Here, ( t ) is measured in hours after 5 A.M., with ( t = 0 ) corresponding to 5 A.M. and ( t = 5 ) corresponding to 10 A.M.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">(a) Integral Expression<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To find the total number of vehicles that arrive at the toll plaza from 6 A.M. (when ( t = 1 )) to 10 A.M. (when ( t = 5 )), we can write the integral expression as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<br>\\int_{1}^{5} A(t) \\, dt = \\int_{1}^{5} 450 \\sqrt{\\sin(0.621t)} \\, dt<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This integral represents the total number of vehicles arriving from 6 A.M. to 10 A.M.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">(b) Average Value of the Rate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The average value of a function ( A(t) ) over the interval ([a, b]) can be calculated using the formula:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<br>\\text{Average value} = \\frac{1}{b &#8211; a} \\int_{a}^{b} A(t) \\, dt<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For our scenario, we will use ( a = 1 ) and ( b = 5 ):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<br>\\text{Average value} = \\frac{1}{5 &#8211; 1} \\int_{1}^{5} 450 \\sqrt{\\sin(0.621t)} \\, dt = \\frac{1}{4} \\int_{1}^{5} 450 \\sqrt{\\sin(0.621t)} \\, dt<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">(c) Increasing or Decreasing Rate at 6 A.M.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To determine whether the rate of vehicle arrival is increasing or decreasing at 6 A.M. (when ( t = 1 )), we can examine the derivative ( A'(t) ).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To find ( A'(t) ), we apply the chain rule:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<br>A(t) = 450 \\sqrt{\\sin(0.621t)}<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Calculating the derivative:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[<br>A'(t) = 450 \\cdot \\frac{1}{2\\sqrt{\\sin(0.621t)}} \\cdot \\cos(0.621t) \\cdot 0.621<br>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Evaluating this at ( t = 1 ):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Calculate ( \\sin(0.621) ) and ( \\cos(0.621) ).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Since ( A'(t) ) depends on ( \\cos(0.621) ), and knowing that the cosine function is positive in the first quadrant (and ( 0.621 ) radians is in this range), we can conclude that ( A'(1) > 0 ).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The integral expression for the total number of vehicles is given by ( \\int_{1}^{5} 450 \\sqrt{\\sin(0.621t)} \\, dt ).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The average arrival rate can be calculated using the average value formula.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Since ( A'(1) > 0 ), the rate at which vehicles arrive at the toll plaza is increasing at 6 A.M., indicating that more vehicles are arriving as time progresses from that point.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, the traffic is becoming denser as the morning progresses, reflecting an increasing rate of vehicle arrivals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>.1.
