Answer:
The y-intercept of the function is: b=10
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the table
x y
1 8
2 6
3 4
4 2
Taking any two points to find the slope
- (1, 8)
- (2, 6)
The slope between (1, 8) and (2, 6) is:
We know that the slope-intercept form of the line equation is
where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Substituting m=-2 and any point i.e. (1, 8) in the slope-intercept form of the line equation to find the y-intercept (b).
8 = -2(1) + b
8 = -2 + b
b = 8+2
b = 10
Thus, the y-intercept of the function is: b=10
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,
Differentiating with respect to t ( time ),
Again differentiating with respect to t,
For maxima or minima,
⇒ 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
