Find a double integral that represents the exposure of a person residing at A(x0, y0). (b) Evaluate the integral for the case in which A is the center of the city and for the case in which A is located on the edge of the city. Where is the risk of infection lower? The edge of the city, or The center of the city?

When studying the spread of an epidemic, we assume that the probability that an infected individual will spread the disease to an uninfected individual is a function of the distance between them. Consider a circular city of radius 41 mi in which the population is uniformly distributed. For an uninfected individual at a fixed point A(x0y0), assume that the probability function is given, d(PA) denotes the distance between P and A.

f(P) = (1/82) * 82 − d(P, A)
 
(a) Suppose the exposure of a person to the disease is the sum of the probabilities of catching the disease from all members of the population. Assume that the infected people are uniformly distributed throughout the city, with k infected individuals per square mile. Find a double integral that represents the exposure of a person residing at A(x0y0).

(b) Evaluate the integral for the case in which A is the center of the city and for the case in which A is located on the edge of the city. Where is the risk of infection lower?
The edge of the city, or The center of the city?
