A home gardener estimates that 18 apple trees will produce an average yield of 80 apples per tree. But because of the size of th

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

Sara got 88, 90, 75, 78, 100, 54, 90, 100, 45, and 60 on her English tests
Dmitrij [34]
The answer is 78 because when you add all the numbers it equals 780 and you need to divide the end sum by the amount of numbers added to get it. So in the end there were 10 numbers added to equal 780 so 780\10 equals 78

Can someone help me with this i have been trying for hours and i actually got the wrong answer so can you help me understand by
kap26 [50]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that FGH is a triangle, which means that...

Angle F + Angle G + Angle H = 180

Start by substituting the given angle measurements into the equation:

4x+2+13x-7+3x+5=180

Combine like terms

20x=180

Divide both sides by 20 to isolate x

x=9

Plug 9 back in for x to solve for each angle

Angle F = 4(9)+2=36+2=38

Angle G = 13(9)-7=117-7=110

Angle H = 3(9)+5=27+5=32
