Problem

Answer: 0.042 \# 10 Dogs enter a doggie park at a rate of $e(t)=2 t-\sin t$ dogs per hour and they leave the park at a rate of $l(t)=0.1 t^{2}-\cos t+2$ dogs per hour. For $0 \leq t \leq 8$, at what time $t$ are the rates the same?

Solution

Step 1 :Given that dogs enter a doggie park at a rate of \(e(t)=2 t-\sin t\) dogs per hour and they leave the park at a rate of \(l(t)=0.1 t^{2}-\cos t+2\) dogs per hour. We are asked to find the time \(t\) for which the rates are the same in the interval \([0, 8]\).

Step 2 :This means we need to solve the equation \(e(t) = l(t)\) for \(t\). This is a transcendental equation and cannot be solved analytically. We will need to use a numerical method to find the solution.

Step 3 :We can use the bisection method or Newton's method to find the root of the equation \(f(t) = e(t) - l(t) = 0\).

Step 4 :The root of the equation \(f(t) = e(t) - l(t) = 0\) is approximately \(t = 1.71\). This means that the rates at which dogs are entering and leaving the park are the same at \(t = 1.71\) hours.

Step 5 :However, the question asks for the time \(t\) at which the rates are the same, and the answer should be given to three decimal places. So, we round off \(t\) to three decimal places.

Step 6 :Final Answer: The rates at which dogs are entering and leaving the park are the same at \(t = \boxed{1.712}\) hours.
