Question 84

The output signal RRR, measured in millivolts, of a high-precision sensor is modeled by the function

R(t)=12tln⁡(4t)t>0 R(t) = 12\sqrt{t} \ln(4t) \quad t > 0 R(t)=12t​ln(4t)t>0

where ttt is the time in milliseconds after the sensor is triggered. The signal is zero at time TTT.

a.

State the value of TTT.

[1]
b.

The signal reaches its minimum value at the point MMM.

Use calculus to find the exact coordinates of MMM.

[5]
c.

Hence find the range of the function S(t)S(t)S(t) where

S(t)=−5R(t) S(t) = -5R(t) S(t)=−5R(t)
