Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A) Let x represent acres of pumpkins, and y represent acres of corn. Here are the constraints:
x ≥ 2y . . . . . pumpkin acres are at least twice corn acres
x - y ≤ 10 . . . . the difference in acreage will not exceed 10
12 ≤ x ≤ 18 . . . . pumpkin acres will be between 12 and 18
0 ≤ y . . . . . the number of corn acres is non-negative

B) If we assume the objective is to maximize profit, the profit function we want to maximize is ...
P = 360x +225y

C) see below for a graph
__
D) The profit for an acre of pumpkins is the highest, so the farmer should maximize that acreage. The constraint on the number of acres of pumpkins comes from the requirement that it not exceed 18 acres. Then additional profit is maximized by maximizing acres of corn, which can be at most half the number of acres of pumpkins, hence 9 acres.
So profit is maximized for 18 acres of pumpkins and 9 acres of corn.
Maximum profit is $360·18 +$225·9 = $8505.

See below
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) Field lines
A negatively charged particle has an electric field associated with it.
The field lines spread out radially from the centre of the point. They are represented by arrows pointing in the direction that a positive charge would move if it were in the field.
Opposite charges attract, so the field lines point toward the centre of the particle.
For an isolated negative particle, the field lines would look like those in Figure 1 below.
If two negative charges are near each other, as in Figure 2, the field lines still point to the centre of charge.
A positive charge approaching from the left is attracted to both charges, but it moves to the closer particle on the left.
We can make a similar statement about appositive charge approaching from the left.
Thus, there are few field lines in the region between the two particles.
(b) Coulomb's Law
The formula for Coulomb's law is
F = (kq₁q₂)/r²
It shows that the force varies inversely as the square of the distance between the charges.
Thus, the force between the charges decreases rapidly as they move further apart.
