<span>The maxima of an equation can be obtained by taking the 1st derivative of the equation then equate it to 0.</span>The value of N that result in best yield is when dy/dn = 0.

Taking the 1st derivative of the equation y=(kn)/(9+n^2) :<span>
</span>

By using the quotient rule the form of the equation is:<span>
y = g(n) / h(n) 
where:</span>

g(n) = kn    --->    g'(n) = k 

<span> <span>h(n) = 9 + n^2     --->    h'(n) = 2n </span>
dy/dn is defined as:
<span>dy/dn = [h(n) * g'(n) - h'(n) * g(n)] / h(n)^2 
dy/dn = [(9 + n^2)(k) - (kn)(2n)] / (9 + n^2)^2 
dy/dn = (9k + kn^2 - 2kn^2) / (9 + n^2)^2 
dy/dn = (9k - kn^2) / (9 + n^2)^2 
dy/dn = k(9 - n^2) / (9 + n^2)^2 

<span>Equate dy/dn = 0, then solve for n 
k(9 - n^2) / (9 + n^2)^2 = 0 
k(9 - n^2) = 0 
9 - n^2 = 0 
n^2 = 9 
n = sqrt(9) 
n = 3 

<span>Answer: The nitrogen level that gives the best yield of agricultural crops is 3 units.</span></span></span></span>

What is your REASONING for this CLAIM? EXPLAIN WHY your claim is true.
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

IV: speed of the fan

DV: time of cup ascent

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy of mass in motion. The kinetic energy of an object is the energy it has because of its motion. As the speed of the fan increases, so does the kinetic energy, then it transfers energy to the Cup ascent.

Vladimir [108]

Answer: 65.9^{\circ}

Explanation:

Given

Intensity must be reduced by a factor of 6

Intensity is given by I=I_o\cos ^2\theta\\

Substitute I by \frac{I_o}{6}

\Rightarrow \dfrac{I_o}{6}=I_o\cos ^2\theta\\\\\Rightarrow \cos^2\theta =\dfrac{1}{6}\\\\\Rightarrow \cos \theta=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{6}}\\\\\Rightarrow \theta=65.9^{\circ}

So, the disk must be rotated by an angle of 65.9^{\circ} .
