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.

It takes Mia 1/4 hour to pick out all beads and 1/10 hour to string them. If she only has 5 and 1/4 to make bracelets how many w
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

Mia take 1/4 and 1/10 hours to create a bracelet. This is 1/4 + 1/10 = 10/40 + 4/40 = 14/40 = 7/20.

It takes her a total of 7/20 hours to make the bracelet. She has 5 1/4 hours to work. To find the number of bracelets she can make divide 5 1/4 by 7/20.

Write first 5 1/4 as a mixed number. 21/4. Then rewrite it as multiplication with the reciprocal of 7/20 to divide fractions.

21/4 * 20/7 = 420/28 = 15

She will make 15 bracelets.
