A 4-billion-bushel corn crop brings a price of $2.4/bushel. A commodity broker uses the following rule of thumb: If the crop is

reduced by x percent, then the price increases by 10x cents. Which crop size results in maximum revenue and what is the price per bushel? Revenue is equal to price times crop size. (Use decimal notation. Give your answers to two decimal places.) crop size__________.billion bushels price per bushel___________.$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The second crop size results in maximum revenue. The price per bushel of the second crop size is 3.54 dollars.

Step-by-step explanation: FIRST: Ensure all figures for price are in the same unit (same for quantity)

Hence, 10X cents = 0.1X dollars

SECOND:

Derive the equations for the new price and new quantity

P2 = P1 + 0.1X

Q2 = Q1 - (X% of Q1)

THIRD:

Input the values of Q1 and P1 into the equations

FOURTH:

To get X, equate P2 to Q2

P2 = Q2

From here, X = 11.4286

FIFTH:

Use this value of X to find the values of Q2 and P2 which will be 3.543 billion bushels and 3.54286 dollars respectively.

SIXTH:

The new revenue will now be 12.55 billion dollars which is obviously higher than the initial revenue of 9.6 billion dollars. Remember that R=P.Q

Revenue= Price x Quantity

Answer:

<h2>A) Height is the missing measurment.</h2><h2 /><h2> B)  1,400= 20 × 14 × H</h2><h2 /><h2>C) 1400 ÷ H = 280</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Length × Width × Height

B) V is 1,400

    L is 20

    W is 14

    H is unknown so use a variable

C) 20 × 14= 280.

Answer:

Arranging from longest (at top) to shortest (at bottom)

DF

EF

DE

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to place the sides of triangle DE, DF and EF from longest to shortest.

The triangle has longest side that is opposite to the largest angle

We know two angles < E= 61° , <F= 59° we need to find <D

Sum of angles of triangle = 180°

So, 61°+59°+<D=180°

120°+<D=180°

<D=180°-120°

<D=60°

So, the largest angle is <E= 61°

The longest side must be opposite to <E so, the side is DF

The second largest angle is <D=60° so, second side will be EF

The smallest angle is <F=59° so, third (shortest) side will be DE

Arranging from longest (at top) to shortest (at bottom)

DF

EF

DE

From the diagram below, of the distance between the tree and point B is 125 meters, and the angle of depression from the top of
ankoles [38]

Answer:

a. 129 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters of the tree and the point <em>B</em> are;

The horizontal distance between the tree and point <em>B</em>, x = 125 meters

The angle of depression from the top of the tree to the point <em>B</em>, θ = 46°

Let <em>h</em> represent the height of the tree

The horizontal line at the top of the tree that forms the angle of depression with the line of sight from the top of the tree to the point <em>B</em> is parallel to the horizontal distance from the point <em>B</em> to the tree, therefore;

The angle of depression = The angle of elevation = 46°

By trigonometry, we have;

tan(θ) = h/x

∴ h = x × tan(θ)

Plugging in the values of the variables gives;

h = 125 × tan(46°) ≈ 129.44

The height of the tree, h ≈ 129 meters
