Q & A
What is the initial dose of the drug mentioned in the script, and how is it calculated?
-The initial dose of the drug is 23 milligrams. It is calculated by plugging in T equals 0 into the given function, which simplifies to 23 times 1, hence the initial dose is 23 milligrams.
What is the percentage of the drug that leaves the body each hour, and why is the common interpretation incorrect?
-The common interpretation that 85 percent of the drug leaves the body each hour is incorrect. The correct interpretation is that 15 percent of the drug remains in the body each hour, which means 85 percent is incorrectly associated with the loss, rather than the remaining amount.
How is the amount of drug remaining in the body after 10 hours calculated, and what is the result?
-The amount of drug remaining after 10 hours is calculated by plugging in T equals 10 into the function. The result is 4.52 milligrams, which is obtained by multiplying 23 by 0.85 to the power of 10.
What is the formula used to calculate the distance between two points in a 3D space, and how is it applied in the script?
-The formula used to calculate the distance between two points in a 3D space is the 3D distance formula: β((x2 - x1)Β² + (y2 - y1)Β² + (z2 - z1)Β²). In the script, it is applied by identifying the coordinates of points A and B and plugging the values into the formula to find the distance between them.
How is the height of station M above the ground determined, and what is its value?
-The height of station M above the ground is determined by identifying the z-coordinate of the midpoint between stations A and B. Since the z-axis represents the vertical direction, the height of station M is the z-coordinate of point M, which is 125 meters.
What is the surface area of a half-cylinder, and how is it calculated in the script?
-The surface area of a half-cylinder includes the curved surface area and the area of the two half-circles at the ends. In the script, the curved surface area is calculated as Οrh, and the area of the two half-circles is calculated as ΟrΒ², with both results being halved because it's a half-cylinder.
What is the angle of depression from point H to point C in the helicopter scenario, and how is it found?
-The angle of depression from point H to point C is 25 degrees. It is found by recognizing that the angle of depression is the same as the angle of elevation when observing point H from point C, which is given as 25 degrees in the script.
How is the distance from point A to point C calculated in the helicopter scenario?
-The distance from point A to point C is calculated using the sine rule, which relates the lengths of sides of a triangle to the sines of its opposite angles. The calculation involves finding the unknown side (AC) using the known angle (25 degrees) and the opposite side (380 meters).
What is the process to determine the location of the new bus stop on the road between two schools, and where should it be located?
-The process involves finding the perpendicular bisector of the line segment between the two schools. The bus stop should be located at the point where this perpendicular bisector intersects the given road, ensuring equal distances from both schools.
How is the equation of the perpendicular bisector found, and what is its final form?
-The equation of the perpendicular bisector is found by first determining the slope of the line segment between the two schools and then finding the negative reciprocal of this slope. Using the midpoint of the segment and the new slope, the point-slope form of the line equation is used to derive the final form of the perpendicular bisector, which is y = -3x + 46.
