Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

Choice B, 4


Discussion:

From the Pythagorean Theorem


x^2 + ( x-2)^2           =    ( sqrt(20) ) ^ 2     =>

x^2 + ( x^2 - 4x + 4) = 20                            => combine common terms

2x^2 -4x + 4 = 20                                        => divide both sides by 2

x^2 -2x + 2 = 10                                           => subtract 10 from both sides

x^2 -2x - 8 = 0                  => x^2 -2x - 8 = (x-4)(x+2)

(x-4)(x+2) = 0                    =>

x = 4, x = -2

The answer is Choice B, 4


Thank you,

MrB

A farmer is going to divide her 30 acre farm between two crops. Seed for corn costs $15 per acre. Seed for wheat costs $30 per a
Deffense [45]

Answer:

$3200

Step-by-step explanation:

The total area of land is 30 acre. Let x represent the area in acre that corn is planted and y represent the area in acre that wheat is planted. Therefore:

x + y = 30               (1)

Also, the farmer can spend at most $750 on seeds. Corn cost $15 per acre, maize cost $30 per acre. Hence:

15x + 30y ≤ 750      (2)

Also, x and y > 0

The profit is given by the function:

Profit = 100x + 110y

Graphing equation 1 and equation 2 and solving, we get the points:

(10, 20)

Hence the maximum profit is at:

Max profit = 100(10) + 110(20) = $3200
