Answer:

The farmer should plant 14 additional trees, for maximum yield.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Trees = 24

Yield = 104

x \to additional\ trees

So, we have:

Trees = 24 + x

Yield = 104 - 2x

Required

The additional trees to be planted for maximum yield

The function is:

f(x) = Trees * Yield

f(x) = (24 + x) * (104 - 2x)

Open bracket

f(x) = 24 * 104 + 104x - 24 * 2x - x * 2x

f(x) = 2796 + 104x - 48x - 2x^2

f(x) = 2796 + 56x - 2x^2

Rewrite as:

f(x) = - 2x^2 + 56x + 2796

Differentiate

f'(x) = -4x + 56

Equate f'(x) = -4x + 56 to 0 and solve for x to get the maximum of x

-4x + 56 = 0

-4x =- 56

Divide by -4

x =14

The farmer should plant 14 additional trees, for maximum yield.

PLEASE HELPPPPPPP!!!!!!
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

$64.80

Step-by-step explanation:

First, calculate the sales tax

Convert 8% into a decimal

8/100=0.08

Multiply the decimal by the cost of the game

60*0.08=4.8

$4.80 is just the tax, we have to find the total cost

Add the tax and the cost of the game

60+4.80=64.80

So, the total cost is $64.80

Hope this helps! :)
