At a certain vineyard it is found that each grape vine produces about 10 pounds of grapes in a season when about 600 vines are p

lanted per acre. For each additional vine that is planted, the production of each vine decreases by about 1 percent. So the number of pounds of grapes produced per acre is modeled by
A(n) = (600 + n)(10 − 0.01n)
where n is the number of additional vines planted. Find the number of vines that should be planted to maximize grape production.

Answer:

The number of additional vines to plant in order to maximize production  is 200

The total number of vines to maximize production is 800

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that the expression for the number of pounds of grapes per acre  is in fact a quadratic expression in the variable "n":

A(n)=(600+n)(10-0.01n)\\A(n)= 6000-6n+10n-0.01n^2\\A(n) = 6000+4n-0.01n^2

which is clearly associated with a parabola with arms pointing down (negative coefficient in the variable "n" squared). So by finding the vertex of the parabola, we can give the answer to what "n" (number of additional vines to plant).

Recall that the vertex of a parabola of the general shape: y=ax^2+bx+c has an x-component defined by:

x_{vertex}=\frac{-b}{2a}

then in our case, the "n" value for that vertex is: n_{vertex}= \frac{-4}{2(-0.01)} =200

Then the additional number of vines to maximize grape production is 200

So the total should be: 600 + 200 =800

Answer:

x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

y\geq -\frac{2}{3} x-3\\
y\leq 3x+8

-\frac{2}{3} x-3=3x+8

Add 2/3 x to both sides:  -3=\frac{11}{3}x+8

Subtract 8 from both sides: -11=\frac{11}{3}x

Multiply both sides by 3:  -33=11x

Divide both sides by 11:  x=-3

Therefore, point of intersection between both lines is at point (-3, -1)

What is the better buy?
White raven [17]

Answer: Option B is the cheaper deal (the 12 batteries for $14.76)

===========================================================

Explanation:

For the first deal we can say

3 batteries = 4.80 dollars

3/3 batteries = 4.80/3 dollars .... divide both sides by 3

1 battery = 1.60 dollars

The unit price for the first deal is $1.60 per battery.

----------------------------------

For the second deal we could say

12 batteries = 14.76 dollars

12/12 batteries = 14.76/12 dollars .... divide both sides by 12

1 battery = 1.23 dollars

The unit price for the first deal is $1.23 per battery.

This is the cheaper deal.

----------------------------------

So in short, you're dividing the total cost over the number of items to get the unit price.
