Answer:
The input have to be -9 to get output 214 with the rule y=-15x+79
Step-by-step explanation:
x is the input, y is the output so:
214 = -15x + 79
214 - 79 = -15x
15x = -135
x = -9
Answer:
B.
- 4x - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
(p о n) (x) is the same thing as (p(n(x))
We know n(x) = x - 5, so let's input that into our expression
(p(x - 5))
Since we know p(x) = x^2 + 6x, let's replace the x with the new value x-5. Now our expression is:
p(x) = (x - 5)^2 + 6(x - 5)
Now all we have to do is simplify.
(x - 5)^2 is the same as: (x - 5)(x - 5)
Using the foil method, it simplifies to: x^2 - 10x + 25
6 (x - 5) = 6x - 30
Now our expression is: x^2 - 10x + 25 + 6x - 30
Combine like terms: x^2 - 4x - 5
The expression is:
- 4x - 5
Answer:
52 Trees
Step-by-step explanation:
If she plants 85 trees per acre, each tree will yield 80 bushels of fruit.
Yield = 85 X 80
Let x be the additional tree planted per acre.
For each additional tree planted per acre, the yield of each tree will decrease by 4 bushels.
Therefore, the yield:

Next, we maximize F(x) by taking its derivatives and solving for its critical point.


It is apparent that she currently has too many trees per acre. To get a maximum harvest, she needs to reduce the number of trees by approximately 32.5 trees.
Therefore, number of trees per acre she should plant:
85+(-32.5)
=85-32.5
=52.5 Trees
Since the number of trees can only be an integer and it cannot be greater than 52.5, the number of trees to be planted per acre to maximize her harvest is 52.
It is just y=-4 since the line is horizontal
