A farmer has 500 acres of arable land on which he wants to plant potatoes and corn. The farmer has $40,000 available for plantin

g and $30,000 for fertilizer. Planting 1 acre of potatoes costs $90, and planting 1 acre of corn costs $50. Fertilizer costs $30 for 1 acre of potatoes and $80 for 1 acre of corn. (a) Find a system of inequalities that describes the number of acres of each crop that the farmer can plant with the available resources. (Let x and y be the numbers of acres of potatoes and corn, respectively.)

Answer:

90x+ 50 y ≤  $40,000------  A

30x+ 80y ≤ $ 30,000-------  B

x + y ≤ 500 --- C

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y be the numbers of acres of potatoes and corn, respectively.

Then according to the given conditions

90x+ 50 y ≤  $40,000------  A

30x+ 80y ≤ $ 30,000-------  B

x + y ≤ 500 --- C

where both x and y equal to or greater than zero and cannot take a value less than zero.

x + y ≤ 500 --- C

gives us an idea that the total arable land is less or equal to  500 acres.

90x+ 50 y ≤  $40,000------  A

tells us that the total cost of planting potatoes and corn is less or equal to $ 40,000

30x+ 80y ≤ $ 30,000-------  B

tells us that the total cost of fertilizers for  potatoes and corn is less or equal to $ 30,000

In each of these x and y cannot have negative values or less than zero.

The table below shows randy breuers height in inches leading into his teen years. The graph below displays a scatter plot of the
-Dominant- [34]
The least-square regression line has a slope of:

m=(nΣxy-ΣyΣx)/(nΣx²-ΣxΣx)

and a y-intercept of:

b=(Σy-mΣx)/n

In this case: n=7, Σxy=4899, Σy=391, Σx=85, Σx²=1153 so

m=(7(4899)-391*85)/(7(1153)-85*85))=1058/846

b=(391*846-85*1058)/(7*846)=34408/846

So the line of best fit is:

y=(1058x+34408)/846  and if we approximated this as your answers see to have done....

y=1.25x+40.67

Use the function below to find f(4).<br> f(x)= 1/3•4^x
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

f(4) = 85 1/3 or 85.333...

Step-by-step explanation:

To find f(4), you must substitute 4 in place of x whenever x appears:

f(x) = \frac{1}{3} * 4^{x}

f(4) = \frac{1}{3} * 4^{4}

Next, simplify the exponent:

f(4) = \frac{1}{3} * 256

Finally, multiply:

f(4) = 85 1/3 or 85.333...
