Problem 5

A sensor is reading over time, where t0t≥0 is given by: R(t)=500.1tR(t) = 50 - 0.1t, which is written using arbitrary units. A calibration function is: C(x)=2x+10C(x) = 2x + 10, and a safety check computes: S(y)=y40S(y)=\(\sqrt{y-40}\). Determine the set of times tt for which the composed safety reading: (SCR)(t)(S∘C∘R)(t) is defined. Express your answer as an interval(s) of tt.
