🧠:<think>Okay, so I have this problem about water consumption and exponential growth. Let me try to figure it out step by step. First, the problem says that the current water supply is 10 billion cubic meters, and the annual consumption is growing exponentially. The initial consumption is 1 billion cubic meters per year, and it's growing at a rate of 4% per year. I need to find out when the total consumption will equal the current water supply.Hmm, exponential growth model is given by (C(t) = C_0 e^{rt}). So, (C_0) is 1 billion, (r) is 4% which is 0.04, and (t) is time in years. The total consumption over time will add up, right? Wait, actually, hold on. Is (C(t)) the total consumption at time (t), or is it the consumption rate at time (t)? Looking back at the problem, it says "annual water consumption is projected to grow exponentially." So, I think (C(t)) is the consumption rate at time (t). That means the total consumption over time would be the integral of (C(t)) from 0 to (t). But wait, the problem says "total water consumption will equal the current water supply." So, maybe it's not the integral, but just the cumulative consumption? Hmm, this is a bit confusing.Wait, let me read the problem again. It says, "the total water consumption will equal the current water supply of 10 billion cubic meters." So, if the current water supply is 10 billion, and the consumption is growing, we need to find when the total consumption reaches 10 billion. But if (C(t)) is the rate, then the total consumption is the integral of (C(t)) from 0 to (t). So, the total consumption (T(t)) would be:(T(t) = int_{0}^{t} C_0 e^{rt} dt)Which is:(T(t) = frac{C_0}{r} (e^{rt} - 1))So, setting this equal to 10 billion:(frac{1}{0.04} (e^{0.04t} - 1) = 10)Simplify:(25 (e^{0.04t} - 1) = 10)Divide both sides by 25:(e^{0.04t} - 1 = 0.4)Add 1:(e^{0.04t} = 1.4)Take natural logarithm:(0.04t = ln(1.4))Calculate (ln(1.4)). Let me remember, (ln(1) = 0), (ln(e) = 1), and (ln(1.4)) is approximately 0.3365.So, (0.04t = 0.3365)Therefore, (t = 0.3365 / 0.04)Calculate that: 0.3365 divided by 0.04. 0.3365 / 0.04 is the same as 33.65 / 4, which is approximately 8.4125 years.So, about 8.41 years. Let me check my steps again.1. (C(t) = 1 e^{0.04t}) is the consumption rate at time t.2. Total consumption is the integral from 0 to t of (C(t)) dt, which is (frac{1}{0.04}(e^{0.04t} - 1)).3. Set equal to 10: (frac{1}{0.04}(e^{0.04t} - 1) = 10).4. Multiply both sides by 0.04: (e^{0.04t} - 1 = 0.4).5. (e^{0.04t} = 1.4).6. Take ln: (0.04t = ln(1.4)).7. (t = ln(1.4)/0.04 ≈ 0.3365 / 0.04 ≈ 8.4125). So, approximately 8.41 years.Okay, that seems right. So, the answer to part 1 is approximately 8.41 years.Now, part 2. The senator wants to reduce the growth rate to 2% per year. So, new growth rate (r' = 0.02). We need to find the new time (t') when the total consumption reaches 10 billion.Using the same approach:Total consumption (T(t') = frac{1}{0.02}(e^{0.02t'} - 1) = 10)So,(50 (e^{0.02t'} - 1) = 10)Divide both sides by 50:(e^{0.02t'} - 1 = 0.2)Add 1:(e^{0.02t'} = 1.2)Take natural logarithm:(0.02t' = ln(1.2))Calculate (ln(1.2)). I think that's approximately 0.1823.So, (0.02t' = 0.1823)Therefore, (t' = 0.1823 / 0.02 = 9.115) years.So, approximately 9.115 years.Now, the additional time provided by the legislative change is (t' - t = 9.115 - 8.4125 ≈ 0.7025) years.Convert that to months: 0.7025 * 12 ≈ 8.43 months. So, roughly 8.4 months.But the question asks for additional time, so in years, it's approximately 0.7025 years, which is about 0.7 years.Wait, but let me make sure I did everything correctly.First, for part 2, using the same formula:Total consumption (T(t') = frac{C_0}{r'}(e^{r't'} - 1))Set equal to 10:(frac{1}{0.02}(e^{0.02t'} - 1) = 10)Which is (50(e^{0.02t'} - 1) = 10)Divide by 50: (e^{0.02t'} - 1 = 0.2)So, (e^{0.02t'} = 1.2)Take ln: (0.02t' = ln(1.2))Calculate (ln(1.2)): yes, approximately 0.1823.So, (t' = 0.1823 / 0.02 = 9.115) years.Difference: 9.115 - 8.4125 = 0.7025 years.Convert 0.7025 years to years and months: 0.7025 * 12 ≈ 8.43 months, so about 8.4 months.But the question says, "how much additional time does this legislative change provide before the water supply is exhausted compared to the original growth rate?"So, the additional time is approximately 0.7025 years, which is about 0.7 years or roughly 8.4 months.But maybe they want it in years, so 0.7025 years is approximately 0.7 years.Alternatively, to be precise, 0.7025 years is approximately 8.43 months, but since the question doesn't specify, maybe just leave it in years.So, summarizing:1. At 4% growth rate, time to exhaust supply is approximately 8.41 years.2. At 2% growth rate, time is approximately 9.115 years.Difference is approximately 0.705 years, which is about 0.7 years.Wait, let me double-check the calculations.For part 1:(ln(1.4) ≈ 0.3365)(t = 0.3365 / 0.04 = 8.4125). Correct.For part 2:(ln(1.2) ≈ 0.1823)(t' = 0.1823 / 0.02 = 9.115). Correct.Difference: 9.115 - 8.4125 = 0.7025 years. Correct.So, the additional time is approximately 0.7025 years, which is about 0.7 years or 8.4 months.But since the question asks for the additional time, I think it's better to present it in years, so approximately 0.7 years.Alternatively, if they want it in years and months, it's about 8.4 months, but I think in the context of the problem, years is fine.So, to recap:1. Time at 4% growth: ~8.41 years.2. Time at 2% growth: ~9.12 years.Additional time: ~0.71 years.So, the senator's proposal would extend the time by approximately 0.71 years before the water supply is exhausted.I think that's it. I don't see any mistakes in the calculations.</think>

🧠:<think>Alright, so I have this problem about Daisuke Matsuzaka's pitch, and I need to figure out two things: the maximum height the ball reached and the horizontal distance where that happened, and then the horizontal distance from the pitcher to the catcher when the ball was caught at 1 meter. Hmm, okay, let's take it step by step.First, the equation given is a quadratic in the form of ( y = -0.05x^2 + 2x + 1 ). Quadratic equations graph as parabolas, and since the coefficient of the ( x^2 ) term is negative (-0.05), the parabola opens downward. That means the vertex of this parabola will be its highest point, which is exactly the maximum height of the pitch. So, for part 1, I need to find the vertex of this quadratic.I remember that for a quadratic equation in standard form ( y = ax^2 + bx + c ), the x-coordinate of the vertex is given by ( x = -frac{b}{2a} ). Let me write that down:( x = -frac{b}{2a} )In this equation, ( a = -0.05 ) and ( b = 2 ). Plugging those values in:( x = -frac{2}{2 times (-0.05)} )Calculating the denominator first: ( 2 times (-0.05) = -0.1 )So, ( x = -frac{2}{-0.1} )Dividing 2 by 0.1 is 20, and since both numerator and denominator are negative, the negatives cancel out, giving ( x = 20 ) meters. So, the maximum height occurs at 20 meters horizontally from the pitcher.Now, to find the maximum height, I need to plug this x-value back into the original equation to find y. Let's do that:( y = -0.05(20)^2 + 2(20) + 1 )Calculating each term step by step:First, ( (20)^2 = 400 )Then, ( -0.05 times 400 = -20 )Next, ( 2 times 20 = 40 )So, putting it all together:( y = -20 + 40 + 1 )Adding those up: ( -20 + 40 = 20 ), then ( 20 + 1 = 21 )So, the maximum height is 21 meters at 20 meters horizontal distance. That seems pretty high for a baseball pitch, but maybe it's a slowpitch or something? Hmm, but regardless, mathematically that's the result.Okay, moving on to part 2. The ball was caught at a height of 1 meter. So, I need to find the horizontal distance x when y = 1. That means I have to solve the equation:( 1 = -0.05x^2 + 2x + 1 )Let me write that down:( -0.05x^2 + 2x + 1 = 1 )Hmm, to solve for x, I can subtract 1 from both sides to set the equation to zero:( -0.05x^2 + 2x + 1 - 1 = 0 )Simplifying:( -0.05x^2 + 2x = 0 )So, now I have a quadratic equation:( -0.05x^2 + 2x = 0 )I can factor this equation. Let's factor out an x:( x(-0.05x + 2) = 0 )So, setting each factor equal to zero:1. ( x = 0 )2. ( -0.05x + 2 = 0 )Solving the second equation:( -0.05x + 2 = 0 )Subtract 2 from both sides:( -0.05x = -2 )Divide both sides by -0.05:( x = frac{-2}{-0.05} )Dividing two negatives gives a positive, and 2 divided by 0.05 is 40, so:( x = 40 )So, the solutions are x = 0 and x = 40. But x = 0 is the starting point where the pitcher threw the ball, so the catcher must have caught it at x = 40 meters.Wait a second, 40 meters seems really far for a baseball pitch. In real life, baseball fields are much shorter—usually around 18-20 meters from the pitcher's mound to home plate. But maybe this is a different context, or perhaps it's a hypothetical situation with different units? Wait, the problem says x is in meters, so 40 meters is 43.7 yards, which is way beyond a standard baseball field. Hmm, maybe I made a mistake.Let me double-check my calculations. So, starting from y = 1:( 1 = -0.05x^2 + 2x + 1 )Subtract 1:( 0 = -0.05x^2 + 2x )Factor:( x(-0.05x + 2) = 0 )Solutions: x=0 and x=40. Hmm, that seems correct. Maybe in this problem, it's just a very long pitch? Or perhaps I misinterpreted the equation.Wait, let me check the original equation again: ( y = -0.05x^2 + 2x + 1 ). So, the initial height is 1 meter when x=0, which makes sense. Then, as x increases, the height goes up to 21 meters at 20 meters, and then comes back down. So, when it comes back down to 1 meter, it's at x=40. So, yes, that's 40 meters from the pitcher. Maybe it's a different sport or a different context where the field is longer. Or perhaps it's just a math problem, and the units are okay.Alternatively, maybe I should have considered the quadratic equation differently. Let me try solving it using the quadratic formula to see if I get the same result.The quadratic equation is ( -0.05x^2 + 2x + 1 = 1 ), which simplifies to ( -0.05x^2 + 2x = 0 ). Alternatively, I can write it as ( 0.05x^2 - 2x = 0 ) by multiplying both sides by -1, but that doesn't change the roots.But let's use the quadratic formula on the original equation before simplifying. Wait, no, it's better to simplify first because it's easier to factor.Alternatively, if I didn't factor, I could write it as:( -0.05x^2 + 2x = 0 )Multiply both sides by -20 to eliminate the decimal:( (-0.05)(-20)x^2 + 2(-20)x = 0 times (-20) )Which gives:( 1x^2 - 40x = 0 )So, ( x^2 - 40x = 0 )Factor:( x(x - 40) = 0 )So, x=0 or x=40. Same result. So, that seems consistent.Therefore, the horizontal distance from the pitcher to the catcher is 40 meters. Even though that seems long, mathematically, it's correct based on the given equation.So, summarizing:1. The maximum height is 21 meters at 20 meters horizontal distance.2. The catcher caught the ball at 40 meters from the pitcher.I think that's it. I don't see any mistakes in my calculations, so I'll go with that.Final Answer1. The maximum height was boxed{21} meters at a horizontal distance of boxed{20} meters.2. The horizontal distance from the pitcher to the catcher was boxed{40} meters.</think>

🧠:<think>Alright, so I've got these two problems to solve, both related to a factory floor supervisor who's dealing with defective widgets. Let me take them one at a time.Starting with the first problem: The number of defective widgets per shift follows a normal distribution with a mean of 5 and a standard deviation of 2. The supervisor wants to find the probability that a randomly selected shift will have defective widgets between 3 and 7. Hmm, okay, so this is a standard normal distribution problem where I need to find the area under the curve between two points.First, I remember that for a normal distribution, we can convert the values to z-scores to find probabilities using standard normal tables or a calculator. The formula for z-score is (X - μ)/σ, where X is the value, μ is the mean, and σ is the standard deviation.So, for X = 3, the z-score would be (3 - 5)/2 = (-2)/2 = -1. Similarly, for X = 7, it's (7 - 5)/2 = 2/2 = 1. So, we're looking for the probability that Z is between -1 and 1.I recall that the probability between -1 and 1 in a standard normal distribution is approximately 68%, which is the empirical rule. But just to be precise, maybe I should look up the exact values or use a calculator. The cumulative probability for Z = 1 is about 0.8413, and for Z = -1, it's about 0.1587. So, subtracting these gives 0.8413 - 0.1587 = 0.6826, which is approximately 68.26%. That makes sense.So, the probability is roughly 68.26%. I think that's the answer for the first part.Moving on to the second problem: The factory produces 100 widgets per hour on average, and each defective widget reduces the effective production rate by 1% for the subsequent hour. The number of defective widgets each hour follows a Poisson distribution with a mean of 5, and they're independent each hour.The supervisor wants to model the expected production rate over an 8-hour shift. Hmm, okay, so each hour's production rate depends on the number of defective widgets produced in the previous hour. Since defective widgets are identified and isolated at the end of each hour, the effect is only on the next hour.So, let me break this down. Let's denote the production rate at hour t as P_t. The base production rate is 100 widgets per hour. However, each defective widget from the previous hour reduces the production rate by 1%. So, if there are D_{t-1} defective widgets in hour t-1, then the production rate for hour t becomes P_t = 100 * (1 - 0.01 * D_{t-1}).But wait, D_{t-1} follows a Poisson distribution with mean 5. So, the expected number of defective widgets each hour is 5. Therefore, the expected reduction in production rate each hour is 1% * 5 = 5%. So, the expected production rate for each hour would be 100 * (1 - 0.05) = 95 widgets per hour.But hold on, is it that straightforward? Because the production rate each hour depends on the previous hour's defective widgets, which are random variables. So, maybe I need to model the expected production rate over the 8-hour shift considering the dependencies.Let me think recursively. Let's denote E[P_t] as the expected production rate at hour t. For the first hour, there's no prior defective widgets, so E[P_1] = 100.For the second hour, E[P_2] = E[100 * (1 - 0.01 * D_1)] = 100 * (1 - 0.01 * E[D_1]) = 100 * (1 - 0.05) = 95.Similarly, for the third hour, E[P_3] = E[100 * (1 - 0.01 * D_2)] = 100 * (1 - 0.01 * E[D_2]) = 100 * (1 - 0.05) = 95. Wait, but D_2 depends on P_2, which is 95. Hmm, no, actually, D_2 is the number of defective widgets in hour 2, which is independent of P_2, because the defective widgets are identified at the end of each hour. So, the number of defective widgets each hour is independent of the production rate, right?Wait, no, actually, the number of defective widgets is a Poisson process with mean 5, regardless of the production rate. So, even if the production rate changes, the number of defective widgets per hour remains Poisson with mean 5. Therefore, E[D_t] = 5 for all t, regardless of P_t.So, that would mean that each hour, the expected reduction is 5%, so the expected production rate each hour is 95. Therefore, over an 8-hour shift, the expected total production would be 8 * 95 = 760 widgets.But wait, that seems too simplistic. Because the production rate each hour is dependent on the previous hour's defective widgets, which are random. So, maybe the expectation is still linear, and we can just compute it as 8 * 95. Let me verify.Yes, expectation is linear, so even though P_t depends on D_{t-1}, which is random, the expectation of P_t is still 95, because E[P_t] = E[100 * (1 - 0.01 * D_{t-1})] = 100 * (1 - 0.01 * E[D_{t-1}]) = 100 * (1 - 0.05) = 95.Therefore, each hour's expected production is 95, so over 8 hours, it's 8 * 95 = 760.But wait, is there a compounding effect? Because if the production rate is reduced in one hour, does that affect the number of defective widgets in the next hour? Hmm, the problem states that defective widgets are identified and isolated at the end of each hour, and the number of defective widgets each hour follows an independent Poisson distribution with mean 5. So, the number of defective widgets each hour is independent of the production rate. Therefore, the number of defective widgets doesn't depend on the production rate, so the expectation remains 5 each hour.Therefore, the expected production rate each hour is 95, so over 8 hours, it's 760.Wait, but let me think again. If the production rate is reduced, does that affect the number of defective widgets? The problem says each defective widget reduces the production rate by 1% for the subsequent hour. But the number of defective widgets is Poisson with mean 5, independent each hour. So, defective widgets are independent of production rate. Therefore, the expectation of defective widgets is always 5, regardless of the production rate.Therefore, the expected reduction each hour is always 5%, so the expected production rate is always 95 per hour, leading to 760 total.Alternatively, if the number of defective widgets depended on the production rate, then it would be a different story. For example, if more production led to more defects, but in this case, it's given as independent.So, I think the answer is 760 widgets expected over the 8-hour shift.Wait, but let me model it step by step to be sure.Let’s denote:- P_t: production rate at hour t- D_{t}: number of defective widgets at hour tGiven:- P_1 = 100 (since no prior defective widgets)- For t > 1, P_t = 100 * (1 - 0.01 * D_{t-1})- D_t ~ Poisson(5), independent of everything elseWe need to find E[Total Production] over 8 hours, which is E[P_1 + P_2 + ... + P_8]Since expectation is linear, E[Total] = E[P_1] + E[P_2] + ... + E[P_8]We already have E[P_1] = 100For E[P_2], it's E[100 * (1 - 0.01 * D_1)] = 100 * (1 - 0.01 * E[D_1]) = 100 * (1 - 0.05) = 95Similarly, E[P_3] = E[100 * (1 - 0.01 * D_2)] = 100 * (1 - 0.01 * E[D_2]) = 95And this continues for all t from 2 to 8, so E[P_t] = 95 for t = 2,3,...,8Therefore, total expectation is 100 + 7*95 = 100 + 665 = 765Wait, hold on, that's different. Because the first hour is 100, and the next 7 hours are 95 each, so total is 100 + 7*95 = 765.Wait, why did I think it was 8*95 earlier? Because I considered the first hour as 95, but actually, the first hour is 100, and the subsequent 7 hours are 95 each.So, total expected production is 100 + 7*95 = 765.Wait, that makes more sense because the first hour doesn't have any prior defective widgets, so it's at full production. Then, each subsequent hour is reduced by 5% due to the previous hour's defective widgets.Therefore, the expected total production over 8 hours is 765 widgets.I think that's the correct answer. So, summarizing:1. The probability is approximately 68.26%.2. The expected total production over an 8-hour shift is 765 widgets.Final Answer1. The probability is boxed{0.6826}.2. The expected total production is boxed{765} widgets.</think>

🧠:<think>Alright, so I have this problem about using drones to cover a rectangular area for a media outlet. There are two sub-problems here, and I need to figure out both. Let me start with the first one.Sub-problem 1:The area to cover is 5 km by 8 km, so first, I should calculate the total area. That's straightforward: 5 multiplied by 8 is 40 square kilometers. The editor wants at least 95% of this area covered by drones. So, 95% of 40 is... let me compute that. 0.95 times 40 is 38 square kilometers. So, we need the drones to cover 38 square kilometers in total.Each drone covers a circular area with a radius of 1 km. The area covered by one drone is the area of a circle, which is πr². Since the radius is 1 km, that's π*(1)^2 = π square kilometers. Approximately, π is about 3.1416, so each drone covers roughly 3.1416 square kilometers.Now, to find out how many drones are needed, I can divide the required coverage area by the area each drone covers. So, 38 divided by 3.1416. Let me calculate that. 38 / 3.1416 ≈ 12.1. Hmm, so about 12.1 drones. But since we can't have a fraction of a drone, we need to round up to the next whole number. So, 13 drones. Wait, but hold on. Is this the correct approach? Because the drones are covering circular areas, and the region is rectangular. The circles might not fit perfectly into the rectangle, so there could be some inefficiency in the coverage. But the problem says that the coverage areas can overlap, so maybe this isn't an issue. Or perhaps the drones can be arranged in a grid pattern where their circles overlap just enough to cover the entire area. But actually, the problem says "at least 95%" coverage, so maybe 12 drones would cover 12*3.1416 ≈ 37.699 square kilometers, which is just under 38. So, 12 drones would cover about 37.7, which is less than 38. Therefore, we need 13 drones to ensure that we cover at least 38 square kilometers. So, I think 13 is the answer for the first sub-problem.Sub-problem 2:Now, moving on to the second sub-problem. Each drone can take 10 photos per minute and can operate for 2 hours on a single charge. We need to photograph the entire area within 3 hours, and each photo covers 0.01 square kilometers. Also, the photos from different drones shouldn't overlap. First, let's figure out the total area that needs to be photographed. The entire area is 5 km by 8 km, so 40 square kilometers. Each photo covers 0.01 square kilometers, so the total number of photos needed is 40 / 0.01. Let me compute that: 40 divided by 0.01 is 4000. So, 4000 photos are needed in total.Each drone can take 10 photos per minute. How long can each drone operate? It's 2 hours on a single charge. Since the total time allowed is 3 hours, each drone can be used for 2 hours, but if we have multiple drones, we might need to charge them or use them in shifts. Wait, but the problem says "each drone can operate for a maximum of 2 hours on a single charge." It doesn't specify if we can recharge them during the 3 hours. Hmm, the problem says "to ensure that the entire area is photographed within 3 hours," so I think we have to assume that each drone can only be used for 2 hours, and we can't recharge them during the 3-hour window. So, each drone can contribute photos for 2 hours.But wait, if we have more than one drone, maybe we can stagger their operation? Or perhaps all drones start at the same time, but since the total time is 3 hours, each drone can only work for 2 hours, so we might need to have some drones start later? Hmm, this is a bit confusing.Wait, the problem says "all drones start photographing simultaneously." So, all drones begin at the same time, and each can operate for 2 hours. So, if the total time allowed is 3 hours, each drone will be operational for 2 hours, and then they'll stop. So, the total time during which drones are taking photos is 2 hours, but the entire process needs to be completed within 3 hours. So, perhaps the drones can be used for 2 hours, and then maybe some other method is used for the remaining hour? But the problem doesn't specify that. It just says "photographed within 3 hours," so maybe we can assume that all the photos must be taken within the 3-hour window, but each drone can only take photos for 2 hours.Wait, but if all drones start at the same time, and each can take photos for 2 hours, then the total time they contribute is 2 hours. So, if we have multiple drones, they can take photos simultaneously for 2 hours, and then perhaps some drones can be recharged or something? But the problem doesn't mention recharging. It just says each drone can operate for a maximum of 2 hours on a single charge. So, perhaps each drone can only contribute photos for 2 hours, and we need to have enough drones so that the total number of photos taken in those 2 hours is 4000.But wait, the total time allowed is 3 hours. So, if all drones start at the same time, they can take photos for 2 hours, but then we have an extra hour. But since the problem says "photographed within 3 hours," maybe the photos can be taken at any time within that 3-hour window, but each drone can only operate for 2 hours. So, perhaps we can have some drones start later? But the problem says "all drones start photographing simultaneously." So, they all start at the same time, and each can take photos for 2 hours. So, the total time during which photos are being taken is 2 hours, but the entire process must be completed within 3 hours. So, the photos must all be taken within 2 hours, because after that, the drones can't take any more photos. So, the 4000 photos must be taken within 2 hours.Wait, that seems conflicting. Let me read the problem again:"Given that each drone can take high-resolution photographs at a rate of 10 photos per minute and can operate for a maximum of 2 hours on a single charge, what is the minimum number of drones needed to ensure that the entire area is photographed within 3 hours, if each photo covers an area of 0.01 square kilometers? Assume that all drones start photographing simultaneously and that the photos taken by different drones do not overlap."So, the key points are:- Each drone can take 10 photos per minute.- Each drone can operate for 2 hours on a single charge.- All drones start photographing simultaneously.- The entire area must be photographed within 3 hours.- Photos do not overlap.So, the drones start at time zero, and each can take photos for 2 hours. So, the total time they can contribute is 2 hours. But the entire process needs to be completed within 3 hours. So, the photos must be taken within 2 hours, because after that, the drones can't take any more photos. So, the 4000 photos must be taken within 2 hours.Wait, but 2 hours is 120 minutes. Each drone can take 10 photos per minute, so in 120 minutes, one drone can take 10*120 = 1200 photos. So, each drone can take 1200 photos. We need 4000 photos in total. So, the number of drones needed is 4000 divided by 1200. Let me compute that: 4000 / 1200 ≈ 3.333. So, we need 4 drones, since we can't have a fraction of a drone.But wait, let me double-check. If we have 4 drones, each taking 1200 photos, that's 4*1200 = 4800 photos, which is more than enough for the 4000 needed. So, 4 drones would suffice.But hold on, the problem says "photographed within 3 hours." So, if the drones start at time zero and take photos for 2 hours, the total time taken is 2 hours, which is within the 3-hour window. So, 4 drones would be sufficient.Alternatively, could we use 3 drones? 3 drones would take 3*1200 = 3600 photos, which is less than 4000. So, 3 drones wouldn't be enough. Therefore, 4 drones are needed.But let me think again. Is there a way to utilize the extra hour? The problem says the entire area must be photographed within 3 hours, but each drone can only operate for 2 hours. So, if we have some drones start later, maybe we can utilize the extra hour? But the problem says "all drones start photographing simultaneously," so we can't stagger their start times. So, all drones must start at the same time, and each can only operate for 2 hours. Therefore, the total time during which photos are being taken is 2 hours, and the entire process must be completed within 3 hours. So, the photos must all be taken within 2 hours, because after that, the drones can't take any more photos. So, the 4000 photos must be taken within 2 hours.Therefore, the calculation is correct: 4000 photos needed, each drone can take 1200 photos in 2 hours, so 4 drones are needed.Wait, but another thought: since the photos cannot overlap, each photo must cover a unique 0.01 square kilometers. So, the total number of photos is fixed at 4000. So, regardless of how we arrange the drones, we need 4000 photos. Each drone can take 1200 photos in 2 hours, so 4000 / 1200 ≈ 3.333, so 4 drones.Yes, that seems correct.But let me think about another angle. Maybe the drones can take photos for the full 3 hours, but the problem says each can operate for a maximum of 2 hours on a single charge. So, unless they can be recharged during the 3 hours, they can't operate beyond 2 hours. But the problem doesn't mention recharging, so I think we have to assume that each drone can only operate for 2 hours, and then they stop. So, the photos must all be taken within the first 2 hours, which is within the 3-hour window.Therefore, 4 drones are needed.Wait, but let me check the math again. 4 drones, each taking 10 photos per minute, for 120 minutes: 4 * 10 * 120 = 4800 photos. We need 4000, so 4800 is sufficient. 3 drones would give 3*10*120=3600, which is insufficient. So, 4 is the minimum number.So, for sub-problem 2, the answer is 4.But wait, hold on. The problem says "photographed within 3 hours." So, if the drones start at time zero and take photos for 2 hours, the entire process is completed at 2 hours, which is within the 3-hour window. So, yes, 4 drones are sufficient.Alternatively, if we had more drones, we could finish even faster, but since we need the minimum number, 4 is the answer.So, summarizing:Sub-problem 1: 13 drones.Sub-problem 2: 4 drones.Final AnswerSub-problem 1: boxed{13}Sub-problem 2: boxed{4}</think>
