An orchard contains 30 apple​ trees, each of which yields about 450 apples over the growing season. The owner plans to add more​

trees, but each new tree will reduce the average yield per tree by about 8 apples over the season. How many trees should be added to maximize the total yield of​ apples? What would be the maximum yield for the apple orchard for the​ season?

Answer

given,

apple tree in orchard = 30

yield of apple =  450 apples

yield reduced per tree = 8 apples

number of trees added be x

trees added to maximize the yield = ?

total yield = (30 + x)(400 - 8 x )

T = 12000- 240 x  + 400 x - 8 x²

T = - 8 x² + 160 x + 12000

max will occur when

x = \dfrac{-b}{2a}

x = \dfrac{-160}{2(-8)}

x = 10 (to be added)

maximum yields =  - 8 (10²) + 160 x 10 + 12000

                             = 12800 apple

maximum yield of the orchard is 12800 apple

A mouse is traveling at a rate of 100 feet per hour. One half hour later, a snake smells the
Arlecino [84]

Let, snake catches the mouse in t hours. Till then mouse is travelling from

( t + 1.5 ) hours.

Distance, travelled by mouse in t hours is, d = 100(t+ 1.5) .

To catch the mouse snake had to travel the same distance d in  t hours.

So,

200t = 100(  t + 1.5 )\\\\2t = t + 1.5\\\\t = 1.5 \ hours

Therefore, snake will catch mouse in 1.5 hours.

If 15% of an item is $18.00 what was the original price?
larisa [96]
<span>from the whole price,
15% of this price is equal to $18.00.
therefore if 15 % equals $18.00
                                                                     
then 100% is the original price therefore 100 % = 18.00 / 15 % x 100% = $120 therefore original price = $120</span>
