A commercial apple grower estimates from past records that if 50 trees are planted per acre, then each tree will yield an average of 70 pounds of apples per season. If, for each additional tree planted per acre (up to 30), the average yield is reduced by 1 pound, how many trees should be planted per acre to obtain the maximum yield per acre? What is the maximum yield?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

i) 60 trees

ii) 3600 apples

Step-by-step explanation:

50 trees per acre

Total pounds produced per acre ( ideally ) = 70 * 50 = 3500 pounds

Assumption :

lets assume the additional tree = X

Therefore the number of trees planted per acre = ( 50 + x )  where x ≤ 30

calculate average yield per tree =   ( 70 - x )

Total yield per acre = number of trees * average yield per tree

                                 = ( 50 + x ) * ( 70 - x )

                           Y(x)   =  3500 + 20x - x^2

i) Number of trees that should be planted per acre to obtain maximum yield per acre

y'(x) = 20 - 2x = 0   hence X ( number of additional trees ) = 20 / 2 = 10

Number of trees that should be planted per acre = 50 + 10 = 60 trees

ii) Calculate maximum yield

where ; X = 10

number of trees planted per acre = ( 50 + x ) = 50 + 10 = 60

hence maximum yield  = ( 50 + x ) * ( 70 - x ) = ( 60 ) * ( 60 ) = 3600 apples

- Show how you convert the average speed to mis. Show your set up and answer.

Answers

Answer:

V_avg = 0.5556 miles/min

V_avg = 0.00926 miles/sec

Step-by-step explanation:

Bonita jogs 2.5 miles west of Vinces' house to school. It took her 15 minutes to arrive.

Speed 1; distance/time = V1 = 2.5/15 = 1/6 miles/min

Furthermore she ran 5 miles to the discount store for personal supplies. This took her 5 minutes.

Thus;

Speed 2; V2 = 5/5 = 1 mile/min

She then slowly walks back to school, which takes her another 10 minutes. Distance from the discount stor to school is 5 miles as stated in speed 2.

Thus;

Speed 3: V3 = 5/10 = ½ mile/min

Her average speed is;

V_avg = (V1 + V2 + V3)/3

V_avg = (1/6 + 1 + ½)/3

V_avg = 10/18 = 0.5556 miles/min

Converting to miles/seconds

60 seconds make 1 minutes, therefore 1 mile/min = 1/60 miles/seconds

Thus;

V_avg = 0.5556 miles/min = 0.5556 × 1/60 miles/sec = 0.00926 miles/sec

It is estimated that the number of railroad miles and the number of highway miles were the same during the year ___.(Round down to the nearest your)

Answers

Answer:

1986

Step-by-step explanation:

Function that represents railroad miles

[tex]y=-1250.2x + 142602[/tex]

Function that represents number of highway miles

[tex]y=501.5x + 158449[/tex]

We have to find in which year (1995+x) the miles of railroad and highway is the same so

[tex]-1250.2x + 142602=501.5x + 158449\\\Rightarrow -1250.2x-501.5x=158449-142606\\\Rightarrow -1751.7x=15843\\\Rightarrow x=-\dfrac{15843}{1751.7}\\\Rightarrow x=-9.044\ \text{years}\approx -9\ \text{years}[/tex]

So, the year is [tex]1995+x=1995+(-9)=1986[/tex]

In the year 1986 the railroad and highway miles were equal.

It is estimated that the number of railroad miles and the number of highway miles were the same during the year 1986.

Given

The function y =-1250.2x + 142,602 represents the railrond miles.

While the function y =501.5x + 158,449 models the number of highway miles.

For each function, x is the number of years after 1995.

The year in which it is estimated that the number of the country's railroad miles and the number of the country's highway miles were the same.

Therefore,

[tex]\rm -1250.2x + 142,602=501.5x + 158,449\\\\-1250.2x -501.5x = 158,449-142,602\\\\-1751.7x=15847\\\\x = \dfrac{15847}{-1751.7}\\\\x=-9[/tex]

Then,

1995 - 9 = 1986

It is estimated that the number of railroad miles and the number of highway miles were the same during the year 1986.

he

Addit

Answers

Answer:

It will take them (Matt and Chris) 0.395 hours to be 64 miles apart

It will take 5.5 hours for the boats to be 66 miles apart

Step-by-step explanation:

We are to determine the time when Matt and Chris will be 64 miles apart, that is, when the total distance traveled by both of them will be 64 miles.

Let the time be t and

Let the distance covered by Matt be S₁ and the distance covered by Chris be S₂.

For Matt,

From the question, Matt drives at a speed of 79 miles per hour

From the formula

Distance = Speed × Time

S = v × t

∴ S₁ = 79×t

S₁ = 79t

For Chris,

From the question, Chris drives at a speed of 83 miles per hour

Using the same formula,

∴ S₂ = 83 × t

S₂ = 83t

To determine when they will be 64 miles apart, that is when S₁ + S₂ = 64 miles.

Hence,

S₁ + S₂ = 79t + 83t

∴64 = 79t + 83t

64 = 162t

t = 64/162

t = 0.395 hours

Hence, it will take them 0.395 hours to be 64 miles apart.

For the boats,

To determine how many hours it will take them to be 66 miles apart, that is when the total distance traveled by the two boats will be 66 miles.

Let the time be t and

Let the distance traveled by the northbound boat be S₁ and the distance traveled by the southbound both be S₂.

From the question,

The northbound boat travels five miles per hour

From the formula

Velocity = Distance / Time

Then, Distance = Velocity × Time

That is, S = v × t

Hence, for the northbound boat,

S = S₁

v = 5 miles per hour

∴ S₁ = 5t

Also from the question,

The  southbound boat goes seven miles per hour

Hence, for the southbound boat

S = S₂

v = 7 miles per hour

∴ S₂ = 7t

To determine when the boats will be 66 miles apart, that is when S₁ + S₂ = 66 miles

Then,

S₁ + S₂ = 5t + 7t

Hence,

66 = 5t + 7t

66 = 12t

t = 66/12

t = 5.5 hours

Hence, it will take 5.5 hours for the boats to be 66 miles apart.

vertical asymptote of f(x) = 3x-18 over 2x + 1

Answers

Answer:

We know that the formula to get the equation of a rational function is:

y = a * (factors of x intercepts) / (factor of vertical asymptote)

We are given the equation:

y = (3x - 18) / (2x + 1)

from the formula, we know that the value in the denominator is the factor of the vertical asymptote

So, we can write that:

2x + 1 = 0              [where x is the vertical asymptote]

x = -1/2

Therefore, the vertical asymptote of the given equation is -1/2

Equation of a line: given that m equals 5 and P(2,3), find the y-intercept (b), and write the equation of the line in slope intercept form

Equation of a line: given that m equals -2 and P(-4,5), find the y-intercept (b), and right equation of the line and slope intercept form

Giving P(3, -5) and Q(6,3). Find the slope of the line passing through the two points

Answers

Answer:

1. y-intercept = -7

equation: y = 5x - 7

2. y-intercept = -3

equation: y = -2x - 3

3. slope = [tex]\frac{8}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

slope formula: [tex]\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}[/tex]

To write an equation in slope-intercept form, you need to know the slope(m) and the y-intercept(b).

1. Given: m = 5, P(2, 3). To find the y-intercept, input the given values of m and the point into the equation format and solve for b:

y = mx + b

3 = 5(2) + b

3 = 10 + b

-7 = b

The y-intercept is -7.

Now that we know the slope and the y-intercept, we can write the equation:

y = 5x - 7

2. Given: m = -2, P(-4, 5). To find the y-intercept, input the given values of m and the point into the equation and solve for b:

y = mx + b

5 = -2(-4) + b

5 = 8 + b

-3 = b

The y-intercept is -3.

Now that we know the slope and the y-intercept, we can write the equation:

y = -2x - 3

3. Given: P(3, -5), Q(6, 3). To find the slope, input the given points into the slope formula:

(3, -5) = (x1, y1)

(6, 3) = (x2, y2)

[tex]\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{3-(-5)}{6-3}[/tex]

Simplify:

3 - (-5) = 3 + 5 = 8

6 - 3 = 3

[tex]\frac{8}{3}[/tex]

The slope of the line passing through points P and Q is [tex]\frac{8}{3}[/tex].
