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

Exercises Solve each inequality. Graph the solution set on a number line. 3x – 4 &lt; 17
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

x <7

Step-by-step explanation:

3x – 4 < 17

Add 4 to each side

3x – 4+4 < 17+4

3x < 21

Divide each side by 3

3x/3 < 21/3

x <7

Hannah is participating in a marathon. She can run 4 miles in 50 minutes. At this rate, how long will it take Hannah to run 30 m
ra1l [238]
The answer is c


Because if it takes 50 minutes to run 4 miles you need to divide 50/4 and you will get 12.5 and then multiply that by 30 cause she is trying to run 30 miles and that will get you 375 and then divide that by 60 cause their are 60 minutes in a hour and you will get 6.25

A ballplayer catches a ball 3.4s after throwing it vertically upward. with what speed did he throw it, and what height did it re
Daniel [21]

From the equation of motion, we know,

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^{2}

Where s= displacement

u= initial velocity

a= gravitational force

t= time

Displacement is 0 since the ball comes back to the same point from where it was thrown.  

A = -9.8m/s^{2} since the ball is thrown upwards.

Plug the known values into the equation.

=> 0=u\left ( 3.4 \right )+\frac{1}{2}\left ( -9.81 \right )(3.4^{2})

Solving for u gives :

u= 16.67 m/ sec ....... equation (1)

At maximum height, final velocity i.e v is 0

Time take to reach the top = \frac{3.4}{2} = 1.7 sec

v^{2}=u^{2}+2as

=> 0=(16.67)^{2}+2(-9.81)(s)

Solving for s we get

s= 14.16 m
