A crystal growth furnace is used in research to determine how bestto manufacture crystals used in electronic components for the spaceshuttle. For proper growth of the crystal, the temperature must be controlled accurately by adjusting the input power. Suppose the relationship is given by: T(w)=0.1w^2 +2.155w+20 where T is the temperature in degress celcius and w is the powerinput in watts. a. How much power is needed to maintain the temperature at200 degrees celcius? b. If the temperature is allowed to vary from 200 degrees celciusby up to +-1 degree, what range of wattage is allowed for theinput power?

A crystal growth furnace is used in research to determine how bestto manufacture crystals used in electronic components for the spaceshuttle. For proper growth of the crystal, the temperature must be controlled accurately by adjusting the input power. Suppose the relationship is given by:
T ( w ) = 0.1 w 2 + 2.155 w + 20
where T is the temperature in degress celcius and w is the powerinput in watts.
a. How much power is needed to maintain the temperature at200 degrees celcius?
b. If the temperature is allowed to vary from 200 degrees celciusby up to +-1 degree, what range of wattage is allowed for theinput power?

a) Set T(w) = 200 and solve for w.
200 = 0.1 w 2 + 2.155 w + 20
0.1 w 2 + 2.155 w 180 = 0
w = b ± b 2 4 a c 2 a = 2.155 ± ( 2.155 ) 2 4 ( 0.1 ) ( 180 ) 2 ( 0.1 ) 2.155 ± 8.754657332 0.2
Don't take the negative answer because power is always positive.
w 33 watts.
b) Set T(w) to 199 (200 degrees - 1 degree) solve for w. Thenset T(w) to 201 and solve for w.
