The yield of orange trees is reduced if they are planted too close together. If there are 30 trees per acre, each tree produces

400 oranges. For each additional tree in the acre, the yield is reduced by 7 oranges per tree. How many trees per acre yield the largest crop for farmer Boyles?

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:

Choice number one:

\displaystyle \frac{5}{10}\cdot \frac{4}{9}.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Let A be the event that the number on the first card is even.
  • Let B be the event that the number on the second card is even.

The question is asking for the possibility that event A and B happen at the same time. However, whether A occurs or not will influence the probability of B. In other words, A and B are not independent. The probability that both A and B occur needs to be found as the product of

  • the probability that event A occurs, and
  • the probability that event B occurs given that event A occurs.

5 out of the ten numbers are even. The probability that event A occurs is:

\displaystyle P(A) = \frac{5}{10}.

In case A occurs, there will only be four cards with even numbers out of the nine cards that are still in the bag. The conditional probability of getting a second card with an even number on it, given that the first card is even, will be:

\displaystyle P(B|A) = \frac{4}{9}.

The probability that both A and B occurs will be:

\displaystyle P(A \cap B) = P(B\cap A) =  P(A) \cdot P(B|A) = \frac{5}{10}\cdot \frac{4}{9}.

If A = C + 3A=C+3, B = 2CB=2C, and C = 4C=4, which is the correct order from least to greatest?
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

B, C, A.

Step-by-step explanation:

A = C + 3A = C + 3

A = C + 3

A = C + 3A

C + 3A = C + 3

3A = 3

A = 1

A = C + 3

1 = C + 3

C + 3 = 1

C = -2

B = 2C

B = 2(-2)

B = -4.

So, from least to greatest, B = -4, C = -2, and A = 1.

Hope this helps!
