Answer:

  44 3/8 trees per acre

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of trees planted per acre. Let y represent the yield in bushels per tree. The farmer estimates the yield will be ...

  y = 75 -4(x -70)

  y = 355 -4x . . . . . . simplify

The yield per acre is this yield per tree multiplied by the number of trees per acre, x.

  yield per acre = x(355 -4x) = 4(x)(88.75 -x)

This describes a downward-opening parabola with zeros at x=0 and x=88.75. The vertex (maximum) is halfway between the zeros, at x = 44.375.

To maximize her harvest, the farmer should plant 44 3/8 trees per acre. If the model is correct, each tree would then produce 177.5 bushels of fruit, almost 2.4 times the current yield.

In △ABC, m∠A=52°, c=11, and m∠B=19°. Find a to the nearest tenth.
Ugo [173]

From the problem we have

In △ABC, m∠A=52°, c=11, and m∠B=19°.

Draw the diagram with the help of given information, (see the attached image)

Now using Sine Law in the Triangle ABC, we can write

Now from Triangle ABC , we can write

\frac{a}{sin52}=\frac{11}{sin109}  \\

Now simplify , we get

\Rightarrow a=\frac{11}{sin109}*sin52\\ \\  \Rightarrow a=\frac{11}{0.9455}*0.7880\\ \\ \Rightarrow a=9.1676 \approx 9.2\\

X, 2X + 11 and 4X - 3 are consecutive terms of an arithmetic sequence. Find the constant difference between terms. Give a formul
Anna007 [38]

Common difference between the terms is 36

Formula for nth term is a_n=36n-11

27th term is 961

Given :

X, 2X + 11 and 4X - 3 are consecutive terms of an arithmetic sequence

To Find:

We need to find the constant difference between the given terms and also find the nth term . Also find the 27th term .

To find the difference , we need to take the difference of consecutive terms

2x+11-x=x+11\\\\4x-3=(2x+11)= 4x-3-2x-11=2x-14

Both the common differences are equal

x+11=2x-14\\Solve \; for \; x\\Subtract \; x\\11=x-14\\Add \; 14\\x=25

First term is 25

second term is 2(25)+11=61

Difference is 61-25=26

Common difference = 36

Use nth term formula is

a_n=a+(n-1)d\\a=25 (first term )\\d=36\\a_n=25+(n-1)(36)\\a_n=25+36n-36\\a_n=36n-11

To find 27th term , replace n with 27

a_{27}=36(27)-11=961
