Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A will give you the roots (the x intercepts) just by reading the numbers and doing a small adjustment.

x + 1 = 0

x = - 1 So one of the roots is (-1,0)

x + 5= 0

x = - 5 The other root is (-5,0)

A is not the answer.

I have graphed B so that you can see that A is true. See below, Even so, B is in standard form and it is not the answer.

The answer is C. The vertex is at 2,27

x - 2 = 0

x = 2

The maximum value is located at 27 which is just read.

That point (2,27) is plotted on the graph.

walnut grower estimates from past records that if 20 trees are planted per acre, then each tree will average 60 pounds of nuts p

laila [671]

Answer:

5 trees should be planted to maximize the yield per acre,

The maximum yield would be 1250

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The original number of trees per acre = 20,

Average pounds of nuts by a tree = 60,

Let x be the times of increment in number of trees,

So, the new number of trees planted per acre = 20 + x

∵ for each additional tree planted per acre, the average yield per tree drops 2 pounds,

So, the new number of pounds of nut = (60 - 2x)

Thus, the total yield per acre,

$Y(x) = (20+x)(60-2x)$

Differentiating with respect to t ( time ),

$Y'(x) = (20+x)(-2) + 60 - 2x = -40 - 2x + 60 - 2x = 20 - 4x$

Again differentiating with respect to t,

$Y''(x) = -4$

For maxima or minima,

$Y'(x) = 0$

⇒ 20 - 4x = 0

⇒ 20 = 4x

⇒ x = 5,

For x = 5, Y''(x) = negative,

Hence, Y(x) is maximum for x = 5,

And, maximum value of Y(x) = (20+5)(60 - 10) = 25(50) = 1250,

i.e. 5 trees should be planted to maximize the yield per acre,

and the maximum yield would be 1250 pounds

Joshua walked 14 feet down the hall of his house to get the door he continued in a straight line out the door and across the yar

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

Joshua walked 48 feet in total.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total distance we need to sum every distance that he walked. We have:

- First: Joshua walked down the hall to the door = 14 feet

- Second: He continued in a straight line out the door and across the yard to the mailbox = 24 feet

- Third: He came straight back across the yard and stopped to pet his dog = 10 feet

Hence, the total distance is:

$d_{T} = d_{1} + d_{2} + d_{3} = 14 ft + 24 ft + 10 ft = 48 ft$

Therefore, Joshua walked 48 feet in total.

I hope it helps you!

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

12.566

Step-by-step explanation:

A = ∫1/2(r)^2dtheta from a - b = 0 to 2π

∫1/2(sin^2theta-4sintheta+4)dtheta

[9/4theta+2costheta-1/8sin2theta] from 0 to 2π…

when you solve this you get 14.137 without taking out the cos(2theta+3)

A country's population in 1993 was 116 million.

labwork [276]

Answer:

124 million in 2007

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a proportion match question, we consider 121-116 to represent a 9 year change = 5 rate of change per 9 years. We need to find one year so we divide 5/9=0.55 per year growth. =2002- 2007= 0.55 million x 5 = 2.8million growth add 121 million = 121 =123.8 in 2007 = 124 million to nearest m.
