Answer:
a) Y(x) = {900, x≤30; 900-40(x-30), x>30}
b) T(x) = {900x, x≤30; 2100x-40x², x>30}
c) dT/dx = {900, x≤30; 2100-80x, x>30}
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The problem statement gives the function for x ≤ 30, and gives an example of evaluating the function for x = 35. So, replacing 35 in the example with x gives the function definition for x > 30.

__
b) The yield per acre is the product of the number of trees and the yield per tree:
T(x) = x·Y(x)

__
c) The derivative is ...

_____
The attached graph shows the yield per acre (purple, overlaid by red for x<30), the total yield (black), and the derivative of the total yield (red). You will note the discontinuity in the derivative at x=30, where adding one more tree per acre suddenly makes the rate of change of yield be negative.
The answer is 9x^8

Hey there!
3(4y - 12) = 0
3(4y) + 3(-12) = 0
12y - 36 = 0
Add 36 to both sides
12y - 36 + 36 = 0 + 36
Cancel out: -36 + 36 because it give you 0
Keep: 0 + 36 because it help solve for the equation
New equation: 12y = 0 + 36
Simplify it
12y = 36
DIVIDE 12 to both sides
12y/12 = 36/12
Cancel out: 12/12 because that give you 1
Keep: 36/12 because it give you the y-value (also known as your overall result)
New equation: y = 36/12
Simplify it
y = 3
Therefore, your answer should be:
y = 3
Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!

Answer:
12/17
Step-by-step explanation:
total number of marbles that are purple (11) plus the total number of marbles that are not small (15) minus the number of marbles that are both purple and not small (2)
11 + 15 - 2 = 24
over the total number of marbles (34)
24/34 simplifies to 12/17
