What is the total cost to heat the greenhouse during this 24-hour period?












2












$begingroup$


The temperature outside the greenhouse during a $24$-hour period is given by $F(t) = 22 + 20cos(frac{pi t}{12}), 0 le t le 24$, where $F(t)$ is measured in degrees Fahrenheit and t is measured in hours. Let $t=0$ represent noon on the first day.



d. The heater in the greenhouse kicks on whenever the outdoor temperature is at or below $36$ degrees Fahrenheit. For what values of $t$ is the heater on?



I used a graphing calculator for this part, between $[3.082, 20.962]$.



e. The cost of heating the greenhouse accumulates at a rate of $$0.06$ per hour for each degree the outside temperature falls below $36$ degrees Fahrenheit. What is the total cost to heat the greenhouse during this $24$-hour period?



I'm not really understanding where to start on this problem. My teacher suggested finding the integral difference between $y=36$ and $F(t)$ when the degrees fall under $36$, but I'm confused on what this represents and what to do with it. If anyone could help me understand, that would be much appreciated.



Thank you!

    You can make your integral easier by just considering when $cos{frac{pi t}{12}}$ is not greater than $frac{7}{10}$.

The temperature outside is $$F(t)=22+20cos(frac{pi t}{12})$$ The temperature difference if $Delta T(t)=36-F(t)$, but you only need to consider it if $F(t)lt 36$, or $Delta T>0$. Let's consider a small interval of time $d t$. Since the temperature difference is $Delta T$, the price for this interval is $$0.06Delta T(t) dt$$ You need to add together the prices for all these small time intervals, which means doing the integral.
$$mathrm{Cost}=int_{t_1}^{t_2}0.06(36-22-20cos(frac{pi t}{12}))dt$$
Here $t_1$ is when the temperature dips below 36 degrees, and $t_2$ is when it raises to 36 again.

This question is similar with question 5 from the 1998 Calc AB FRQ . Only the numbers are changed.
So you have found $$tin[3.082,20.962]$$
Then the setup for part e. will be the following:
$$begin{align}
C_{total~cost} &= 0.06int_{3.082}^{20.962}left(36-left[22+20cosleft(frac{pi t}{12}right)right]right)dt\
&=0.06(360.03979)=21.602approx$21.6

    You used a graphing calculator for solving
    $$22 + 20cos(frac{pi t}{12})=36 implies cos(frac{pi t}{12})=frac 7{10}$$ You could have used the approximation
    $$cos(x) simeqfrac{pi ^2-4x^2}{pi ^2+x^2}qquad (-frac pi 2 leq xleqfrac pi 2)$$ making $x=frac{pi t}{12}$, we end then with
    $$frac{144-4 t^2 }{144+t^2}=frac 7{10}implies 47t^2=432implies t=12 sqrt{frac{3}{47}}approx 3.03175$$



    $$C_{total~cost} = frac 6 {100} int_{12 sqrt{frac{3}{47}}}^{24-12 sqrt{frac{3}{47}}}left(36-left[22+20cosleft(frac{pi t}{12}right)right]right)dt$$ making the nice
    $$C_{total~cost}=frac{504 left(47-sqrt{141}right)}{1175}+frac{144 }{5 pi }sin left(sqrt{frac{3}{47}} pi right)$$ We can continue using the magnificent approximation
    $$sin(x) simeq frac{16 (pi -x) x}{5 pi ^2-4 (pi -x) x}qquad (0leq xleqpi)$$ proposed by Mahabhaskariya of Bhaskara I, a seventh-century Indian mathematician (that is to say more than $1400$ years ago)
    $$sin left(sqrt{frac{3}{47}} pi right)simeq frac{16 left(235 sqrt{141}-177right)}{58753}$$
    $$C_{total~cost}=frac{504 left(47-sqrt{141}right)}{1175}+frac{2304 left(235 sqrt{141}-177right)}{293765 pi }approx 21.5912$$ while a completely rigorous calculation would give
    $$C_{total~cost}=frac{72 left(sqrt{51}+7 pi -7 cos ^{-1}left(frac{7}{10}right)right)}{25
    pi }approx 21.6026$$



    I hope and wish that we shall not argue for one cent difference.

                Just for the fun of it.



                You used a graphing calculator for solving
                $$22 + 20cos(frac{pi t}{12})=36 implies cos(frac{pi t}{12})=frac 7{10}$$ You could have used the approximation
                $$cos(x) simeqfrac{pi ^2-4x^2}{pi ^2+x^2}qquad (-frac pi 2 leq xleqfrac pi 2)$$ making $x=frac{pi t}{12}$, we end then with
                $$frac{144-4 t^2 }{144+t^2}=frac 7{10}implies 47t^2=432implies t=12 sqrt{frac{3}{47}}approx 3.03175$$



                $$C_{total~cost} = frac 6 {100} int_{12 sqrt{frac{3}{47}}}^{24-12 sqrt{frac{3}{47}}}left(36-left[22+20cosleft(frac{pi t}{12}right)right]right)dt$$ making the nice
                $$C_{total~cost}=frac{504 left(47-sqrt{141}right)}{1175}+frac{144 }{5 pi }sin left(sqrt{frac{3}{47}} pi right)$$ We can continue using the magnificent approximation
                $$sin(x) simeq frac{16 (pi -x) x}{5 pi ^2-4 (pi -x) x}qquad (0leq xleqpi)$$ proposed by Mahabhaskariya of Bhaskara I, a seventh-century Indian mathematician (that is to say more than $1400$ years ago)
                $$sin left(sqrt{frac{3}{47}} pi right)simeq frac{16 left(235 sqrt{141}-177right)}{58753}$$
                $$C_{total~cost}=frac{504 left(47-sqrt{141}right)}{1175}+frac{2304 left(235 sqrt{141}-177right)}{293765 pi }approx 21.5912$$ while a completely rigorous calculation would give
                $$C_{total~cost}=frac{72 left(sqrt{51}+7 pi -7 cos ^{-1}left(frac{7}{10}right)right)}{25
                pi }approx 21.6026$$



                I hope and wish that we shall not argue for one cent difference.

                      Para el género de plantas, véase Musa (planta). Apolo y la Nueve Musas En la mitología griega, las musas (en griego antiguo μοῦσαι « mousai» ) son, según los escritores más antiguos, las divinidades inspiradoras de las Artes: cada una de ellas está relacionada con ramas artísticas y del conocimiento. Son hijas de Zeus y de Mnemósine, compañeras del séquito de Apolo, dios olímpico de la música y patrón de las bellas artes, quien tuvo romances con cada una de ellas, dejando descendientes. Bajaban a la tierra a susurrar ideas e inspirar a aquellos mortales que las invocaran. En la época más arcaica eran las ninfas inspiradoras de las fuentes, en las cuales eran adoradas. Finalmente, alrededor de los siglos VIII-VII a. C. [ 1 ] ​ prevaleció en todo el territorio de la Hélade la adoración de las nueve Musas, que son Calíope, Clío, Erato, Euterpe, Melpómene, Polimnia, Talía, Terpsícore y Urania. El culto a las musas era originalmente de Tracia y Beocia, y fueron de vital impo
