19 trees should be planted to maximize the total
<h3>How many trees should be planted to maximize the total</h3>
From the question, we have the following parameters:
Number of apples, x = 18
Yield, f(x) = 80 per tree
When the number of apple trees is increased (say by x).
We have:
Trees = 18 + x
The yield decreases by four apples per tree.
So, we have
Yield = 80 - 4x
So, the profit function is
P(x) = Apples * Yield
This gives
P(x) = (18 + x) *(80 - 4x)
Expand the bracket
P(x) = 1440 - 72x + 80x - 4x^2
Differentiate the function
P'(x) = 0 - 72 + 80 - 8x
Evaluate the like terms
P'(x) = 8 - 8x
Set P'(x) to 0
8 - 8x = 0
Divide through by 8
1 - x = 0
Solve for x
x = 1
Recall that:
Trees = 18 + x
So, we have
Trees = 18 + 1
Evaluate
Trees = 19
Hence, 19 trees should be planted to maximize the total

The last one would be incorrect. We are looking for PART of whatever N is. Multiply by the whole number 25 is definitely not what we want to do.
Hope I helped!

Zina spent at most 18 dollars
P = 4a.....this is the perimeter of a square
P = 4(180)
P = 720 ft
and if the spray cost 0.11 per ft......720 * 0.11 = 79.20 rounded to the nearest dollar is $ 79 <==
Answer:
{-4.6, -4.2, -3.8, -3.4}
Step-by-step explanation:
The length of the space Karlie is dividing is -3-(-5) = 2 units. Then the length of each of those equal 5 spaces will be 2/5 units = 0.4 units.
Each mark on the number line is 0.4 units to the right of the previous one. The first (left-most) mark is 0.4 units to the right of -5, so is at -5+0.4 = -4.6.
The marks have to be placed at -4.6, -4.2, -3.8, and -3.4.
