A farmer owns a 100 acre farm and plans to plant at most three crops. The seed for crops A,B, and C costs $40, $20, and $30 per

acre, respectively. A maximum of $3200 can be spent on seed. Crops A,B, and C require 1,2, and 1 workdays per acre, respectively, and there are maximum of 160 workdays available. If the farmer can make a profit of $100 per acre on crop A, $300 per acre on crop B, and $200 per acre on crop C, how many acres of each crop should be planted to maximize profit

Answer:

The number of acre per crop for maximum profit is;

Crop A = 0 acres

Crop B = 60 acres

Crop C = 40 acres

Profit, P = $26,000

Step-by-step explanation:

We plant A in X acres

B in Y acres and

C in Z acres

Therefore, X + Y + Z ≤ 100

we work A for 1·X workdays

B for 2·Y workdays and

C for 1·Z workdays

Where X + 2·Y + Z ≤ 160

$40·X for crop A

$20·Y for crop B and

$30·Z for crop C is spent whereby

$40·X + $20·Y + $30·Z ≤ $3200

The farmer makes

$100·X from crop A

$300·Y from crop B and

$200·Z from crop C

P = $100·X + $300·Y + $200·Z

Therefore, we have three equations with three unknowns solving the equations simultaneously, we have

X + Y + Z = 100....................................................(1)

X + 2·Y + Z = 160.................................................(2)

$40·X + $20·Y + $30·Z = $3200....................(3)

By subtracting equation (1) from (2) gives Y = 60 acres

Multiplying equation (1) by 40 and subtracting from (3) we  have Z = -40

and therefore, Y = 80

If he plants only B the farmer has 2 work day per acre and since there is a max of 160 days, he can only plant on 80 acres, therefore, total profit = $300 × 80 = $24,000

Comparing the profit per acre to the seed cost we have Profit for seed A = $100 while cost = $40 per acre,

If we remove seed A we have

Y + Z = 100....................................................(4)

2·Y + Z = 160.................................................(5)

$40·X + $20·Y + $30·Z = $3200....................(3)

Solving equation (4) and (5), we have Y = 60 acres and Z = 40 acres

Therefore, the profit becomes

$300 × 60 + $200 × 40 = $26,000.

Find the length of the third side to the nearest tenth 6 and 9
oee [108]

Hello, i do believe that you are asking me to do pythagorean theorem.

I'm not too sure if we are solving hypotenuse or a/b so i'll do both.

\boxed{\underline{Hypotenuse...}}\\\\\\A^2+B^2=C^2\\6^2+9^2=C^2\;\\36+81=117

\sqrt{117}=10.816\\Round-\;10.8

\boxed{\underline{a/b...}}\\\\\\A^2=C^2-B^2\\A^2=9^2-6^2\\A^2=81-36\\A^2=45\\\sqrt{45}= 6.708\\Round-\;6.7

Hope it helps!

The graph of g(x) is the result of translating the graph of f(x) (1\2)x = three units to the left. What is the equation of g(x)?
tangare [24]
The equation f(x)= \frac{1}{2}x is plotted on graph below (red line)

Translating f(x) three units to the left can be done by choosing  any coordinates on f(x).

Let choose (0,0) and (2,1)
Translating 3 units on to the left gives the new coordinates (0-3, 0)=(-3,0) and (2-3, 1)=(-1, 1)

The gradient of the two functions will stay the same since the lines are parallel to each other, so m = 0.5

By joining the two coordinates (-3,0) and (-1,1), we see that the translated line crosses y-axis at 1.5

The equation of translated line is given
g(x)=0.5(x-(-3))
g(x)=0.5(x+3)
g(x)=0.5x+1.5

stellarik [79]

Answer:

y =-3

Step-by-step explanation:

4(y+1)=-8

Divide each side by 4

4/4(y+1)=-8/4

y+1 = -2

Subtract 1 from each side

y+1-1 = -2-1

y = -3
