.725 , .572 , .275, .2
You look at the first decimal place to see which is the greatest. 7 is greater than 5 and 2 so it's first. Then 5 is greater than 2 so it is next. For the last two numbers since 2 is the same value you look at the next decimal place. Since 7 is greater than 0 it comes next!
Answer:
(4,-2)
Step-by-step explanation:
plug in and simplify;
y+2=-3(x-4)
-2+2=-3(x-4)
0=-3x+12
3x=12
x=4
Answer:
a) Y(x) = {900, x≤30; 900-40(x-30), x>30}
b) T(x) = {900x, x≤30; 2100x-40x², x>30}
c) dT/dx = {900, x≤30; 2100-80x, x>30}
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The problem statement gives the function for x ≤ 30, and gives an example of evaluating the function for x = 35. So, replacing 35 in the example with x gives the function definition for x > 30.

__
b) The yield per acre is the product of the number of trees and the yield per tree:
T(x) = x·Y(x)

__
c) The derivative is ...

_____
The attached graph shows the yield per acre (purple, overlaid by red for x<30), the total yield (black), and the derivative of the total yield (red). You will note the discontinuity in the derivative at x=30, where adding one more tree per acre suddenly makes the rate of change of yield be negative.
When solving these proportions we just remember when moving a number from one side to the other if it started in the numerator it ends up in the denominator and vice versa.
I'll do it in two steps here for teaching purposes; it's not too hard to go directly to the answer.
