Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1. You must apply the Distributive property. You need to remember the product property of exponents: If you multiply powers with the same base, you must add the exponents. Them you have:
2. Now, you must add the like terms. Then, you obtain the following result:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A) Let x represent acres of pumpkins, and y represent acres of corn. Here are the constraints:
x ≥ 2y . . . . . pumpkin acres are at least twice corn acres
x - y ≤ 10 . . . . the difference in acreage will not exceed 10
12 ≤ x ≤ 18 . . . . pumpkin acres will be between 12 and 18
0 ≤ y . . . . . the number of corn acres is non-negative

B) If we assume the objective is to maximize profit, the profit function we want to maximize is ...
P = 360x +225y

D) The profit for an acre of pumpkins is the highest, so the farmer should maximize that acreage. The constraint on the number of acres of pumpkins comes from the requirement that it not exceed 18 acres. Then additional profit is maximized by maximizing acres of corn, which can be at most half the number of acres of pumpkins, hence 9 acres.
So profit is maximized for 18 acres of pumpkins and 9 acres of corn.
Maximum profit is $360·18 +$225·9 = $8505.
