Question

Mixing the Fuel Having finalized the container, you are notified by your computer that you need to mix a stabilizer with the fuel to ensure that it survives the time to the spacecraft. The computer provides a readout of the current stabilization level along with minimum and maximum levels of stabilization. An equation, s(t), that models the levels of stabilization over time is also provided. You only need to consider these stabilization levels as t gets very large (approaches 0). s(t) = 16/t Minimum Level of Stabilization: 0.345833 Maximum Level of Stabilization: 0.6125 If the level falls below the minimum allowed level, you need to add more stabilizer. Finally, if the stabilization level is between these bounds, no action is required. What do you do? 1. Add Stabilizer 2. Do Nothing 3. Add Destabilizer Explain, in your own words and with your own work, how you arrived at this result. Be sure to explain using calculus concepts to best support the work of the game design team.

          Mixing the Fuel

Having finalized the container, you are notified by your computer that you need to mix a stabilizer with the fuel to ensure that it survives the time to the spacecraft. The computer provides a readout of the current stabilization level along with minimum and maximum levels of stabilization. An equation, s(t), that models the levels of stabilization over time is also provided. You only need to consider these stabilization levels as t gets very large (approaches 0).

s(t) = 16/t

Minimum Level of Stabilization: 0.345833
Maximum Level of Stabilization: 0.6125

If the level falls below the minimum allowed level, you need to add more stabilizer. Finally, if the stabilization level is between these bounds, no action is required. What do you do?

1. Add Stabilizer
2. Do Nothing
3. Add Destabilizer

00:01 Alright so the only way i could see doing this problem is by drawing the little graph.
00:05 So there's the little graph right there.
00:08 And what you see happening, and i graphed this thing, this is what i graphed.
00:13 So if you notice when you start out at zero, right at time zero, the stabilization is basically at zero.
00:22 So you might have to pour stuff in to get it to be above that minimum, but then it just kind of goes up, and then it comes back down, and after whatever, 10 minutes, 10 hours, 10 days, however long, it hits zero again, and then notice the graph just really starts going down.
00:45 It gets below the minimum by a lot.
00:48 And it just keeps going that way...
