Answer:

90000

Step-by-step explanation:

Y = x(600 - x)

Let's rearrange the equation so that we have

Y = x(-x + 600)

Y = -x² + 600

When you take a look at parabolas, we know that their maximum or minimum values are usually on the axis of symmetry. This axis of symmetry has an equation of

x = -b/2a,

In this question, the axis of symmetry is

x = -600 / -2

x = 300

This means that planting 300 trees will maximize your yield. If you substitute for x = 300 into the equation, the maximum yield will be

y = 300 (600 - 300)

y = 90000.

On a map the key indicates that 1/4 inch = 1/2 mile. if two cities on themap are 4 1/2 inches apart what is the distance between
Ilya [14]
Let the actual distance be x mile.
1/4 inch = 1/2 mile
9/2 inch = x mile
(9/2)/(1/4)=x/(1/2)
            18=2x
              x=9

the actual distance is 9 mile.
