Answer: 11,544 pieces of candy are made per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

  • <em>Gallons of corn syrup used: 8 </em>
  • <em>Pieces of candy produced: 1,776 </em>
  • <em>gallons of corn syrup per hour: 52 </em>

If we apply proportions:

8 /1,776 = 52/x

Where x is the pieces of candy made per hour.

Solving

x = 52x1, 776 /8

x = 11,544

11,544 pieces of candy are made per hour.

Reika [66]
If you notice the picture below, the amount of fencing, or perimeter, that will be used will be 3w + 2l

now    \bf \begin{cases}&#10;A=l\cdot w\\\\\&#10;A=3000000\\&#10;----------\\&#10;3000000=l\cdot w\\\\&#10;\frac{3000000}{w}=l&#10;\end{cases}\qquad thus&#10;\\\\\\&#10;P=3w+2l\implies P=3w+2\left( \cfrac{3000000}{w} \right)\implies P=3w+\cfrac{6000000}{w}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;P=3w+6000000w^{-1}\\\\&#10;-----------------------------\\\\&#10;now\qquad \cfrac{dP}{dw}=3-\cfrac{6000000}{w^2}\implies \cfrac{dP}{dw}=\cfrac{3w^2-6000000}{w^2}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\textit{so the critical points are at }&#10;\begin{cases}&#10;0=w^2\\\\&#10;0=\frac{3w^2-6000000}{w^2}&#10;\end{cases}

solve for "w", to see what critical points you get, and then run a first-derivative test on them, for the minimum

notice the 0=w^2\implies 0=w   so.  you can pretty much skip that one, though is a valid critical point, the width can't clearly be 0

so.. check the critical points on the other
