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

Find the standard equation of a parabola with a vertex of (-3,1)
kkurt [141]
1. Parabola's equation is y = a(x + b)^2 + c, where (b, c) is the vertex.
2. We have y = a(x - 3)^2 + 1
3. Take everything to the left side:
-a(x - 3)^2 + y - 1 = 0
That's the standard equation. Hope this helps! :)

Why is the answer for letter b 9?
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Take a look at the 'proof' below

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph of the function g(x) is similar to that of the function f(t). The local minimum, local maximum, absolute minimum, maximum etc... of 'x' is always the closest x-intercept of the graph of f(t).

Let's check if this statement is right. The two local minimum(s) of the function f(t) occurs at x = 2, and x = 6. The two local maximum(s) occur at 1/4 and 4. As you can see the maximum / minimum of the function g(x) is always an x-intercept, x = 3, x = 7.

For part (b) the absolute maximum value of the function f(t), is 8. The closest x-intercept is 9, which is our solution.
