Answer:

5 more than 30 trees should be  planted, for a total of 40 trees per acre.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of trees beyond 30 that are planted on the acre

The number of oranges produced = Oranges(x) = (number of trees) (yield per tree)

We are given that For each additional tree in the acre, the yield is reduced by 7 oranges per tree

So, number of oranges produced =(30 + x)(400 -10x)

                                                        = 12000 -300x+400x-10x^2

                                                        = 12000 + 100x-10x^2

The derivative Oranges'(x) = 100-20x

Substitute first derivative equals to 0

100-20x =0

x=5

Using the second derivative test,

Oranges"(x) = -20

20 is negative,

So, this is the case of maximum.

Thus, 5 more than 30 trees should be  planted, for a total of 40 trees per acre.

Answer:

40

180 -40 - 90 = 50

I don't remember the name of the type of angle, but since that one angle is 50 the other side is also 50.

180 - 90 - 50 = 40
