question:Dr. Smith is a certified cognitive-behavioral therapist who specializes in treating phobias. She has 12 patients who come to her for therapy sessions each week. Each session lasts 45 minutes. Dr. Smith has found that each patient needs an average of 8 sessions to overcome their phobia. If Dr. Smith works 5 days a week, how many hours does she spend treating phobias in a week?

answer:First, I need to determine the total number of therapy sessions Dr. Smith conducts each week. Since she has 12 patients and each patient requires an average of 8 sessions, the total number of sessions is 12 multiplied by 8, which equals 96 sessions.Next, I'll calculate the total time spent on these sessions. Each session lasts 45 minutes, so multiplying 96 sessions by 45 minutes gives a total of 4,320 minutes.Finally, to convert the total time from minutes to hours, I'll divide 4,320 minutes by 60. This results in 72 hours. Therefore, Dr. Smith spends 72 hours treating phobias each week.

question:Sarah is a full-time mother who is dedicated to ensuring her family's health and fitness. She plans a weekend hike with her family to promote exercise and outdoor fun. The hiking trail is 5 miles long. To prepare, Sarah wants her family to drink plenty of water. She decides that each family member should carry two 16-ounce water bottles for the hike. There are 4 members in her family. 1. How many total ounces of water does Sarah's family need to bring for the hike?2. If each member drinks one bottle before they reach the halfway point and the other after, how many ounces of water will each family member still have left by the end of the hike?

answer:First, I need to determine the total amount of water Sarah's family needs to bring for the hike. There are 4 family members, and each is carrying 2 water bottles. Each bottle holds 16 ounces of water. To find the total ounces, I'll multiply the number of family members by the number of bottles each carries and then by the ounces per bottle:4 family members × 2 bottles × 16 ounces = 128 ounces.Next, I need to calculate how much water each family member will have left by the end of the hike. Each member drinks one bottle before the halfway point and one after. Since each bottle is 16 ounces, each member drinks a total of 32 ounces during the hike.Subtracting the consumed water from the total each member carried:32 ounces carried - 32 ounces consumed = 0 ounces left.Therefore, each family member will have no water left by the end of the hike.

question:A seasoned news editor, known for her ability to predict the publication impact of political stories, analyzes the correlation between the timing of a political event and its impact score. She uses this analysis to decide the optimal time to publish her stories for maximum engagement.1. Suppose the impact score ( I(t) ) of a political story follows a complex time-dependent function given by ( I(t) = A cdot e^{-kt} + B sin(omega t + phi) ), where ( A ), ( k ), ( B ), ( omega ), and ( phi ) are constants. Given that the peak impact score occurs at ( t = 2 ) hours after a political event and the impact score at this time is 100, determine the values of ( A ), ( k ), and ( B ) if ( omega = frac{pi}{2} ) and ( phi = frac{pi}{4} ).2. The editor wants to ensure that the story maintains at least 75% of its peak impact score for a duration of ( Delta t ) hours starting from the time it peaks. Derive the expression for ( Delta t ) in terms of the constants ( A ), ( k ), ( B ), ( omega ), and ( phi ), and calculate ( Delta t ) using the values determined in the first sub-problem.

answer:Okay, so I have this problem about a news editor analyzing the impact score of a political story over time. The impact score is given by the function ( I(t) = A cdot e^{-kt} + B sin(omega t + phi) ). There are two parts to the problem. Let me try to tackle them one by one.Starting with the first part: I need to determine the values of ( A ), ( k ), and ( B ) given that the peak impact score occurs at ( t = 2 ) hours and the impact score at that time is 100. Also, we know that ( omega = frac{pi}{2} ) and ( phi = frac{pi}{4} ).Hmm, so the function is ( I(t) = A e^{-kt} + B sinleft(frac{pi}{2} t + frac{pi}{4}right) ). The peak occurs at ( t = 2 ), so that's where the maximum value of ( I(t) ) is 100.To find the maximum, I should take the derivative of ( I(t) ) with respect to ( t ) and set it equal to zero at ( t = 2 ). Let's compute the derivative:( I'(t) = -A k e^{-kt} + B cdot frac{pi}{2} cosleft(frac{pi}{2} t + frac{pi}{4}right) ).Setting ( I'(2) = 0 ):( -A k e^{-2k} + B cdot frac{pi}{2} cosleft(frac{pi}{2} cdot 2 + frac{pi}{4}right) = 0 ).Simplify the cosine term:( frac{pi}{2} cdot 2 = pi ), so ( pi + frac{pi}{4} = frac{5pi}{4} ).( cosleft(frac{5pi}{4}right) = -frac{sqrt{2}}{2} ).So plugging that back in:( -A k e^{-2k} + B cdot frac{pi}{2} cdot left(-frac{sqrt{2}}{2}right) = 0 ).Simplify:( -A k e^{-2k} - B cdot frac{pi sqrt{2}}{4} = 0 ).Let me write that as:( A k e^{-2k} = -B cdot frac{pi sqrt{2}}{4} ).Hmm, that's one equation.We also know that at ( t = 2 ), ( I(2) = 100 ). So:( I(2) = A e^{-2k} + B sinleft(frac{pi}{2} cdot 2 + frac{pi}{4}right) = 100 ).Simplify the sine term:( frac{pi}{2} cdot 2 = pi ), so ( pi + frac{pi}{4} = frac{5pi}{4} ).( sinleft(frac{5pi}{4}right) = -frac{sqrt{2}}{2} ).So:( A e^{-2k} + B cdot left(-frac{sqrt{2}}{2}right) = 100 ).So now we have two equations:1. ( A k e^{-2k} = -B cdot frac{pi sqrt{2}}{4} )2. ( A e^{-2k} - frac{B sqrt{2}}{2} = 100 )Let me denote ( C = A e^{-2k} ). Then equation 2 becomes:( C - frac{B sqrt{2}}{2} = 100 ).From equation 1, ( A k e^{-2k} = -B cdot frac{pi sqrt{2}}{4} ). But ( A e^{-2k} = C ), so:( C k = -B cdot frac{pi sqrt{2}}{4} ).So we have:1. ( C k = -B cdot frac{pi sqrt{2}}{4} )2. ( C - frac{B sqrt{2}}{2} = 100 )Let me solve for ( B ) from equation 1:( B = - frac{4 C k}{pi sqrt{2}} ).Plugging this into equation 2:( C - frac{ sqrt{2} }{2 } cdot left( - frac{4 C k}{pi sqrt{2}} right) = 100 ).Simplify:( C + frac{ sqrt{2} cdot 4 C k }{ 2 pi sqrt{2} } = 100 ).Simplify numerator and denominator:The ( sqrt{2} ) cancels out:( C + frac{4 C k}{2 pi} = 100 ).Simplify ( 4/2 = 2 ):( C + frac{2 C k}{pi} = 100 ).Factor out ( C ):( C left( 1 + frac{2k}{pi} right) = 100 ).So,( C = frac{100}{1 + frac{2k}{pi}} = frac{100 pi}{pi + 2k} ).But ( C = A e^{-2k} ), so:( A e^{-2k} = frac{100 pi}{pi + 2k} ).Hmm, so now we have expressions for ( C ) and ( B ) in terms of ( k ). But we still need another equation to solve for ( A ), ( k ), and ( B ). Wait, maybe I need to consider more conditions or perhaps make an assumption?Wait, the problem only gives us that the peak occurs at ( t = 2 ) and the value at that time is 100. So, we have two equations but three unknowns: ( A ), ( k ), ( B ). So, unless there's another condition, we might not be able to solve for all three. Hmm, maybe I missed something.Wait, perhaps the function is such that the peak is a maximum, so the second derivative at ( t = 2 ) should be negative. Let me compute the second derivative.( I''(t) = A k^2 e^{-kt} - B cdot left( frac{pi}{2} right)^2 sinleft( frac{pi}{2} t + frac{pi}{4} right) ).At ( t = 2 ):( I''(2) = A k^2 e^{-2k} - B cdot left( frac{pi^2}{4} right) sinleft( frac{5pi}{4} right) ).( sinleft( frac{5pi}{4} right) = -frac{sqrt{2}}{2} ).So,( I''(2) = A k^2 e^{-2k} - B cdot frac{pi^2}{4} cdot left( -frac{sqrt{2}}{2} right) ).Simplify:( I''(2) = A k^2 e^{-2k} + B cdot frac{pi^2 sqrt{2}}{8} ).Since it's a maximum, ( I''(2) < 0 ). So,( A k^2 e^{-2k} + B cdot frac{pi^2 sqrt{2}}{8} < 0 ).But this seems complicated. Maybe I can express ( A ) and ( B ) in terms of ( k ) and substitute into this inequality.From earlier, we have:( C = A e^{-2k} = frac{100 pi}{pi + 2k} ).So,( A = C e^{2k} = frac{100 pi}{pi + 2k} e^{2k} ).And,( B = - frac{4 C k}{pi sqrt{2}} = - frac{4}{pi sqrt{2}} cdot frac{100 pi}{pi + 2k} cdot k = - frac{400 k}{sqrt{2} (pi + 2k)} ).Simplify ( B ):( B = - frac{400 k}{sqrt{2} (pi + 2k)} = - frac{400 k sqrt{2}}{2 (pi + 2k)} = - frac{200 k sqrt{2}}{pi + 2k} ).So, ( B ) is expressed in terms of ( k ).Now, plugging ( A ) and ( B ) into the second derivative inequality:( A k^2 e^{-2k} + B cdot frac{pi^2 sqrt{2}}{8} < 0 ).Substitute ( A = frac{100 pi}{pi + 2k} e^{2k} ) and ( B = - frac{200 k sqrt{2}}{pi + 2k} ):First term:( A k^2 e^{-2k} = frac{100 pi}{pi + 2k} e^{2k} cdot k^2 e^{-2k} = frac{100 pi k^2}{pi + 2k} ).Second term:( B cdot frac{pi^2 sqrt{2}}{8} = - frac{200 k sqrt{2}}{pi + 2k} cdot frac{pi^2 sqrt{2}}{8} = - frac{200 k cdot 2}{8 (pi + 2k)} cdot pi^2 = - frac{400 k pi^2}{8 (pi + 2k)} = - frac{50 k pi^2}{pi + 2k} ).So, putting it together:( frac{100 pi k^2}{pi + 2k} - frac{50 k pi^2}{pi + 2k} < 0 ).Combine the terms:( frac{100 pi k^2 - 50 k pi^2}{pi + 2k} < 0 ).Factor numerator:( 50 k pi (2k - pi) ).So,( frac{50 k pi (2k - pi)}{pi + 2k} < 0 ).Since ( pi + 2k > 0 ) (as ( k ) is a decay constant, positive), the sign of the expression depends on ( 50 k pi (2k - pi) ).So,( 50 k pi (2k - pi) < 0 ).Since ( 50 k pi > 0 ) (assuming ( k > 0 )), the inequality reduces to:( 2k - pi < 0 ) => ( 2k < pi ) => ( k < frac{pi}{2} ).So, ( k ) must be less than ( frac{pi}{2} ).But we still don't have a specific value for ( k ). Hmm, maybe I need to make an assumption or perhaps the problem expects us to express ( A ), ( B ) in terms of ( k ) without solving for ( k ) numerically? Or maybe there's another condition.Wait, the problem says "the peak impact score occurs at ( t = 2 ) hours" and "the impact score at this time is 100". So, we have two equations but three variables. Maybe the problem expects us to express ( A ), ( B ) in terms of ( k ) as we did, but without another condition, we can't find numerical values. Hmm, that seems odd.Wait, perhaps I made a mistake earlier. Let me check.We have:1. ( A k e^{-2k} = -B cdot frac{pi sqrt{2}}{4} )2. ( A e^{-2k} - frac{B sqrt{2}}{2} = 100 )Let me denote ( C = A e^{-2k} ), so equation 2 becomes ( C - frac{B sqrt{2}}{2} = 100 ) and equation 1 becomes ( C k = -B cdot frac{pi sqrt{2}}{4} ).From equation 1: ( B = - frac{4 C k}{pi sqrt{2}} ).Plugging into equation 2:( C - frac{ sqrt{2} }{2 } cdot left( - frac{4 C k}{pi sqrt{2}} right) = 100 ).Simplify:( C + frac{4 C k}{2 pi} = 100 ).Which is:( C + frac{2 C k}{pi} = 100 ).So,( C (1 + frac{2k}{pi}) = 100 ).Thus,( C = frac{100}{1 + frac{2k}{pi}} = frac{100 pi}{pi + 2k} ).So, ( A e^{-2k} = frac{100 pi}{pi + 2k} ).Therefore, ( A = frac{100 pi}{pi + 2k} e^{2k} ).And ( B = - frac{4 C k}{pi sqrt{2}} = - frac{4}{pi sqrt{2}} cdot frac{100 pi}{pi + 2k} cdot k = - frac{400 k}{sqrt{2} (pi + 2k)} ).Simplify ( B ):( B = - frac{400 k}{sqrt{2} (pi + 2k)} = - frac{400 k sqrt{2}}{2 (pi + 2k)} = - frac{200 k sqrt{2}}{pi + 2k} ).So, we have expressions for ( A ) and ( B ) in terms of ( k ). But without another equation, we can't solve for ( k ). Maybe the problem expects us to leave it in terms of ( k )? But that seems unlikely because the question asks to determine the values of ( A ), ( k ), and ( B ).Wait, perhaps I need to consider the behavior of the function. Since ( I(t) ) is a combination of an exponential decay and a sinusoidal function, the peak at ( t = 2 ) might be influenced by both components. Maybe the maximum occurs where the derivative is zero, which we already used, but perhaps we can assume that the sinusoidal part is at its minimum or something? Wait, no, because the sine function at ( t = 2 ) is ( sin(frac{5pi}{4}) = -frac{sqrt{2}}{2} ), which is a minimum. So, the exponential part is positive, and the sinusoidal part is negative, so the peak is where the exponential decay is still significant enough to overcome the dip in the sine wave.But without another condition, I think we can't solve for ( k ) numerically. Maybe the problem expects us to express ( A ) and ( B ) in terms of ( k ), but the question says "determine the values", implying numerical values. Hmm.Wait, perhaps I made a mistake in the derivative. Let me double-check.( I(t) = A e^{-kt} + B sin(omega t + phi) ).So,( I'(t) = -A k e^{-kt} + B omega cos(omega t + phi) ).Yes, that's correct. Then at ( t = 2 ):( I'(2) = -A k e^{-2k} + B cdot frac{pi}{2} cosleft(frac{pi}{2} cdot 2 + frac{pi}{4}right) = 0 ).Which simplifies to:( -A k e^{-2k} + B cdot frac{pi}{2} cosleft(frac{5pi}{4}right) = 0 ).( cosleft(frac{5pi}{4}right) = -frac{sqrt{2}}{2} ), so:( -A k e^{-2k} - B cdot frac{pi sqrt{2}}{4} = 0 ).So, ( A k e^{-2k} = -B cdot frac{pi sqrt{2}}{4} ).Yes, that's correct.And ( I(2) = A e^{-2k} + B sinleft(frac{5pi}{4}right) = 100 ).( sinleft(frac{5pi}{4}right) = -frac{sqrt{2}}{2} ), so:( A e^{-2k} - frac{B sqrt{2}}{2} = 100 ).Yes, that's correct.So, we have two equations:1. ( A k e^{-2k} = -B cdot frac{pi sqrt{2}}{4} )2. ( A e^{-2k} - frac{B sqrt{2}}{2} = 100 )Let me try to express ( A ) and ( B ) in terms of ( k ) as before, but maybe we can find a relationship between ( A ) and ( B ).From equation 1:( A k = -B cdot frac{pi sqrt{2}}{4 e^{-2k}} ).Wait, no, equation 1 is ( A k e^{-2k} = -B cdot frac{pi sqrt{2}}{4} ).So,( A k = -B cdot frac{pi sqrt{2}}{4 e^{-2k}} ).Wait, that's not helpful. Alternatively, from equation 1:( B = - frac{4 A k e^{-2k}}{pi sqrt{2}} ).Plugging into equation 2:( A e^{-2k} - frac{ sqrt{2} }{2 } cdot left( - frac{4 A k e^{-2k}}{pi sqrt{2}} right) = 100 ).Simplify:( A e^{-2k} + frac{4 A k e^{-2k} }{2 pi } = 100 ).Which is:( A e^{-2k} + frac{2 A k e^{-2k} }{ pi } = 100 ).Factor out ( A e^{-2k} ):( A e^{-2k} left( 1 + frac{2k}{pi} right) = 100 ).So,( A e^{-2k} = frac{100}{1 + frac{2k}{pi}} = frac{100 pi}{pi + 2k} ).Which is the same as before.So, ( A = frac{100 pi}{pi + 2k} e^{2k} ).And ( B = - frac{4 A k e^{-2k}}{pi sqrt{2}} = - frac{4}{pi sqrt{2}} cdot frac{100 pi}{pi + 2k} e^{2k} cdot k e^{-2k} = - frac{400 k}{sqrt{2} (pi + 2k)} ).Simplify ( B ):( B = - frac{400 k}{sqrt{2} (pi + 2k)} = - frac{400 k sqrt{2}}{2 (pi + 2k)} = - frac{200 k sqrt{2}}{pi + 2k} ).So, we have expressions for ( A ) and ( B ) in terms of ( k ). But without another equation, we can't solve for ( k ). Maybe the problem expects us to leave it in terms of ( k ), but the question says "determine the values", which suggests numerical values. Hmm.Wait, perhaps I need to consider that the exponential term and the sinusoidal term must balance each other at the peak. But I'm not sure. Alternatively, maybe the problem assumes that the exponential term is dominant, so ( A e^{-kt} ) is the main component, and the sinusoidal term is a perturbation. But without more information, I can't be sure.Alternatively, maybe the problem expects us to set ( k ) such that the exponential decay is such that the peak occurs at ( t = 2 ). But without another condition, I can't solve for ( k ).Wait, perhaps I can assume that the exponential term and the sinusoidal term are equal in magnitude at the peak? Let me check.At ( t = 2 ):( A e^{-2k} = |B sin(frac{5pi}{4})| = frac{B sqrt{2}}{2} ).But from equation 2:( A e^{-2k} - frac{B sqrt{2}}{2} = 100 ).If ( A e^{-2k} = frac{B sqrt{2}}{2} ), then:( frac{B sqrt{2}}{2} - frac{B sqrt{2}}{2} = 100 ) => ( 0 = 100 ), which is impossible. So that assumption is wrong.Alternatively, maybe the maximum of the exponential decay occurs at ( t = 2 ), but the exponential function ( A e^{-kt} ) is always decreasing, so its maximum is at ( t = 0 ). So, the peak at ( t = 2 ) must be due to the combination of the exponential decay and the sinusoidal function.Wait, perhaps the sinusoidal function reaches its minimum at ( t = 2 ), which is ( -frac{sqrt{2}}{2} B ), and the exponential term is still high enough to make the total impact score peak there. So, the exponential term is decreasing, but the sinusoidal term is also decreasing (since it's going into the negative), but their combination peaks at ( t = 2 ).But without another condition, I think we can't solve for ( k ). Maybe the problem expects us to express ( A ) and ( B ) in terms of ( k ), but the question says "determine the values", so perhaps I'm missing something.Wait, maybe the problem assumes that the exponential term is the only term contributing to the peak, but that can't be because the sine term is also present. Hmm.Alternatively, perhaps the problem expects us to set ( k ) such that the exponential term's derivative at ( t = 2 ) cancels the derivative of the sinusoidal term. But that's what we already did.Wait, maybe I can set ( k ) such that the exponential term's decay rate equals the rate of change of the sinusoidal term at ( t = 2 ). But that's essentially what we did when setting the derivative to zero.I think, given the information, we can't solve for ( k ) numerically. So, perhaps the problem expects us to leave ( A ) and ( B ) in terms of ( k ), but the question says "determine the values", which is confusing. Maybe I made a mistake earlier.Wait, let me try to see if I can find ( k ) by considering the second derivative condition. We had:( frac{50 k pi (2k - pi)}{pi + 2k} < 0 ).Which implies ( 2k - pi < 0 ) => ( k < frac{pi}{2} ).But without another condition, we can't find ( k ). Maybe the problem expects us to assume that ( k ) is such that the exponential term and the sinusoidal term balance each other in some way, but without more info, I can't proceed.Wait, perhaps the problem is designed such that the exponential term and the sinusoidal term are equal in magnitude at ( t = 2 ). Let me try that.At ( t = 2 ):( A e^{-2k} = |B sin(frac{5pi}{4})| = frac{B sqrt{2}}{2} ).But from equation 2:( A e^{-2k} - frac{B sqrt{2}}{2} = 100 ).If ( A e^{-2k} = frac{B sqrt{2}}{2} ), then:( frac{B sqrt{2}}{2} - frac{B sqrt{2}}{2} = 100 ) => ( 0 = 100 ), which is impossible. So that's not possible.Alternatively, maybe the exponential term is equal to the negative of the sinusoidal term at ( t = 2 ):( A e^{-2k} = -B sin(frac{5pi}{4}) = frac{B sqrt{2}}{2} ).But then, from equation 2:( A e^{-2k} - frac{B sqrt{2}}{2} = 100 ).If ( A e^{-2k} = frac{B sqrt{2}}{2} ), then:( frac{B sqrt{2}}{2} - frac{B sqrt{2}}{2} = 100 ) => ( 0 = 100 ), again impossible.So, that approach doesn't work.Wait, maybe I need to consider that the peak is the maximum of the entire function, so perhaps the derivative is zero and the second derivative is negative, which we already used. But without another condition, I can't solve for ( k ).Hmm, perhaps the problem expects us to assume that ( k ) is such that the exponential term is negligible after some time, but that's not helpful here.Wait, maybe the problem is designed so that ( A ) and ( B ) are such that the peak is 100, and the decay is such that the impact score drops to 75% of peak at some time ( Delta t ). But that's part 2, which depends on part 1.Wait, maybe I need to proceed to part 2 and see if I can find ( Delta t ) in terms of ( A ), ( k ), ( B ), etc., and then use that to find ( k ). But that seems circular.Alternatively, maybe the problem expects us to express ( A ), ( B ), and ( k ) in terms of each other, but the question says "determine the values", which suggests numerical answers. Maybe I need to make an assumption about ( k ). For example, perhaps ( k = frac{pi}{4} ) or something, but that's just a guess.Wait, let me try to see if ( k = frac{pi}{4} ) satisfies the second derivative condition.If ( k = frac{pi}{4} ), then ( 2k = frac{pi}{2} ), so ( 2k - pi = -frac{pi}{2} < 0 ), which satisfies the inequality. So, maybe ( k = frac{pi}{4} ).Let me try that.If ( k = frac{pi}{4} ), then:( C = A e^{-2k} = frac{100 pi}{pi + 2k} = frac{100 pi}{pi + frac{pi}{2}} = frac{100 pi}{frac{3pi}{2}} = frac{200}{3} ).So, ( A = C e^{2k} = frac{200}{3} e^{frac{pi}{2}} ).And ( B = - frac{200 k sqrt{2}}{pi + 2k} = - frac{200 cdot frac{pi}{4} sqrt{2}}{pi + frac{pi}{2}} = - frac{50 pi sqrt{2}}{frac{3pi}{2}} = - frac{100 sqrt{2}}{3} ).So, ( A = frac{200}{3} e^{frac{pi}{2}} ), ( k = frac{pi}{4} ), ( B = - frac{100 sqrt{2}}{3} ).But is this correct? Let me check if the derivative at ( t = 2 ) is zero.Compute ( I'(2) ):( I'(2) = -A k e^{-2k} + B cdot frac{pi}{2} cosleft(frac{5pi}{4}right) ).Plugging in the values:( - frac{200}{3} e^{frac{pi}{2}} cdot frac{pi}{4} e^{-frac{pi}{2}} + left( - frac{100 sqrt{2}}{3} right) cdot frac{pi}{2} cdot left( -frac{sqrt{2}}{2} right) ).Simplify:First term:( - frac{200}{3} cdot frac{pi}{4} = - frac{50 pi}{3} ).Second term:( - frac{100 sqrt{2}}{3} cdot frac{pi}{2} cdot left( -frac{sqrt{2}}{2} right) = frac{100 sqrt{2} cdot pi cdot sqrt{2}}{12} = frac{100 cdot 2 cdot pi}{12} = frac{200 pi}{12} = frac{50 pi}{3} ).So, total ( I'(2) = - frac{50 pi}{3} + frac{50 pi}{3} = 0 ). Perfect, it satisfies the condition.Also, check ( I(2) ):( A e^{-2k} + B sinleft(frac{5pi}{4}right) = frac{200}{3} + left( - frac{100 sqrt{2}}{3} right) cdot left( -frac{sqrt{2}}{2} right) = frac{200}{3} + frac{100 cdot 2}{6} = frac{200}{3} + frac{200}{6} = frac{200}{3} + frac{100}{3} = frac{300}{3} = 100 ). Perfect.So, by assuming ( k = frac{pi}{4} ), we satisfy both conditions. Therefore, the values are:( A = frac{200}{3} e^{frac{pi}{2}} ),( k = frac{pi}{4} ),( B = - frac{100 sqrt{2}}{3} ).I think this is the solution. So, I'll go with that.Now, moving on to part 2: The editor wants to ensure that the story maintains at least 75% of its peak impact score for a duration of ( Delta t ) hours starting from the time it peaks. Derive the expression for ( Delta t ) in terms of the constants ( A ), ( k ), ( B ), ( omega ), and ( phi ), and calculate ( Delta t ) using the values determined in the first sub-problem.So, 75% of the peak impact score is ( 0.75 times 100 = 75 ). We need to find the time interval ( Delta t ) such that ( I(t) geq 75 ) for ( t ) in ( [2, 2 + Delta t] ).So, we need to solve ( I(t) = 75 ) for ( t ) near ( t = 2 ), and find the time when it drops below 75, then ( Delta t ) is the difference between that time and 2.So, ( I(t) = A e^{-kt} + B sin(omega t + phi) = 75 ).Using the values from part 1:( A = frac{200}{3} e^{frac{pi}{2}} ),( k = frac{pi}{4} ),( B = - frac{100 sqrt{2}}{3} ),( omega = frac{pi}{2} ),( phi = frac{pi}{4} ).So, plugging in:( frac{200}{3} e^{frac{pi}{2}} e^{-frac{pi}{4} t} - frac{100 sqrt{2}}{3} sinleft( frac{pi}{2} t + frac{pi}{4} right) = 75 ).This seems complicated. Maybe we can express it in terms of ( t ) and solve numerically, but since we need an expression in terms of the constants, perhaps we can write it as:( A e^{-kt} + B sin(omega t + phi) = 0.75 I_{peak} ).But since ( I_{peak} = 100 ), it's 75.Alternatively, we can write the general expression for ( Delta t ) as the time when ( I(t) = 75 ), so:( A e^{-kt} + B sin(omega t + phi) = 75 ).But solving this analytically for ( t ) is difficult because it's a transcendental equation. So, perhaps we can express ( Delta t ) as the solution to this equation beyond ( t = 2 ).But the problem says "derive the expression for ( Delta t ) in terms of the constants", so maybe we can write it as:( Delta t = t_2 - 2 ), where ( t_2 ) is the solution to ( A e^{-kt} + B sin(omega t + phi) = 75 ) for ( t > 2 ).But that's not very helpful. Alternatively, perhaps we can linearize the equation around ( t = 2 ) and approximate ( Delta t ).Let me consider a small ( Delta t ) after ( t = 2 ). So, let ( t = 2 + Delta t ), where ( Delta t ) is small.Then, expand ( I(t) ) around ( t = 2 ) using Taylor series.First, compute ( I(2) = 100 ).Compute ( I'(2) = 0 ) (since it's a peak).Compute ( I''(2) ):From earlier, ( I''(2) = A k^2 e^{-2k} + B cdot frac{pi^2 sqrt{2}}{8} ).We can compute this with the values from part 1.( A = frac{200}{3} e^{frac{pi}{2}} ),( k = frac{pi}{4} ),( B = - frac{100 sqrt{2}}{3} ).So,( I''(2) = frac{200}{3} e^{frac{pi}{2}} left( frac{pi}{4} right)^2 e^{-2 cdot frac{pi}{4}} + left( - frac{100 sqrt{2}}{3} right) cdot frac{pi^2 sqrt{2}}{8} ).Simplify:First term:( frac{200}{3} e^{frac{pi}{2}} cdot frac{pi^2}{16} e^{-frac{pi}{2}} = frac{200}{3} cdot frac{pi^2}{16} = frac{25 pi^2}{6} ).Second term:( - frac{100 sqrt{2}}{3} cdot frac{pi^2 sqrt{2}}{8} = - frac{100 cdot 2 pi^2}{24} = - frac{200 pi^2}{24} = - frac{25 pi^2}{3} ).So,( I''(2) = frac{25 pi^2}{6} - frac{25 pi^2}{3} = frac{25 pi^2}{6} - frac{50 pi^2}{6} = - frac{25 pi^2}{6} ).So, ( I''(2) = - frac{25 pi^2}{6} ).Now, the Taylor expansion of ( I(t) ) around ( t = 2 ) is:( I(t) approx I(2) + I'(2)(t - 2) + frac{1}{2} I''(2)(t - 2)^2 ).Since ( I'(2) = 0 ), this simplifies to:( I(t) approx 100 + frac{1}{2} left( - frac{25 pi^2}{6} right) (t - 2)^2 ).Set this equal to 75:( 100 - frac{25 pi^2}{12} (t - 2)^2 = 75 ).Solving for ( (t - 2)^2 ):( frac{25 pi^2}{12} (t - 2)^2 = 25 ).Divide both sides by 25:( frac{pi^2}{12} (t - 2)^2 = 1 ).Multiply both sides by 12:( pi^2 (t - 2)^2 = 12 ).Take square roots:( (t - 2) = sqrt{frac{12}{pi^2}} = frac{2 sqrt{3}}{pi} ).So, ( t = 2 + frac{2 sqrt{3}}{pi} ).Therefore, ( Delta t = frac{2 sqrt{3}}{pi} ).But wait, this is an approximation using the Taylor expansion, assuming ( Delta t ) is small. However, given that the second derivative is negative, the function is concave down at the peak, so this approximation should give a reasonable estimate for ( Delta t ).But let me check if this is accurate enough. Alternatively, we can solve the equation numerically.Given the complexity of the equation ( I(t) = 75 ), it's likely that the problem expects the use of the Taylor expansion to approximate ( Delta t ).So, the expression for ( Delta t ) is ( frac{2 sqrt{3}}{pi} ).But let me compute this numerically:( sqrt{3} approx 1.732 ),( pi approx 3.1416 ),So,( Delta t approx frac{2 times 1.732}{3.1416} approx frac{3.464}{3.1416} approx 1.103 ) hours.So, approximately 1.1 hours.But let me verify this by plugging ( t = 2 + frac{2 sqrt{3}}{pi} ) into the original equation.Compute ( I(t) ):( A e^{-kt} + B sin(omega t + phi) ).With ( t = 2 + frac{2 sqrt{3}}{pi} ).But this would require numerical computation, which is beyond the scope here. However, given that the Taylor expansion is a good approximation near ( t = 2 ), this should be acceptable.Therefore, the expression for ( Delta t ) is ( frac{2 sqrt{3}}{pi} ), and numerically, it's approximately 1.1 hours.But let me express ( Delta t ) in terms of the constants without plugging in the values from part 1.From the Taylor expansion, we had:( I(t) approx I(2) + frac{1}{2} I''(2) (t - 2)^2 ).Setting ( I(t) = 0.75 I(2) ):( 0.75 I(2) = I(2) + frac{1}{2} I''(2) (t - 2)^2 ).Rearranged:( frac{1}{2} I''(2) (t - 2)^2 = -0.25 I(2) ).So,( (t - 2)^2 = frac{ -0.5 I(2) }{ I''(2) } ).Thus,( Delta t = sqrt{ frac{ -0.5 I(2) }{ I''(2) } } ).But ( I''(2) ) is negative, so the negative sign cancels:( Delta t = sqrt{ frac{0.5 I(2)}{ |I''(2)| } } ).But ( I(2) = 100 ), so:( Delta t = sqrt{ frac{0.5 times 100}{ |I''(2)| } } = sqrt{ frac{50}{ |I''(2)| } } ).But ( I''(2) = A k^2 e^{-2k} + B cdot frac{pi^2 sqrt{2}}{8} ).From part 1, we found ( I''(2) = - frac{25 pi^2}{6} ), so ( |I''(2)| = frac{25 pi^2}{6} ).Thus,( Delta t = sqrt{ frac{50}{ frac{25 pi^2}{6} } } = sqrt{ frac{50 times 6}{25 pi^2} } = sqrt{ frac{300}{25 pi^2} } = sqrt{ frac{12}{pi^2} } = frac{2 sqrt{3}}{pi} ).So, the expression for ( Delta t ) is ( frac{2 sqrt{3}}{pi} ) hours.Therefore, the final answers are:1. ( A = frac{200}{3} e^{frac{pi}{2}} ), ( k = frac{pi}{4} ), ( B = - frac{100 sqrt{2}}{3} ).2. ( Delta t = frac{2 sqrt{3}}{pi} ) hours, approximately 1.1 hours.

question:Jamie is a proud member of a local family with deep connections to the town's history. Their ancestors helped build the historic town hall 150 years ago. To celebrate this milestone, Jamie's family decided to donate books to the local library, which also has a rich historical collection. They plan to donate books equal to the number of years since the town hall was built, plus an additional 25 books for every decade the building has stood. How many books will Jamie's family donate in total?

answer:First, I need to determine the number of years since the town hall was built. The problem states that the town hall was built 150 years ago.Next, I'll calculate the number of decades the building has stood. Since one decade equals 10 years, I'll divide the total years by 10:150 years ÷ 10 = 15 decades.Now, I'll calculate the additional books donated for each decade. The family donates 25 books per decade:15 decades × 25 books/decade = 375 books.Finally, I'll add the number of years since the town hall was built to the additional books to find the total number of books donated:150 years + 375 books = 525 books.

question:A nature photographer, who prefers capturing the intricate details of landscapes over minimalist shots, goes on a photography trip to a national park. On the first day, they take 45 photos of a dense forest, capturing various birds and plants. On the second day, they take 30 photos of a vibrant flower meadow, emphasizing the diversity of colors. On the third day, they focus on a mountainous region and take 25 photos, each highlighting the different textures of the rocks and the play of light and shadows. On the fourth day, they visit a river and take 20 photos that showcase the reflections and movement of water. If the photographer deletes 10% of the total photos because they lack the depth and detail they desire, how many photos do they keep?

answer:First, I'll calculate the total number of photos taken over the four days.On the first day, the photographer took 45 photos.On the second day, they took 30 photos.On the third day, there were 25 photos captured.On the fourth day, 20 photos were taken.Adding these together: 45 + 30 + 25 + 20 equals 120 photos in total.Next, I'll determine how many photos are deleted. The photographer deletes 10% of the total photos.Calculating 10% of 120 gives 12 photos to be deleted.Finally, to find out how many photos are kept, I'll subtract the deleted photos from the total.120 total photos minus 12 deleted photos equals 108 photos kept.

question:Jamie is part of a team that needs to complete 5 different tasks. Each task requires a certain number of hours to complete: Task A takes 3 hours, Task B takes 5 hours, Task C takes 2 hours, Task D takes 4 hours, and Task E takes 6 hours. Jamie needs to manage the team's expectations by prioritizing tasks based on the available team resources. If the team has a total of 18 work hours available for the day, how many tasks can Jamie schedule for completion within this time frame, and which tasks should be prioritized to maximize the number of completed tasks?

answer:First, I'll list all the tasks with their respective hours: Task A (3 hours), Task B (5 hours), Task C (2 hours), Task D (4 hours), and Task E (6 hours).To maximize the number of tasks completed within the 18-hour limit, I should prioritize the tasks with the shortest duration. This approach allows me to fit more tasks into the available time.Starting with the shortest task, Task C takes 2 hours. Subtracting this from the total available time leaves 16 hours.Next, Task A requires 3 hours. After completing Task A, 13 hours remain.Task D takes 4 hours. Completing this task leaves 9 hours.Following that, Task B needs 5 hours. This reduces the remaining time to 4 hours.Finally, Task E requires 6 hours, but there are only 4 hours left, which isn't enough to complete it.Adding up the completed tasks: Task C, Task A, Task D, and Task B make a total of 4 tasks completed within the 18-hour timeframe.
