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]

Write an equation for a line perpendicular to y=3x+1 and passing through the point (6,2)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y = -\frac{1}{3}x + 4[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

Equation of line

passes through [tex](6,2)[/tex]

In an equation of the form [tex]y =mx + b[/tex]; the slope is [tex]m[/tex]

So, by comparison;

The slope of [tex]y = 3x + 1[/tex] is: [tex]m =3[/tex]

From the question, we understand that the required equation is perpendicular to [tex]y = 3x + 1[/tex]

This means that its slope is:

[tex]m_2 =-\frac{1}{m}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]m_2 =-\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

The line equation is:

[tex]y = m_2(x - x_1) + y_1[/tex]

Where:

[tex](x_1,y_1) = (6,2)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]y = -\frac{1}{3}(x - 6) + 2[/tex]

[tex]y = -\frac{1}{3}x + 2 + 2[/tex]

[tex]y = -\frac{1}{3}x + 4[/tex]

let's figure out the area of the rectangle

recall that,

[tex] \displaystyle A_{ \rm rect} =l \times w[/tex]

given that,

l=9w=3

thus substitute:

[tex] \displaystyle A_{ \rm rect} =9\times 3[/tex]

let's figure out the area of the triangle

remember that,

[tex] \displaystyle A_{ \rm triangle} = \frac{1}{2} \times 9\times 2[/tex]

reduce fraction:

[tex] \displaystyle A_{ \rm triangle} = 9[/tex]

Find an equation of the circle that satisfies the given conditions. (Give your answer in terms of x and y.) Radius 7 and center (2, −4)

Answers

Let's start by writing the equation of a circle.

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

The center of the circle is (h, k), and the radius, r, is 4 so

we can simply plug these values into the formula.

So we have [(x) - (2)]² + [(y) - (-4)]² =  (7)².

Notice that I changed the parenthses that were in the original formula

to brackets so that we wouldn't have too many sets of parenthses

when plugging our values into the formula.

Finally, we simplify inside the brackets.

So we have (x - 2)² + (y + 4)² = 49.

Now, I changed the brackets back to parenthses in the final answer.

Type SSS, SAS, ASA, SAA, or HL to
justify why the two larger triangles are
congruent.

Answers

Answer:

ASA

Step-by-step explanation:

The two small angles which are the base angles of the small triangle in the middle are marked as equal.

The two large angles of the two triangles are also marked as conguent.

The base of the small triangle in the middle is common to both the larger triangles by the reflexive property (a line is always equal to itself). The line is between two sets of congruent angles. Therefore the two large triangles are congruent by ASA

Answer:  ASA

Explanation:

It might help to peel the triangles apart as I have done so below.

We have two pairs of congruent angles, as shown by the distinct angle markers. Between the congruent angles, we have a pair of congruent sides.

The side (S) is between the angles (A), which is why we use ASA.

Note: SAA is slightly different where the congruent sides are not between the congruent angles.

Answers

Answer:

approximately Normal with a mean of 3.2 million and a standard deviation of 0.32 million

Step-by-step explanation:

For normal distribution conditions

1) Sample size is greater than 30

2) Population standard deviation is known

3) population is normal distributed

Above any condition given problem if satisfied than it's distribution will approximately normal.

n = 40 > 30

Sample size(n) greater than 30 and population standard deviation is known.

So the distribution will approximately be normal

Hope this helps!

The shape  of the distribution of the sample mean for all possible random samples of size 40 from this population is approximately Normal

The following any or all conditions should be there for normal distribution:

The Sample size is more than 30 .Population standard deviation is known .The Population is normal distributed

Now  

n = 40 > 30

Here  

Sample size(n) more than 30 and population standard deviation is known.

A positive real number is 1 more than another. When -2 times the smaller is added to the square of the larger, the result is 33. Find the numbers.

Answers

Answer:

The smaller number is 4√2 and the larger number is (4√2 + 1).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be x and y, where y is the larger of the two numbers.

Since y is the larger number, it is one more than the smaller number. So:

[tex]y=x+1[/tex]

When negative two times the smaller is added to the square of the larger, the result is 33. In other words:

[tex]-2x+y^2=33[/tex]

Substitute:

[tex]-2x+(x+1)^2=33[/tex]

Solve for x. Square:

[tex]-2x+(x^2+2x+1)=33[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]x^2+1=33[/tex]

Subtract one from both sides:

[tex]x^2=32[/tex]

And take the square root of both sides:

[tex]x=\pm\sqrt{32}=\pm 4\sqrt{2}[/tex]

Since y is positive, we can ignore the negative case. So, the smaller number is:

[tex]x=4\sqrt{2}\approx5.66[/tex]

And the larger number is:

[tex]y = 4\sqrt{2} + 1 \approx6.66[/tex]

If y varies directly as x and y = 24 when x = -3, find the constant of variation k
and then determine y when x = 12.

Answers

Answer:

I. k = -8

II. y = -96

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the mathematical expression and data;

y = 24

x = -3

y = kx (y varies directly as x).

To find the constant of proportionality k;

y = kx

Substituting the values into the expression, we have;

24 = k(-3)

24 = -3k

k = -24/3

k = -8

Next, to find the value of y when x = 12

y = kx

Substituting the values, we have;

y = -8 * 12

y = -96

Problem 7)  1/26Problem 8)  1/13Problem 9)  10/13Problem 10)  1/2Problem 11)  11/13Problem 12)  3/13

===================================================

Explanations:

Problem 7)

There are 2 red aces (hearts, diamonds) out of 52 cards total, so 2/52 = 1/26 is the probability of picking a red ace.

---------------------------

Problem 8)

There are 4 kings out of 52 cards total, so 4/52 = 1/13 are the odds of picking a king.

This is the same as say focusing on one suit (eg: clubs) and finding the probability of pulling out a king.

---------------------------

Problem 9)

There are 3 face cards per suit (Jack, Queen, King) so 3*4 = 12 face cards in all. The odds of picking a face card are 12/52 = 3/13. That makes 10/13 the odds of not picking a face card, since 3/13+10/13 = 1.

---------------------------

Problem 10)

The answer is 1/2 because half of the cards are red.

You could say 26/52 = 1/2 since there are 26 red cards out of 52 cards total.

---------------------------

Problem 11)

There are 4 copies of '2' and 4 copies of '3', so there are 4+4 = 8 cards we want to avoid. The probability of picking either of them is 8/52 = 2/13. The odds of not picking any of these cards is 11/13  (refer to problem 9).

---------------------------

Problem 12)

We have 4 copies each of '7', '8' and '9'

That gives 4*3 = 12 cards total we want to pick.

So 12/52 = 3/13 is the answer.

Furthermore, we are informed that we earn $0.25 for every cup of orange juice sold. This means that we shall earn 0.25 j by selling  j cups of orange juice.

The variable total amount, A will thus depend on the fixed amount of $1 and the variable income 0.25 j.
