Answer:

700

Explanation:

If from the question the price per unit of fertilizer, p(x) = 300 - 0.1x

The cost of x units of  fertilizer = C(x) = 15000 + 125x + 0.025x^2

And we know that Profit = Revenue - Cost

Revenue for x units of fertilizer R(X) = x*p(x)

= 300x - 0.1x^2

Hence Profit: P(x) = R(x) - C(x)

= [300x - 0.1x^2] - [15000 + 125x + 0.025x^2]  

= -0.125x^2 + 175x - 15000

To determine critical values

P'(x) = -0.25x + 175 = 0

Thus x = 175/0.25

x = 700

To maximize profit, the manufactures must produce 700 units of fertilizers

Answer:

Q.1: I can't help you with this, sorry :(

Q.2: Seaweed is the producer because it takes energy from the water and sun in thermal reactions.

Q.3: Phytoplankton is the second-order consumer because they eat first-order consumers.

Q.4: Whelks and crabs because they eat limpets, which eat producers, and they also eat seaweed.

Q.5: Gulls are carnivores because they eat the crabs, and so are crabs because they eat mullets

Q.6: Limpets and lobster would become less populated, but not yet endangered. Gulls would starve and probably disappear from this ecosystem.

Q.7: Whelks' numbers would decrease because of the number of lobsters consuming them, but then lobsters would starve because of the decline in their food. Then this would repeat, shaking the whole ecosystem.

PLS HELP!!!!!!!!!! Describe the structure and function of the cell membrane.
natulia [17]
The structure is a phospholipid bilayer. There are many phospholipids which contain a water loving phosphate end and a water hating lipid (fatty) end. The phosphate ends all point out words while the fatty ends are inside.

The purpose is protection of the cell as well as allowing certain molecules to enter and exit the cell

If a body's rectal temperature cannot be taken, what other location can be used?
natali 33 [55]
The armpit isn't the most precise but it is close. Under the tongue, across the forehead, as long as you have the proper tools (thermometer, the thermometer meant for foreheads) you should get a fairly accurate reading.
