💡Okay, so I need to find the derivative of the function ( y = (1 + cos 2x)^3 ). Hmm, let's see. I remember from calculus that when you have a function raised to a power, you can use the chain rule to find its derivative. The chain rule involves taking the derivative of the outer function and then multiplying it by the derivative of the inner function.Alright, so the outer function here is something cubed, right? So if I let ( u = 1 + cos 2x ), then the function becomes ( y = u^3 ). The derivative of ( y ) with respect to ( u ) is straightforward—it's just ( 3u^2 ). That part I think I got.Now, I need to find the derivative of the inner function ( u = 1 + cos 2x ) with respect to ( x ). The derivative of 1 is 0, so that part disappears. Then, I have to find the derivative of ( cos 2x ). I recall that the derivative of ( cos kx ) with respect to ( x ) is ( -k sin kx ). So, applying that here, the derivative of ( cos 2x ) should be ( -2 sin 2x ). Let me double-check that—yes, because the chain rule tells me to multiply by the derivative of the inside function, which is 2x, and the derivative of 2x is 2. So, putting that together, the derivative of ( cos 2x ) is indeed ( -2 sin 2x ).So, putting it all together, the derivative of ( u ) with respect to ( x ) is ( -2 sin 2x ). Now, going back to the chain rule, I need to multiply the derivative of the outer function by the derivative of the inner function. That gives me:[frac{dy}{dx} = 3u^2 times (-2 sin 2x)]Substituting back ( u = 1 + cos 2x ), I get:[frac{dy}{dx} = 3(1 + cos 2x)^2 times (-2 sin 2x)]Simplifying that, I multiply the constants first. 3 times -2 is -6, so:[frac{dy}{dx} = -6(1 + cos 2x)^2 sin 2x]Hmm, is there a way to simplify this further? I remember there are some trigonometric identities that might help here. Specifically, the double-angle identity for cosine. The identity is:[cos 2x = 2cos^2 x - 1]So, if I solve for ( 1 + cos 2x ), I get:[1 + cos 2x = 2cos^2 x]That's helpful because I can substitute ( 2cos^2 x ) in place of ( 1 + cos 2x ) in my derivative expression. Let's do that:[frac{dy}{dx} = -6(2cos^2 x)^2 sin 2x]Now, let's compute ( (2cos^2 x)^2 ). Squaring 2 gives 4, and squaring ( cos^2 x ) gives ( cos^4 x ), so:[(2cos^2 x)^2 = 4cos^4 x]Substituting that back in:[frac{dy}{dx} = -6 times 4cos^4 x times sin 2x]Multiplying -6 and 4 gives -24, so:[frac{dy}{dx} = -24cos^4 x sin 2x]I also remember another trigonometric identity for ( sin 2x ). It is:[sin 2x = 2sin x cos x]So, substituting that into the equation:[frac{dy}{dx} = -24cos^4 x times 2sin x cos x]Multiplying -24 and 2 gives -48, and combining the ( cos^4 x ) and ( cos x ) terms gives ( cos^5 x ). So, putting it all together:[frac{dy}{dx} = -48cos^5 x sin x]Let me just recap to make sure I didn't make any mistakes. I started with ( y = (1 + cos 2x)^3 ), applied the chain rule by letting ( u = 1 + cos 2x ), found the derivatives of the outer and inner functions, substituted back, and then used trigonometric identities to simplify the expression. Each step seems to check out, and I don't see any errors in the calculations or substitutions.So, the final derivative is ( -48cos^5 x sin x ). I think that's the simplest form it can take, so I'll go with that as the answer.

💡First, I need to determine how long it takes Kathleen to paint one room alone. I'll denote this time as ( k ) hours.Kathleen's painting rate is ( frac{1}{k} ) rooms per hour, and Anthony's painting rate is ( frac{1}{4} ) rooms per hour since he can paint a room in 4 hours.When they work together, their combined painting rate is the sum of their individual rates:[frac{1}{k} + frac{1}{4}]They are able to paint two rooms together in 3.428571428571429 hours. Using the combined rate, I can set up the equation:[left( frac{1}{k} + frac{1}{4} right) times 3.428571428571429 = 2]Simplifying the equation:[frac{3.428571428571429}{k} + frac{3.428571428571429}{4} = 2]Calculating ( frac{3.428571428571429}{4} ):[frac{3.428571428571429}{4} = 0.8571428571428571]Substituting back into the equation:[frac{3.428571428571429}{k} + 0.8571428571428571 = 2]Subtracting ( 0.8571428571428571 ) from both sides:[frac{3.428571428571429}{k} = 1.1428571428571428]Solving for ( k ) by multiplying both sides by ( k ) and then dividing by ( 1.1428571428571428 ):[k = frac{3.428571428571429}{1.1428571428571428}][k = 3]Therefore, Kathleen can paint a room alone in 3 hours.

💡Okay, so I have this problem about cells dividing, and I need to figure out how long it will take for the number of cells to surpass 10^10. Let me try to break this down step by step.First, the problem says there are currently 100 cells, and about half of them divide once per hour. When a cell divides, it splits into two cells. So, every hour, half of the current cells will double in number, and the other half will remain the same. That means each hour, the total number of cells increases by a factor of 1.5, right? Because half of them stay the same, and the other half double.Let me write that down. If I have N cells at time t, then after one hour, the number of cells will be N + (N/2) = 1.5N. So, the growth factor is 1.5 per hour. This seems like exponential growth, where the number of cells increases by a constant factor each hour.Given that, the formula for the number of cells after x hours should be:Number of cells = Initial number of cells × (Growth factor)^xPlugging in the numbers, that would be:Number of cells = 100 × (1.5)^xWe need to find the smallest x such that the number of cells exceeds 10^10. So, we set up the inequality:100 × (1.5)^x > 10^10To solve for x, I can divide both sides by 100:(1.5)^x > 10^8Now, to solve for x, I need to use logarithms because the variable is in the exponent. Taking the natural logarithm (ln) of both sides:ln((1.5)^x) > ln(10^8)Using the logarithm power rule, which says ln(a^b) = b × ln(a), this simplifies to:x × ln(1.5) > 8 × ln(10)Now, I can solve for x by dividing both sides by ln(1.5):x > (8 × ln(10)) / ln(1.5)Let me calculate the values of the logarithms. I know that ln(10) is approximately 2.302585093, and ln(1.5) is approximately 0.405465108.Plugging these in:x > (8 × 2.302585093) / 0.405465108First, calculate the numerator:8 × 2.302585093 ≈ 18.42068074Now, divide that by 0.405465108:18.42068074 / 0.405465108 ≈ 45.45So, x > approximately 45.45 hours.Since x must be a whole number of hours, we round up to the next whole number, which is 46 hours.Let me double-check my calculations to make sure I didn't make any mistakes. I used the correct logarithm values, and the steps seem logical. Starting with 100 cells, each hour the number increases by 1.5 times. After 46 hours, the number of cells should be just over 10^10.To confirm, I can calculate 100 × (1.5)^46 and see if it's indeed greater than 10^10. But calculating that directly might be cumbersome, so I can use logarithms again to estimate.Taking the logarithm base 10 of both sides:log10(100 × (1.5)^46) = log10(100) + log10((1.5)^46) = 2 + 46 × log10(1.5)I know that log10(1.5) is approximately 0.176091259.So, 46 × 0.176091259 ≈ 8.099Adding the 2 from log10(100):2 + 8.099 ≈ 10.099Which means 100 × (1.5)^46 ≈ 10^10.099, which is indeed greater than 10^10.If I check for 45 hours:log10(100 × (1.5)^45) = 2 + 45 × 0.176091259 ≈ 2 + 7.924 ≈ 9.924So, 10^9.924 is less than 10^10, meaning that at 45 hours, the number of cells is still below 10^10.Therefore, 46 hours is indeed the minimum time needed for the number of cells to surpass 10^10.I think that makes sense. The calculations seem consistent, and the reasoning follows logically. I don't see any errors in my approach, so I'm confident that 46 hours is the correct answer.

💡Okay, so I have this problem about a sector of a circle. The problem says that the arc length is 4 cm, and the area of the sector is 2 cm². I need to find the radian measure of the central angle. The options are A: 1, B: 2, C: 4, D: 1 or 4.Alright, let me recall what I know about sectors. A sector is like a "slice" of a circle, bounded by two radii and an arc. The arc length is the length of that curved part, and the area is the space inside the sector.I remember there are formulas related to sectors. One for the arc length and one for the area. Let me try to remember them. The arc length (let's call it ( s )) is given by the formula:[ s = r theta ]where ( r ) is the radius of the circle, and ( theta ) is the central angle in radians.And the area (( A )) of the sector is:[ A = frac{1}{2} r^2 theta ]So, we have two equations here:1. ( s = r theta )2. ( A = frac{1}{2} r^2 theta )Given in the problem, ( s = 4 ) cm and ( A = 2 ) cm². So, I can plug these values into the equations.Starting with the arc length:[ 4 = r theta ]So, ( r theta = 4 ). Let me note that down.Now, the area:[ 2 = frac{1}{2} r^2 theta ]Simplifying this, multiply both sides by 2:[ 4 = r^2 theta ]Wait, so from the arc length, I have ( r theta = 4 ), and from the area, I have ( r^2 theta = 4 ). Hmm, that's interesting. So both equations equal 4.Let me write them again:1. ( r theta = 4 )2. ( r^2 theta = 4 )If I divide the second equation by the first equation, I can eliminate some variables. Let's try that.Dividing equation 2 by equation 1:[ frac{r^2 theta}{r theta} = frac{4}{4} ]Simplify the left side:[ r = 1 ]And the right side is 1.So, the radius ( r ) is 1 cm.Now that I know ( r = 1 ), I can plug this back into one of the original equations to find ( theta ). Let's use the arc length equation:[ s = r theta ][ 4 = 1 times theta ]So, ( theta = 4 ) radians.Wait, but let me double-check using the area formula to make sure I didn't make a mistake.Using ( A = frac{1}{2} r^2 theta ):[ 2 = frac{1}{2} times 1^2 times theta ]Simplify:[ 2 = frac{1}{2} times 1 times theta ][ 2 = frac{theta}{2} ]Multiply both sides by 2:[ 4 = theta ]So, yes, ( theta = 4 ) radians.But wait, let me think again. The options include 1, 2, 4, or 1 or 4. So, 4 is one of the options, which is C. But why is D an option? It says 1 or 4. Did I miss something?Let me see. Maybe there are two possible solutions? Let me check my equations again.From the arc length:[ r theta = 4 ]From the area:[ r^2 theta = 4 ]If I solve for ( r ) from the first equation:[ r = frac{4}{theta} ]Substitute this into the second equation:[ left( frac{4}{theta} right)^2 theta = 4 ]Simplify:[ frac{16}{theta^2} times theta = 4 ][ frac{16}{theta} = 4 ]Multiply both sides by ( theta ):[ 16 = 4 theta ]Divide both sides by 4:[ theta = 4 ]So, it seems like there's only one solution, ( theta = 4 ). So, why is D an option? Maybe I need to consider if ( theta ) could be something else.Wait, let me think about the equations again. Maybe I can set up a quadratic equation.From the arc length:[ r = frac{4}{theta} ]From the area:[ frac{1}{2} r^2 theta = 2 ]Substitute ( r = frac{4}{theta} ):[ frac{1}{2} left( frac{4}{theta} right)^2 theta = 2 ]Simplify:[ frac{1}{2} times frac{16}{theta^2} times theta = 2 ][ frac{8}{theta} = 2 ]Multiply both sides by ( theta ):[ 8 = 2 theta ]Divide by 2:[ theta = 4 ]Still, only one solution. So, maybe the answer is just 4, which is option C.But wait, let me think about the possibility of another solution. Maybe if I consider negative angles? But in the context of a sector, the central angle is a positive measure, so negative angles don't make sense here.Alternatively, could there be a case where ( r ) is negative? But radius can't be negative either. So, no, I don't think there's another solution.Wait, but let me check my substitution again. Maybe I made a mistake there.Starting from:[ frac{1}{2} r^2 theta = 2 ]And ( r = frac{4}{theta} ), so substitute:[ frac{1}{2} left( frac{4}{theta} right)^2 theta = 2 ][ frac{1}{2} times frac{16}{theta^2} times theta = 2 ][ frac{8}{theta} = 2 ][ 8 = 2 theta ][ theta = 4 ]No, that seems correct. So, only one solution, ( theta = 4 ). So, the answer should be C: 4.But wait, the initial assistant answer said C, but then the user's message said the answer was D: 1 or 4. Maybe I need to check if there's another way to interpret the problem.Wait, maybe I misread the problem. Let me check again.The problem says: "the arc length of a sector is 4 cm, and its area is 2 cm²." So, arc length is 4, area is 2. So, my equations are correct.Alternatively, maybe the problem is in degrees, but the question asks for radians. But no, the question specifies radian measure, so it's in radians.Alternatively, maybe I can set up the equations differently.Let me denote ( theta ) as the central angle in radians.From arc length:[ s = r theta ][ 4 = r theta ]So, ( r = frac{4}{theta} )From area:[ A = frac{1}{2} r^2 theta ][ 2 = frac{1}{2} r^2 theta ]Multiply both sides by 2:[ 4 = r^2 theta ]Now, substitute ( r = frac{4}{theta} ) into this equation:[ 4 = left( frac{4}{theta} right)^2 theta ][ 4 = frac{16}{theta^2} times theta ][ 4 = frac{16}{theta} ]Multiply both sides by ( theta ):[ 4 theta = 16 ][ theta = 4 ]Again, only one solution. So, why is D an option? Maybe the problem is designed to have two solutions, but in reality, only one is valid.Wait, let me think about the quadratic equation approach. Maybe if I rearrange the equations, I can get a quadratic in terms of ( theta ).From ( r = frac{4}{theta} ), substitute into the area equation:[ 4 = left( frac{4}{theta} right)^2 theta ][ 4 = frac{16}{theta^2} times theta ][ 4 = frac{16}{theta} ][ 4 theta = 16 ][ theta = 4 ]Still, only one solution. So, perhaps the answer is C: 4.But wait, let me think again. Maybe I can consider that the area formula can be written as ( A = frac{1}{2} s r ), where ( s ) is the arc length. Let me try that.Given ( A = 2 ) and ( s = 4 ), so:[ 2 = frac{1}{2} times 4 times r ][ 2 = 2 r ][ r = 1 ]So, radius is 1 cm. Then, arc length ( s = r theta ), so:[ 4 = 1 times theta ][ theta = 4 ]Again, same result. So, it seems like the only solution is ( theta = 4 ).Therefore, the answer should be C: 4.But the initial assistant answer said C, but the user's message had D as an option. Maybe the user made a mistake in the options, or perhaps there's a different interpretation.Wait, let me check if I can get another solution by considering the quadratic equation.From the area equation:[ 4 = r^2 theta ]And from arc length:[ 4 = r theta ]So, if I divide the area equation by the arc length equation:[ frac{4}{4} = frac{r^2 theta}{r theta} ][ 1 = r ]So, ( r = 1 ). Then, ( theta = 4 ).No, that doesn't give another solution.Alternatively, maybe if I consider that ( theta ) could be in degrees, but the question asks for radians, so that's not it.Wait, maybe I can set up the equations as:From arc length:[ theta = frac{s}{r} = frac{4}{r} ]From area:[ theta = frac{2A}{r^2} = frac{4}{r^2} ]So, setting them equal:[ frac{4}{r} = frac{4}{r^2} ]Multiply both sides by ( r^2 ):[ 4 r = 4 ][ r = 1 ]Then, ( theta = 4 ).Again, only one solution.So, I think the answer is C: 4.But why is D an option? Maybe the problem is designed to have two solutions, but in reality, only one is valid. Or perhaps I'm missing something.Wait, let me think about the possibility of multiple angles giving the same arc length and area. But in this case, the equations lead to a unique solution for ( r ) and ( theta ).Alternatively, maybe if I consider that the area formula can be written in terms of ( theta ) and ( s ), but I don't think that changes anything.Wait, let me try expressing everything in terms of ( theta ).From arc length:[ r = frac{4}{theta} ]From area:[ 2 = frac{1}{2} r^2 theta ]Substitute ( r ):[ 2 = frac{1}{2} left( frac{4}{theta} right)^2 theta ][ 2 = frac{1}{2} times frac{16}{theta^2} times theta ][ 2 = frac{8}{theta} ][ 2 theta = 8 ][ theta = 4 ]Same result.So, I think the answer is definitely C: 4.Maybe the option D is a distractor, trying to trick you into thinking there are two solutions, but in reality, there's only one.Alternatively, maybe if I consider that ( theta ) could be 1, but let's check.If ( theta = 1 ), then from arc length:[ r = frac{4}{1} = 4 ]Then, area would be:[ frac{1}{2} times 4^2 times 1 = frac{1}{2} times 16 times 1 = 8 ]But the area is supposed to be 2, not 8. So, ( theta = 1 ) doesn't work.Similarly, if ( theta = 2 ), then ( r = frac{4}{2} = 2 ), and area would be:[ frac{1}{2} times 2^2 times 2 = frac{1}{2} times 4 times 2 = 4 ]But area is 2, so that doesn't work either.So, only ( theta = 4 ) gives the correct area.Therefore, the answer is C: 4.

💡First, I need to approximate the values of the two numbers to make the multiplication easier. For (0.000315), I can approximate it to (0.0003) since the additional digits are relatively small and won't significantly affect the result.Next, for (7928564), I can approximate it to (8000000) because this is a round number and simplifies the calculation.Now, I multiply the approximated values:[0.0003 times 8000000]Breaking this down:[0.0003 times 8000000 = 0.0003 times 8 times 10^6]Calculating step by step:[0.0003 times 8 = 0.0024][0.0024 times 10^6 = 2.4 times 10^3 = 2400]So, the approximate value of (0.000315 times 7928564) is 2400.
