There are 50 apple trees in an orchard. Each tree produces 800 apples. For each additional tree planted in the orchard, the outp

ut per tree drops by 10 apples. This is represented by p=40,000+300x-10x^2, where P stands for the total production of apples and x stands for the number of trees added.
a. What is the maximum number of trees that should be added to get the maximum amount of production?

b. What is the maximum production of apples?

Answer:

  1. <em> 15</em>
  2. <em> 42,250</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is,

P=40000+300x-10x^2

where,

P = the total production of apples,

x = the number of trees added.

As the quadratic function has a negative leading coefficient, so it will open downward and at the vertex the value of function is maximum.

The vertex will be at \left(-\dfrac{b}{2a},-f\left(\dfrac{b}{2a}\right )\right)

The value of the function will be maximum at,

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

Putting the values,

x=-\dfrac{300}{2\times (-10)}=\dfrac{300}{2\times 10}=\dfrac{300}{20}=15

So at x=15 or for 15 number of trees the production will be ,maximum.

Putting x=15 in f(x) will yield the maximum production of apples.

P=40000+300(15)-10(15)^2=42,250

The diagram shows the cross-section of a wall of a cinema. It has to be painted. Work out the area that needs to be painted.
mestny [16]

Answer:

Area = 370 m²

Cost to paint = £105

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the wall of a cinema hall = Area of a trapezoid (1)+ Area of a rectangle (2) + Area of a trapezoid (3)

Area of a trapezoid = \frac{1}{2}(b_1+b_2)h

where b_1 and b_2 are the parallel sides and h is the distance between these sides.

Area of trapezoid (1) = \frac{1}{2}(11+12)\times 6

                                  = 69 m²

Area of the rectangle (2) = Length × Width

                                         = 12 × 15

                                         = 180 m²

Area of the trapezoid (3) = \frac{1}{2}(12+10)\times 11

                                         = 121 m²

Now area of the wall = 69 + 180 + 121

                                   = 370 m²

One tin covers the area = 25 m²

Number of tins required to paint the wall = \frac{\text{Total area}}{\text{Area covered by one tin}}

= \frac{370}{25}

= 14.8

Therefore, number of tins to be purchased = 15

Cost to paint the complete wall = 15 × £7

                                                       = £105
