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,
Differentiating with respect to t ( time ),
Again differentiating with respect to t,
For maxima or minima,
⇒ 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
<h2>The cost is same for both the options if we purchase 27 photos</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost of a photo at a local store is $0.25 per photo. This cost can be modeled to be linear in number of photos as .
Cost of photos purchased online is $0.15 per photo. However there is a shipping cost of $2.70. This can also be modeled to be linear in number of photos as .
Let us assume both costs are the same if we purchase photos.
So,
∴ On purchasing 27 photos, cost for both the options is the same.
