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
__
C) see below for a graph
__
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.
Answer:
an exponential function
Step-by-step explanation:
An exponential function has the characteristic that it increases by a constant factor when the independent variable increases by a constant increment. The function you describe is an exponential function.
__
It can be written in the form ...
f(t) = f(0)·2^(t/d) . . . . . where d is the doubling time
D.) 06.5. 20 words don’t mind these i just don’t know what else to say besides it’s D
2x - 5x + 4 = 0
- 3x = - 4
x = 4/3
Answer: 40%
Step-by-step explanation:
Setting up an equation to solve,
25 as the denominator representing the total number of baseball games played to represent the "whole."
10 as the numerator representing the number of games the baseball games won to represent the "part" you want to calculate as a percentage.
The equation, looking like this,
10/25 = ___
after calculating the equation you get 2/5 as reduced, evaluating that in terms of percentage you get 40% as 5 represents 100% (the whole) and 2 representing 40% (the number of baseball games won)
