Answer:

No. Hank wont be able to complete the hike.

Step-by-step explanation:

Time Available for hike = 4 hours

The expression which represents the time Hank needs to complete the hike is:

\text{time}=\frac{1}{2}d+\frac{1}{2}e

d is the distance in miles of the hiking trail. Since, Hank would like to hike 6 miles, d = 6

e is the elevation gain in thousands. Since, the trail hank will hike on has an elevation gain of 3000, so e = 3

Using these values in the expression, we get:

\text{Time}=\frac{1}{2}(6)+\frac{1}{2}(3)=4.5

This means Hank should allow him 4.5 hours or the hike. Since he has only 4 hours available, he wont be able to complete the hike. So the answer to this question is No.

Simplify (3x)-1. A. 81x^4. B. 4x^6. C. 1/3x. D. 1/x^6
elena55 [62]
If you mean: (3x)^-1

When you have a power to a negative number (1 in this case), place the power on the numerator, with the base in the denominator.

(3x)^-1 = 1/3x

1/3x, or C) is your answer


hope this helps

A home gardener estimates that 24 apple trees will have an average yield of 104 apples per tree. But because of the size of the
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

The farmer should plant 14 additional trees, for maximum yield.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Trees = 24

Yield = 104

x \to additional\ trees

So, we have:

Trees = 24 + x

Yield = 104 - 2x

Required

The additional trees to be planted for maximum yield

The function is:

f(x) = Trees * Yield

f(x) = (24 + x) * (104 - 2x)

Open bracket

f(x) = 24 * 104 + 104x - 24 * 2x - x * 2x

f(x) = 2796 + 104x - 48x - 2x^2

f(x) = 2796 + 56x - 2x^2

Rewrite as:

f(x) = - 2x^2 + 56x + 2796

Differentiate

f'(x) = -4x + 56

Equate f'(x) = -4x + 56 to 0 and solve for x to get the maximum of x

-4x + 56 = 0

-4x =- 56

Divide by -4

x =14

The farmer should plant 14 additional trees, for maximum yield.
