sarah and 2 tips with Julie. However, sharing tips doesn't reduce the number of tips she has; it simply means she has shared them with others. Therefore, the total number of tips remains unchanged at 5.Finally, Emily writes down 4 new tips that she plans to share in the future. These are additional tips, so I'll add them to the existing total. Adding 4 new tips to the original 5 gives a total of 9 parenting tips.Thus, Emily now has a total of 9 parenting tips.
