A farmer finds that if she plants 55 trees per acre, each tree will yield 25 bushels of fruit. She estimates that for each additional tree planted per acre, the yield of each tree will decrease by 4 bushels. How many trees should she plant per acre to maximize her harvest

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

31 trees per acre will maximize the harvest

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Plant \to 55[/tex] trees/acre

[tex]Yield \to 25[/tex] bushels

[tex]x \to trees[/tex]

Required

Number of trees to maximize harvest

From the question, we understand that:

Yield will decrease by 4 i.e. 25 - 4x

For every additional tree planted, i.e. 55 + x

So, the function is:

[tex]F(x) = (25- 4x)*(55+x)[/tex]

Open bracket

[tex]F(x) = 25 * 55 -4x * 55 + 25 * x -4x*x[/tex]

[tex]F(x) = 1375 - 220x + 25x -4x^2[/tex]

[tex]F(x) = 1375 -195x -4x^2[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]F(x) = -4x^2 -195x +1375[/tex]

The maximum of a quadratic function is calculated as:

[tex]Max = -\frac{b}{2a}[/tex]

In the above equation:

[tex]a = -4; b =-195; c = 1375[/tex]

So:

[tex]x = -\frac{-195}{2 * -4}[/tex]

[tex]x = -\frac{195}{8}[/tex]

[tex]x = -24.375[/tex]

Recall that the number of trees to be planted is: 55 + x

So, we have:

[tex]Trees = 55+x[/tex]

[tex]Trees = 55-24.375[/tex]

[tex]Trees = 30.625[/tex]

Approximate

[tex]Trees = 31[/tex]

Area and circumference of this circle

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The radius is 6 cm

To find the area + circumference we need to use 2 formulas:

Area: pi* radius^2

Circumference: 2*pi*r

First we can do the area

I will use "pi" for pi instead of 3.14

pi * 6^2

= 36 pi

The area is 36 pi

Next, circumference

2 * pi *r

2*pi*6

= 12 pi

So the area is 36 pi, and the circumference is 12 pi

A. True
B. False

Answers

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

This is false because A density graph is not used to find the probability of a discrete random variable taking on a range of values. This is because you have to use a calculations instead of a graph. The correct how to calculate is: Determine a single event with a single outcome. Identify the total number of outcomes that can occur. Divide the number of events by the number of possible outcomes.

Therefore, it's B ( false).

Graph a right triangle with the two points forming the hypotenuse. Using the sides, find the distance between the two points in simplest radical form.
(−5,−1) and (−3,−8)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]d=\sqrt{53}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the distance between two points i.e. (−5,−1) and (−3,−8).

It can be calculated using distance formula as follows :

[tex]d=\sqrt{(y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2}[/tex]

We have, x₁ = -5, x₂ = -3, y₁ = -1 and y₂ = -8

Put all the values,

[tex]d=\sqrt{(-8-(-1))^2+(-3-(-5))^2}\\\\d=\sqrt{49+4}\\\\d=\sqrt{53}[/tex]

So, the distance between the points is equal to [tex]\sqrt{53}[/tex]

Answer:

The correct option is (A).

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is :

[tex]\dfrac{14x^4y^6}{7x^8y^2}[/tex]

The numerator contains 14x⁴y⁶ and the denominator is 7x⁸y².

We can write it as :

[tex]\dfrac{14x^4y^6}{7x^8y^2}=\dfrac{7\times 2\times x^4\times y^2\times y^4}{7x^4\times x^4\times y^2}[/tex]

Canceling the common terms,

[tex]=\dfrac{2y^4}{x^4}[/tex]

So, the correct option is (A).

According to the national association of home builders the mean price of an existing single family home in 2018 was $395,000. A real estate broker believes that existing home prices in her neighborhood are lower.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]\mu = 395000[/tex] -- mean price

Required

Determine the null and alternate hypotheses

From the question, we understand that the mean price is:

[tex]\mu = 395000[/tex]

This represents the null hypothesis

[tex]H_o:\mu = 395000[/tex]

The belief that the home prices are lower represents the alternate hypothesis

Lower means less than

So, the alternate hypothesis is:

[tex]H_a:\mu < 395000[/tex]
