The number of board feet in a 16 foot long tree is approximated by the model F(d) = 0.77d^2 -- 1.32d -- 9.31 where F is the numb

er of board feet and d is the diameter (in inches) of the log. What diameter tree will produce the minimum number of board feet?

we are given

F(d)=0.77d^2-1.32d-9.31

where

F is the number of board feet

d is the diameter (in inches) of the log

Since, we have to minimize F

so, firstly we will find it's derivative

F'(d)=0.77\times 2d-1.32\times 1-0

F'(d)=1.54d-1.32

now, we can set it to 0

and then we can solve for d

F'(d)=1.54d-1.32=0

1.54d-1.32=0

so, we get diameter as

d=\frac{6}{7}inch..............Answer

An actor invested some money at 5% simple interest, and $41,000 more than 4 times the amount at 9%. The total annual interest ea
NARA [144]

Answer:

  • The amount invested at 5%=$77,000
  • The amount invested at 9%=$349,000

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Let the amount invested at 5% simple interest =$x

He invested $41,000 more than 4 times the amount at 9%.

  • This amount is: $(4x+41000)

Total Annual Interest Earned = $35,260

Therefore, Time=1 year

Simple Interest=\frac{Principal X Rate X Time}{100}

Therefore, his total interest

=Interest from Investment 1 + Interest from Investment 2

35260=\left(\frac{x*5*1}{100} \right)+\left(\frac{4x+41000*9*1}{100} \right)\\35260=0.05x+(0.36x+3690)\\35260-3690=0.05x+0.36x\\31570=0.41x\\\text{Divide both sides by 0.41}\\x=\$77000

Therefore:

The amount invested at 5%=$77,000

The amount invested at 9%=$(4*77,000+41000)=$349,000

  • Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define Systems</u>

y = 2x

x = -y + 6

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>y</u></em>

<em>Substitution</em>

  1. Substitute in <em>x</em>:                     y = 2(-y + 6)
  2. Distribute 2:                         y = -2y + 12
  3. Isolate <em>y</em> terms:                    3y = 12
  4. Isolate <em>y</em>:                               y = 4

<u>Step 3: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Define equation:                    x = -y + 6
  2. Substitute in <em>y</em>:                       x = -4 + 6
  3. Add:                                        x = 2
