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

er year. If, for each additional tree planted per acre, the average yield per tree drops 2 pounds, then how many trees should be planted to maximize the yield per acre? What is the maximum yield?

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

In the first half of a basketball game, a player scored 9 points on free throws and then scored a number of 2-port
Mashcka [7]

Answer: I thin The first one 2r+3r+9

Step-by-step explanation: Because he scored a number of 2 port shots which means he scored more than one but the 9 points is just 9 points from free throws which gives only 1 point each and 3 port shots and much as 2 point shots so 3r also

2r+3r+ just 9

Use The Divergence Theorem To Calculate The Surface Integral and Sis a sphere centered at the origin with a radius of 2. Confirm
marin [14]

Answer: hi your question is incomplete below is the complete question

Use the Divergence Theorem to calculate the surface integral S F dS   with F x y z = , , and S is a sphere centered at the origin with a radius of 2. Confirm your answer by computing the surface integral

answer : surface integral = 384/5 π

Step-by-step explanation:

Representing  the vector field as

F ( x, y , z ) = ( a^3 + y^3 ) + ( y^3 + z^3 ) + ( Z^3 + x^3 ) k

assuming the sphere ( s) with radius = 2 be centered at Origin of the vector field.

Hence the divergence will be represented as :
