Answer:

The farmer should expect to LOSE 10 pounds of soybeans per acre per year

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=-x^2 + 20x + 100

just find how many soybeans his land will yield (per acre) after 10 and 20 years:

After 10: 200 pounds of soybeans/acre

After 20: 100 pounds of soybeans/acre

Because 10 years have passed and they lost 100 pounds of soybean production per acre, the farmer should expect to lose 10 pounds of soybeans per acre per year (-10 pounds of soybeans per acre/year)

IM SORRY BUT I NEED THIS QUESTION TOO ASAP PLEASE
Paraphin [41]

Using proportions, it is found that the amount of the novel she would have read is:

D. 14/15.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three. Due to this, relations between variables, either direct or inverse proportional, can be built to find the desired measures in the problem.

She has finished 5/6 of the novel, and will have read more 1/10 in the next two days, hence the total amount read is given by:

\frac{5}{6} + \frac{1}{10} = \frac{25 + 3}{30} = \frac{28}{30} = \frac{14}{15}

Hence option D is correct.
