when does it make sense to compare the absolute values of numbers rather than the numbers themselves? Please respond

Answer:

When we are considering distance in relation to a fixed point

Step-by-step explanation:

When we consider , the distance of an object relative to a fixed point, it will make sense to compare the absolute values of numbers rather than the numbers themselves.

For instance, the depth of an object below see level is -32.

And also, the height of an object above see level 12.

This time it wouldn't make sense to to compare the numbers themselves to see which is farther from sea level but rather their absolute value.

walnut grower estimates from past records that if 20 trees are planted per acre, then each tree will average 60 pounds of nuts p
laila [671]

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

Which proportion could be used to find the length of side b?​
Goshia [24]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Sine Rule in ΔABC

\frac{a}{sinA} = \frac{b}{sinB} = \frac{c}{sinC}

∠C = 180° - (82 + 58)° = 180° - 140° = 40°

Completing values in the above formula gives

\frac{a}{sin58} = \frac{b}{sin82} = \frac{8.4}{sin40}

We require a pair of ratios which contain b and 3 known quantities, that is

\frac{b}{sin82} = \frac{8.4}{sin40}

OR

\frac{sin40}{8.4} = \frac{sin82}{b} → B
