❓:Donna Summer released her hit single "Hot Stuff" in 1979, which became an iconic song in the disco era. Suppose a Donna Summer superfan has created a documentary that meticulously details her career. The documentary is divided into three sections: Early Years, Disco Era, and Legacy, each represented by a different mathematical function describing the popularity of her music over time.1. The Early Years (1970-1974) popularity (P_1(t)) is modeled by the function:[ P_1(t) = 5t^2 - 3t + 2 ]where (t) is the number of years since 1970.2. The Disco Era (1975-1982) popularity (P_2(t)) is modeled by a sinusoidal function:[ P_2(t) = 20 sinleft(frac{pi}{4}(t-1975)right) + 50 ]3. The Legacy (1983-present) popularity (P_3(t)) is modeled by an exponential decay function:[ P_3(t) = 100e^{-0.1(t-1983)} ]Sub-problem 1: Calculate the total popularity of Donna Summer's music in the year 1979 by evaluating and summing the appropriate functions (P_1(t)), (P_2(t)), and (P_3(t)) at (t = 1979).Sub-problem 2: Determine the year (t) during the Disco Era (1975-1982) at which the popularity (P_2(t)) reaches its maximum value.
🧠:<think>Alright, so I have this problem about Donna Summer's music popularity over different eras, modeled by three different functions. I need to solve two sub-problems. Let me take it step by step.Starting with Sub-problem 1: Calculate the total popularity in 1979 by evaluating and summing the appropriate functions at t = 1979.First, I need to figure out which functions apply to which years. The Early Years are from 1970-1974, modeled by P1(t). The Disco Era is from 1975-1982, modeled by P2(t). The Legacy is from 1983-present, modeled by P3(t). Since 1979 falls within the Disco Era, that means only P2(t) is applicable for that year, right? Wait, hold on. The question says "summing the appropriate functions." Hmm, does that mean I should consider all three functions regardless of the era? Or just the one that's active during that time?Looking back at the problem statement: It says the documentary is divided into three sections, each represented by a different function. So, each era has its own function, and the total popularity at any given year would be the sum of all three functions evaluated at that year. That makes sense because each function represents the popularity contribution from each era. So, even if 1979 is in the Disco Era, the Early Years and Legacy functions still contribute to the total popularity. That seems a bit odd because the Legacy starts in 1983, so before that, maybe the Legacy function isn't active? Hmm, the problem says "the Legacy (1983-present)", so before 1983, P3(t) isn't applicable. So, for 1979, which is before 1983, we shouldn't include P3(t). Similarly, the Early Years are up to 1974, so after that, P1(t) isn't applicable either. So, actually, for 1979, only P2(t) is applicable. Wait, but the problem says "summing the appropriate functions." So maybe each function is defined for all t, but only contributes during their respective eras? Or perhaps the functions are defined piecewise.Wait, let me check the functions again. P1(t) is defined for 1970-1974, P2(t) for 1975-1982, and P3(t) for 1983-present. So, for t=1979, which is in the Disco Era, we should only evaluate P2(t). But the problem says "summing the appropriate functions," which might mean that each era's function is active during their respective times, so for 1979, only P2(t) is active. Therefore, the total popularity would just be P2(1979). Alternatively, maybe all three functions are active, but only P2(t) is contributing significantly, while P1(t) and P3(t) might be zero or something. Hmm, the problem isn't entirely clear on this.Wait, looking back: "the documentary is divided into three sections: Early Years, Disco Era, and Legacy, each represented by a different mathematical function describing the popularity of her music over time." So, each function represents the popularity in their respective era. So, for the Early Years, P1(t) is the popularity, for Disco Era, P2(t), and for Legacy, P3(t). Therefore, to get the total popularity in 1979, which is in the Disco Era, we should only use P2(t). So, maybe the problem is just asking for P2(1979). But the problem says "summing the appropriate functions," which is a bit confusing.Alternatively, perhaps each function is defined for all t, but only contributes during their respective eras. So, for example, P1(t) is only active from 1970-1974, so for t=1979, P1(t) would be zero or something. Similarly, P3(t) is only active from 1983 onwards, so for t=1979, P3(t) would be zero. Therefore, the total popularity would be the sum of P1(t), P2(t), and P3(t), but for t=1979, only P2(t) is non-zero. So, in that case, the total popularity is just P2(1979).But to be safe, maybe I should check all three functions at t=1979 and sum them up, even if some are zero. Let me proceed with that approach.So, let's compute each function at t=1979.First, P1(t) = 5t² - 3t + 2. But since 1979 is outside the Early Years (1970-1974), do we include P1(t)? The problem says "summing the appropriate functions," so maybe only the functions applicable to that year. Since 1979 is in the Disco Era, only P2(t) is applicable. So, maybe the total popularity is just P2(1979). Alternatively, perhaps all three functions are active, but their contributions are as per their definitions. Let me see.Wait, the functions are defined for all t, but their applicability is per era. So, for example, P1(t) is defined for t from 1970-1974, but for t beyond that, it's not contributing. So, in 1979, P1(t) would be zero. Similarly, P3(t) starts at 1983, so before that, it's zero. So, for t=1979, only P2(t) is non-zero. Therefore, total popularity is P2(1979).But to be thorough, let me compute all three functions at t=1979 and see if they make sense.Compute P1(1979):P1(t) = 5t² - 3t + 2But t=1979, which is way beyond the Early Years (1970-1974). So, if we plug t=1979 into P1(t), we get a huge number, which doesn't make sense because the Early Years ended in 1974. Therefore, perhaps P1(t) is only defined for t from 1970-1974, and beyond that, it's zero. Similarly, P3(t) is only defined from 1983 onwards, so before that, it's zero.Therefore, for t=1979, P1(t)=0, P2(t)=20 sin(π/4*(1979-1975)) +50, and P3(t)=0.So, total popularity is just P2(1979).Wait, but the problem says "summing the appropriate functions." So, maybe even if P1 and P3 are zero, we still include them in the sum. So, total popularity = P1(1979) + P2(1979) + P3(1979). But if P1 and P3 are zero, then it's just P2(1979). Alternatively, maybe the functions are defined for all t, but their contributions are only considered during their respective eras. So, for t=1979, we only consider P2(t).I think the safest approach is to assume that each function is only applicable during its respective era, so for t=1979, only P2(t) is applicable. Therefore, total popularity is P2(1979).But to be absolutely sure, let me check the problem statement again: "the documentary is divided into three sections: Early Years, Disco Era, and Legacy, each represented by a different mathematical function describing the popularity of her music over time." So, each section is represented by a function, but the functions are defined for all t, but their applicability is during their respective eras. So, for t=1979, which is in the Disco Era, only P2(t) is contributing. Therefore, total popularity is P2(1979).But just to be thorough, let me compute P1(1979) and P3(1979) as well, even if they might be zero.Compute P1(1979):P1(t) = 5t² - 3t + 2t=1979P1(1979) = 5*(1979)^2 - 3*(1979) + 2That's a huge number, which doesn't make sense because the Early Years ended in 1974. So, perhaps P1(t) is only defined for t from 1970-1974, and beyond that, it's zero. Similarly, P3(t) is only defined from 1983 onwards, so before that, it's zero.Therefore, for t=1979, P1(t)=0, P2(t)=20 sin(π/4*(1979-1975)) +50, and P3(t)=0.So, total popularity is just P2(1979).Let me compute P2(1979):P2(t) = 20 sin(π/4*(t - 1975)) + 50t=1979So, t - 1975 = 4Therefore, P2(1979) = 20 sin(π/4 * 4) + 50Simplify π/4 * 4 = πSo, sin(π) = 0Therefore, P2(1979) = 20*0 + 50 = 50So, total popularity in 1979 is 50.Wait, that seems low. Let me double-check.Wait, the function is P2(t) = 20 sin(π/4*(t - 1975)) + 50So, when t=1979, t-1975=4So, π/4 *4 = πsin(π)=0So, yes, P2(1979)=50But is that correct? Let me think about the sinusoidal function. The general form is A sin(B(t - C)) + D, where A is amplitude, B affects the period, C is phase shift, D is vertical shift.In this case, A=20, B=π/4, C=1975, D=50.The period of the sine function is 2π / B = 2π / (π/4) = 8 years.So, the function completes a full cycle every 8 years.The phase shift is 1975, so the sine wave starts at t=1975.At t=1975, the argument is 0, so sin(0)=0, so P2(1975)=50.At t=1975 + 2 (half period), the argument is π, sin(π)=0, so P2(1977)=50.Wait, that can't be right. Wait, no, the period is 8 years, so half period is 4 years. So, at t=1975 + 4=1979, the argument is π, sin(π)=0, so P2(1979)=50.Similarly, at t=1975 + 2=1977, the argument is π/2, sin(π/2)=1, so P2(1977)=20*1 +50=70.So, the maximum popularity in the Disco Era is 70, achieved at t=1977, and minimum at t=1979 and t=1983, which is 50.Wait, but 1983 is the start of the Legacy era, so maybe the function is only defined up to 1982.Wait, the Disco Era is 1975-1982, so t=1982 is the last year. Let's compute P2(1982):t=1982, t-1975=7So, argument is π/4 *7 = 7π/4sin(7π/4)= -√2/2≈-0.7071So, P2(1982)=20*(-0.7071)+50≈-14.142 +50≈35.858So, the popularity is decreasing towards the end of the Disco Era.But back to 1979, which is in the middle of the Disco Era, and the popularity is 50. That seems correct based on the function.So, total popularity in 1979 is 50.Wait, but the problem says "summing the appropriate functions." If we consider that each era's function is only active during their respective times, then for 1979, only P2(t) is active, so total popularity is 50.Alternatively, if all functions are active but only contribute during their eras, then P1(t) and P3(t) are zero, so total is still 50.Therefore, the answer to Sub-problem 1 is 50.Now, moving on to Sub-problem 2: Determine the year t during the Disco Era (1975-1982) at which the popularity P2(t) reaches its maximum value.So, we need to find the t in [1975,1982] where P2(t) is maximized.Given P2(t) = 20 sin(π/4*(t - 1975)) + 50We know that the sine function reaches its maximum value of 1 at π/2 + 2π*k, where k is integer.So, to find the maximum, we set the argument equal to π/2.So, π/4*(t - 1975) = π/2Solve for t:Multiply both sides by 4/π:t - 1975 = (π/2)*(4/π) = 2Therefore, t = 1975 + 2 = 1977So, the maximum popularity occurs at t=1977.Let me verify this.Compute P2(1977):t=1977, t-1975=2Argument: π/4 *2 = π/2sin(π/2)=1So, P2(1977)=20*1 +50=70Which is indeed the maximum value, as the amplitude is 20, so the maximum is 50+20=70.So, the year is 1977.Therefore, the answer to Sub-problem 2 is 1977.Wait, but let me check if there are any other maxima within the Disco Era (1975-1982). The period is 8 years, so the next maximum would be at t=1977 + 8=1985, which is beyond the Disco Era (ends in 1982). Therefore, the only maximum within the Disco Era is at 1977.So, that's the answer.Final AnswerSub-problem 1: The total popularity in 1979 is boxed{50}.Sub-problem 2: The year of maximum popularity during the Disco Era is boxed{1977}.</think>
❓:As an adventurous food blogger, you are moving abroad to explore international cuisine firsthand. You have decided to visit 12 countries over the course of a year, spending exactly one month in each country. Your journey starts in January and ends in December.1. Each country's cuisine offers a unique set of 10 dishes, leading to a total of 120 dishes throughout your journey. As part of your blog's content plan, you want to create combinations of food pairings using these dishes. For each country, select 3 dishes to feature in a "monthly special" blog post. How many different sets of "monthly special" combinations can you create for the entire year, assuming the order of dishes in each set does not matter and you select 3 dishes from each country's set of 10 dishes?2. Additionally, you plan to write a comprehensive end-of-year review, highlighting the most popular dishes from your journey. You decide to rank your top 10 favorite dishes from the total of 120 dishes sampled. Calculate how many different ways you can rank these top 10 dishes out of the 120 dishes you tried over the year.
🧠:<think>Okay, so I have this problem about an adventurous food blogger who is planning to visit 12 countries over a year, spending one month in each. Each country has 10 unique dishes, making a total of 120 dishes. The blogger wants to create "monthly special" blog posts by selecting 3 dishes from each country. Then, at the end of the year, they want to rank their top 10 dishes out of all 120. I need to figure out how many different sets of monthly specials they can create and how many ways they can rank their top 10 dishes.Starting with the first part: For each country, they need to choose 3 dishes out of 10. Since the order doesn't matter, this is a combination problem. The formula for combinations is C(n, k) = n! / (k! * (n - k)!), where n is the total number of items, and k is the number of items to choose.So for one country, the number of ways to choose 3 dishes from 10 is C(10, 3). Let me calculate that. 10! / (3! * (10 - 3)!) = (10 * 9 * 8) / (3 * 2 * 1) = 120. So each country has 120 possible combinations for their monthly special.But since there are 12 countries, and each country's selection is independent of the others, I need to multiply the number of combinations for each country together. That would be 120^12. Wait, is that right? Because for each country, it's 120 choices, and since each month is independent, it's 120 multiplied by itself 12 times. Hmm, that seems correct.So the total number of different sets of monthly specials is 120 raised to the power of 12. But let me think again. Is it 120^12 or (C(10,3))^12? Since each country has C(10,3) = 120 combinations, and there are 12 countries, it's indeed 120^12. That makes sense because for each country, you have 120 options, and you're making 12 independent choices.Moving on to the second part: Ranking the top 10 dishes out of 120. This is a permutation problem because the order matters here. When ranking, the first place is different from the second, and so on. The formula for permutations is P(n, k) = n! / (n - k)!.So here, n is 120 and k is 10. Therefore, the number of ways is P(120, 10) = 120! / (120 - 10)! = 120! / 110!.But calculating 120! is a huge number, and I don't think I need to compute the exact value unless specified. So, I can leave it in factorial form or express it as 120 × 119 × 118 × ... × 111. That's the product of 10 consecutive numbers starting from 120 down to 111.Let me verify that. Yes, because when you expand 120! / 110!, all the terms from 110! cancel out, leaving 120 × 119 × ... × 111. So that's correct.So, to summarize:1. For each country, the number of ways to choose 3 dishes is 120. Since there are 12 countries, it's 120^12.2. For ranking the top 10 dishes, it's the permutation of 120 dishes taken 10 at a time, which is 120! / 110!.I think that's it. I don't see any mistakes in my reasoning. Each step follows logically, and I applied the correct combinatorial formulas for combinations and permutations.Final Answer1. The number of different sets of monthly specials is boxed{120^{12}}.2. The number of ways to rank the top 10 dishes is boxed{dfrac{120!}{110!}}.</think>
❓:A self-taught musician is using a digital audio workstation (DAW) to produce and distribute music. They aim to optimize the distribution of their music across different streaming platforms to maximize their audience reach and revenue.1. The musician categorizes their listeners into three groups based on their listening preferences: casual listeners, dedicated fans, and niche audience. The probability density function (PDF) of the number of listeners in each group over time (t) (in months) is given by: - Casual listeners: ( f_c(t) = A e^{-Bt} ) - Dedicated fans: ( f_d(t) = C e^{-D(t - T)^2} ) - Niche audience: ( f_n(t) = E sin(Ft) ) Given that the musician wants to maximize the total number of listeners at a specific time (t), find the time (t) at which the number of listeners from all groups combined is maximized. Assume constants (A, B, C, D, T, E, F) are all positive and known.2. The musician decides to distribute their music equally across three major streaming platforms: Platform X, Platform Y, and Platform Z. The revenue generated per listener on each platform follows the functions: - Platform X: ( R_x(n) = G ln(n+1) ) - Platform Y: ( R_y(n) = H sqrt{n} ) - Platform Z: ( R_z(n) = K n^2 ) If the total number of listeners (N) is divided equally among the three platforms, determine the total revenue generated by the musician from all three platforms combined. Assume constants (G, H, K) are all positive and known.
🧠:<think>Okay, so I have this problem about a self-taught musician trying to maximize their audience reach and revenue using a digital audio workstation. It's divided into two parts. Let me try to tackle them one by one.Starting with part 1: The musician has listeners categorized into three groups—casual listeners, dedicated fans, and a niche audience. Each group has a probability density function (PDF) given by different functions of time ( t ) in months. The goal is to find the time ( t ) that maximizes the total number of listeners from all groups combined.The PDFs are:- Casual listeners: ( f_c(t) = A e^{-Bt} )- Dedicated fans: ( f_d(t) = C e^{-D(t - T)^2} )- Niche audience: ( f_n(t) = E sin(Ft) )All constants ( A, B, C, D, T, E, F ) are positive and known.So, the total number of listeners at time ( t ) is the sum of these three functions:[ N(t) = A e^{-Bt} + C e^{-D(t - T)^2} + E sin(Ft) ]To find the maximum, I need to find the value of ( t ) where the derivative of ( N(t) ) with respect to ( t ) is zero, and then confirm it's a maximum.Let me compute the derivative ( N'(t) ):First term: derivative of ( A e^{-Bt} ) is ( -A B e^{-Bt} ).Second term: derivative of ( C e^{-D(t - T)^2} ). Let me set ( u = t - T ), so the function becomes ( C e^{-D u^2} ). The derivative with respect to ( u ) is ( -2 C D u e^{-D u^2} ), and then chain rule gives derivative with respect to ( t ) is ( -2 C D (t - T) e^{-D(t - T)^2} ).Third term: derivative of ( E sin(Ft) ) is ( E F cos(Ft) ).So putting it all together:[ N'(t) = -A B e^{-Bt} - 2 C D (t - T) e^{-D(t - T)^2} + E F cos(Ft) ]To find the critical points, set ( N'(t) = 0 ):[ -A B e^{-Bt} - 2 C D (t - T) e^{-D(t - T)^2} + E F cos(Ft) = 0 ]This equation looks pretty complicated. It's a transcendental equation because it involves both exponential and trigonometric terms. I don't think there's an analytical solution here, so maybe I need to solve it numerically.But wait, the problem says to "find the time ( t ) at which the number of listeners from all groups combined is maximized." It doesn't specify whether an analytical solution is needed or if we can describe the method. Since it's a calculus optimization problem, perhaps the answer is to set the derivative equal to zero and solve for ( t ), but since it's not solvable analytically, maybe we can only express it in terms of the constants.Alternatively, maybe there's a way to analyze the behavior of each function to estimate where the maximum occurs.Looking at each component:1. Casual listeners: ( f_c(t) = A e^{-Bt} ) is a decaying exponential. It starts at ( A ) when ( t = 0 ) and decreases monotonically.2. Dedicated fans: ( f_d(t) = C e^{-D(t - T)^2} ) is a Gaussian centered at ( t = T ). It peaks at ( t = T ) and decreases symmetrically on either side.3. Niche audience: ( f_n(t) = E sin(Ft) ) is a sine wave oscillating between ( -E ) and ( E ). Depending on ( F ), the frequency, it could have multiple peaks.So, the total ( N(t) ) is a combination of a decaying exponential, a Gaussian peak, and an oscillating sine wave.Given that ( f_c(t) ) is decreasing, ( f_d(t) ) peaks at ( T ), and ( f_n(t) ) oscillates, the maximum of ( N(t) ) is likely near the peak of the Gaussian, ( t = T ), but adjusted by the contributions from the other two functions.But since ( f_n(t) ) is oscillating, it might add a peak or trough near ( t = T ). So the exact maximum could be near ( T ), but perhaps a bit before or after depending on the sine term.Alternatively, if ( f_n(t) ) is at a peak when ( t = T ), that could add to the Gaussian peak, making ( t = T ) the maximum. If it's at a trough, it might lower the total.But since the sine function is oscillating, it's possible that the maximum occurs at a point where the sine is at its maximum or minimum, but combined with the Gaussian.This is getting a bit abstract. Maybe I can consider the behavior around ( t = T ).Let me evaluate ( N'(t) ) around ( t = T ):At ( t = T ), the derivative of the Gaussian term is zero because ( (t - T) = 0 ). So the derivative simplifies to:[ N'(T) = -A B e^{-B T} + E F cos(F T) ]So, if ( N'(T) = 0 ), then:[ -A B e^{-B T} + E F cos(F T) = 0 ][ E F cos(F T) = A B e^{-B T} ]If this holds, then ( t = T ) is a critical point. Whether it's a maximum or minimum depends on the second derivative or the behavior around that point.But if ( N'(T) ) is not zero, then the maximum is somewhere else.Alternatively, maybe the maximum occurs at ( t = T ) regardless because the Gaussian is the dominant term. But I can't be sure without more information.Alternatively, perhaps the maximum occurs where the sum of the derivatives is zero, which is the equation I wrote earlier. Since this equation can't be solved analytically, the answer is that the time ( t ) is the solution to:[ -A B e^{-Bt} - 2 C D (t - T) e^{-D(t - T)^2} + E F cos(Ft) = 0 ]But maybe the problem expects a more specific approach. Let me think again.Alternatively, perhaps the maximum occurs at ( t = T ) because the Gaussian is the main contributor, and the other terms are either decreasing or oscillating. So, if we consider that the Gaussian peaks at ( t = T ), and the other terms are either decreasing or adding a periodic component, the maximum total listeners might be near ( t = T ).But without knowing the exact values of the constants, it's hard to say. Maybe the problem expects recognizing that the maximum is at ( t = T ) because that's where the Gaussian peaks, and the other functions don't overpower it.Alternatively, perhaps considering that the sine function can add a positive contribution at ( t = T ), making the total higher there.But I'm not sure. Maybe I should consider the behavior as ( t ) approaches infinity. As ( t ) increases, ( f_c(t) ) tends to zero, ( f_d(t) ) tends to zero, and ( f_n(t) ) oscillates between ( -E ) and ( E ). So the total ( N(t) ) tends to oscillate between ( -E ) and ( E ). But since ( N(t) ) is a sum of positive functions and a sine, which can be negative, but the total listeners can't be negative, so perhaps the minimum is zero.Wait, but the functions ( f_c(t) ) and ( f_d(t) ) are positive for all ( t ), and ( f_n(t) ) can be positive or negative. So the total ( N(t) ) could be positive or negative, but in reality, the number of listeners can't be negative, so maybe the sine function is actually an absolute value or something? Or perhaps it's a model where the niche audience can fluctuate, but the total listeners are the sum, which could go negative, but that doesn't make sense.Wait, maybe the niche audience function is actually ( E |sin(Ft)| ) or something, but the problem states ( E sin(Ft) ). Hmm, that's confusing because listeners can't be negative. Maybe it's a model where the niche audience fluctuates, but the total listeners are still positive. So perhaps the sine function is added as a fluctuation, but the total is always positive because the other terms are positive and dominant.Alternatively, maybe the sine function is a typo, and it's supposed to be a cosine or something else. But as per the problem, it's ( E sin(Ft) ).So, considering that, the total ( N(t) ) can dip below zero, but in reality, listeners can't be negative, so maybe the model is just illustrative.Anyway, going back, the maximum is likely near ( t = T ), but to be precise, we'd have to solve the derivative equation numerically.But since the problem is asking for the time ( t ) at which the number of listeners is maximized, and given that it's a calculus problem, the answer is to set the derivative equal to zero and solve for ( t ). So, the time ( t ) is the solution to:[ -A B e^{-Bt} - 2 C D (t - T) e^{-D(t - T)^2} + E F cos(Ft) = 0 ]But maybe the problem expects a different approach. Let me think again.Wait, the functions are PDFs, which usually integrate to 1 over their domain. But here, they are given as functions of time, so perhaps they represent the density of listeners at time ( t ). So, the total number of listeners at time ( t ) is the integral up to ( t )? Or is it the value at ( t )?Wait, the problem says "the probability density function (PDF) of the number of listeners in each group over time ( t )". Hmm, that's a bit confusing. Usually, a PDF is a function of the variable being measured, but here it's a function of time. So, perhaps it's the density of listeners as a function of time, meaning that the number of listeners at time ( t ) is given by these functions.So, ( f_c(t) ), ( f_d(t) ), and ( f_n(t) ) are the number of listeners at time ( t ) for each group. Therefore, the total listeners ( N(t) ) is the sum of these three functions.So, to maximize ( N(t) ), we need to find ( t ) where ( N(t) ) is maximum, which is where the derivative ( N'(t) ) is zero.So, as I derived earlier, the critical point is where:[ -A B e^{-Bt} - 2 C D (t - T) e^{-D(t - T)^2} + E F cos(Ft) = 0 ]This equation likely doesn't have an analytical solution, so the answer is that ( t ) is the solution to this equation. But maybe the problem expects recognizing that the maximum occurs at ( t = T ) because that's where the Gaussian peaks, and the other terms are either decreasing or oscillating but not overpowering the Gaussian.Alternatively, perhaps the sine term can be ignored if ( E ) is small compared to the other terms, but the problem doesn't specify that.Alternatively, maybe the maximum occurs at ( t = T ) because the Gaussian is the dominant term, and the other terms are either decreasing or oscillating but not contributing a significant peak.But without knowing the constants, it's hard to say. So, perhaps the answer is that the time ( t ) is ( T ), the peak of the Gaussian.But wait, the sine term could add a positive contribution at ( t = T ), making the total higher there. Or it could subtract. So, depending on the phase of the sine wave at ( t = T ), it could be a maximum or not.But since the problem states that all constants are positive and known, maybe we can assume that the sine term is at its maximum at ( t = T ), meaning ( sin(F T) = 1 ), so ( F T = pi/2 + 2pi k ), but that's an assumption.Alternatively, maybe the problem expects recognizing that the maximum is at ( t = T ) because that's where the Gaussian peaks, and the other terms are either decreasing or oscillating but not contributing a higher peak.So, perhaps the answer is ( t = T ).But I'm not entirely sure. Let me check the behavior of each term:- ( f_c(t) ) is decreasing.- ( f_d(t) ) peaks at ( t = T ).- ( f_n(t) ) oscillates.So, near ( t = T ), ( f_d(t) ) is at its maximum, ( f_c(t) ) is decreasing, and ( f_n(t) ) could be adding or subtracting.If the sine term is positive at ( t = T ), then the total ( N(t) ) would be higher there. If it's negative, it would be lower.But since the problem is asking for the time to maximize the total listeners, and without knowing the phase of the sine wave, perhaps the maximum occurs at ( t = T ) because that's where the Gaussian peaks, and the sine term could be adding to it.Alternatively, maybe the maximum occurs slightly before or after ( t = T ) depending on the sine term.But since the problem is likely expecting a specific answer, and given that the Gaussian is a strong peak, I think the maximum occurs at ( t = T ).So, for part 1, the time ( t ) that maximizes the total number of listeners is ( t = T ).Now, moving on to part 2: The musician distributes their music equally across three platforms: X, Y, Z. The revenue per listener on each platform is given by:- Platform X: ( R_x(n) = G ln(n+1) )- Platform Y: ( R_y(n) = H sqrt{n} )- Platform Z: ( R_z(n) = K n^2 )The total number of listeners ( N ) is divided equally among the three platforms, so each platform gets ( n = N/3 ) listeners.We need to find the total revenue from all three platforms combined.So, the revenue from each platform is:- Platform X: ( R_x = G ln((N/3) + 1) )- Platform Y: ( R_y = H sqrt{N/3} )- Platform Z: ( R_z = K (N/3)^2 )Therefore, the total revenue ( R ) is:[ R = G lnleft(frac{N}{3} + 1right) + H sqrt{frac{N}{3}} + K left(frac{N}{3}right)^2 ]Simplifying each term:- ( lnleft(frac{N}{3} + 1right) ) remains as is.- ( sqrt{frac{N}{3}} = frac{sqrt{N}}{sqrt{3}} )- ( left(frac{N}{3}right)^2 = frac{N^2}{9} )So, the total revenue is:[ R = G lnleft(frac{N}{3} + 1right) + frac{H sqrt{N}}{sqrt{3}} + frac{K N^2}{9} ]Alternatively, we can factor out constants:[ R = G lnleft(frac{N + 3}{3}right) + frac{H}{sqrt{3}} sqrt{N} + frac{K}{9} N^2 ]But I think the first expression is sufficient.So, putting it all together, the total revenue is the sum of the revenues from each platform, each evaluated at ( n = N/3 ).Therefore, the total revenue is:[ R = G lnleft(frac{N}{3} + 1right) + H sqrt{frac{N}{3}} + K left(frac{N}{3}right)^2 ]I think that's the final expression.Wait, but the problem says "the total number of listeners ( N ) is divided equally among the three platforms." So, each platform gets ( N/3 ) listeners. So, the revenue from each platform is as I wrote.Yes, that seems correct.So, summarizing:1. The time ( t ) that maximizes the total number of listeners is ( t = T ).2. The total revenue is ( G lnleft(frac{N}{3} + 1right) + H sqrt{frac{N}{3}} + K left(frac{N}{3}right)^2 ).But wait, for part 1, I'm not 100% sure if ( t = T ) is the correct answer because the sine term could affect it. However, given the problem's context, it's likely expecting ( t = T ) as the answer.For part 2, the total revenue is the sum of the individual revenues, each calculated at ( N/3 ).So, I think that's it.</think>
❓:Inspired by their older sibling's dedication to preserving their Indigenous language, a younger sibling decides to document and analyze the phonetic structure of their language. They discover that their language has a unique system of vowel harmony, where certain vowels can only appear in specific patterns within words.1. Suppose the language has 5 distinct vowels: A, E, I, O, and U. A word in this language is considered harmonious if it follows one of the two patterns: - Pattern 1: A word can contain only vowels from the set {A, E, I}. - Pattern 2: A word can contain only vowels from the set {O, U}. If a word is 7 letters long, how many possible harmonious words can be formed?2. Further, the younger sibling finds that the number of syllables in a word significantly affects how frequently the word is used in daily communication. They categorize words into two groups: single-syllable words and multi-syllable words. They define a function ( f(n) ), where ( n ) is the length of the word, representing the probability that the word is single-syllable. The function is given by: [ f(n) = frac{1}{2^n} ] Given that the language has 100 different 5-letter words, calculate the expected number of single-syllable words among them.
🧠:<think>Alright, so I have these two problems to solve, both related to the phonetic structure of an Indigenous language. Let me tackle them one by one.Starting with the first problem:1. The language has 5 distinct vowels: A, E, I, O, and U. A word is harmonious if it follows one of two patterns: - Pattern 1: Only vowels from {A, E, I}. - Pattern 2: Only vowels from {O, U}. The word is 7 letters long. I need to find how many possible harmonious words can be formed.Hmm, okay. So, each position in the 7-letter word can be a vowel, right? But the vowels have to follow one of the two patterns. So, either all vowels are from {A, E, I} or all are from {O, U}.Let me break it down. For Pattern 1, each of the 7 positions can be A, E, or I. That's 3 choices per letter. So, the number of words for Pattern 1 would be 3^7.Similarly, for Pattern 2, each of the 7 positions can be O or U. That's 2 choices per letter. So, the number of words for Pattern 2 would be 2^7.But wait, do these two patterns overlap? That is, is there any word that could be in both Pattern 1 and Pattern 2? Well, since Pattern 1 uses {A, E, I} and Pattern 2 uses {O, U}, there's no overlap because the vowels are distinct. So, the total number of harmonious words is just the sum of the two.So, total harmonious words = 3^7 + 2^7.Let me compute that.First, 3^7: 3*3=9, 9*3=27, 27*3=81, 81*3=243, 243*3=729, 729*3=2187. Wait, no, 3^7 is 3 multiplied by itself 7 times. Let me calculate step by step:3^1 = 33^2 = 93^3 = 273^4 = 813^5 = 2433^6 = 7293^7 = 2187Okay, so 3^7 is 2187.Now, 2^7: 2*2=4, 4*2=8, 8*2=16, 16*2=32, 32*2=64, 64*2=128. So, 2^7 is 128.Therefore, total harmonious words = 2187 + 128 = 2315.Wait, let me check that addition: 2187 + 128. 2187 + 100 is 2287, then +28 is 2315. Yeah, that seems right.So, the answer to the first problem is 2315 possible harmonious words.Moving on to the second problem:2. The younger sibling defines a function f(n) = 1/(2^n), which is the probability that a word of length n is single-syllable. Given that the language has 100 different 5-letter words, calculate the expected number of single-syllable words among them.Alright, so for each 5-letter word, the probability that it's single-syllable is f(5) = 1/(2^5) = 1/32.Since there are 100 different 5-letter words, the expected number of single-syllable words is 100 * (1/32).Calculating that: 100 divided by 32. Let me compute that.32 goes into 100 three times (32*3=96), with a remainder of 4. So, 100/32 = 3 + 4/32 = 3 + 1/8 = 3.125.So, the expected number is 3.125.But since we're talking about the expected number, it can be a fractional value, even though the actual number of words must be an integer. So, 3.125 is acceptable as the expectation.Alternatively, 3.125 can be expressed as a fraction: 25/8, but 3.125 is probably fine.Wait, let me verify the function. The function is f(n) = 1/(2^n). So, for n=5, f(5)=1/32. So, each word has a 1/32 chance of being single-syllable.Therefore, expectation is 100*(1/32) = 100/32 = 25/8 = 3.125.Yes, that seems correct.So, the expected number is 3.125.But just to make sure, expectation is linear, so even if the words are dependent in some way, the expectation would still be the sum of individual expectations. Since each word contributes 1/32 to the expectation, 100 words contribute 100*(1/32). So, yes, that's correct.Therefore, the answers are 2315 and 3.125.Final Answer1. The number of possible harmonious words is boxed{2315}.2. The expected number of single-syllable words is boxed{3.125}.</think>
