Answer:
16428 oranges
Explanation:
Total yield = number of trees × number of oranges in each tree
Initial yield = 600×24= 14400 oranges
To find the equation needed, let x = additional trees and y= total yield
Number of trees = 24 +x
Number of oranges in each tree = 600-12x
Equation of total yield y= (24+x)(600-12x)
y= 14400-288x+600x-12x²
y= -12x²+312x+14400
Using a graphing calculator, from the graph drawn for this quadratic equation, we notice that it is a parabola. Therefore to find the maximum value, we should find the maximum point which is at the vertex of the parabola, we use the formula x= -b/2a
A quadratic equation is such: ax²+bx+c
Therefore x =-312/2×-12
x= -312/-24
x= 13
So we can conclude that in order to maximise oranges from the trees, the person needs to plant an additional 13 trees. Substituting from the above:
24+x=24+13= 37 trees in total
y= -12x²+312x+14400= -12×13²+312×13+14400= -2028+4056+14400
=16428 oranges in total yield
Answer:
100.04
Step-by-step explanation:
(x+2)(2x-5)=56
2x^2-5x+4x-10=56
2x^2-x-10=56
2x^2-x-66=0
2x^2-12x+11x-66=0
2x(x-6)+11(x-6)=0
(2x+11)(x-6)=0, since x is a measurement x>0 so:
x=6cm
Answer:
r=7
Step-by-step explanation:
5r-7=2r+14
add sevento both sides
5r=2r+21
Subtract 2r from both sides.
3r=21
divide both sides by 3
r=7
Answer:
Side length of square (inches): 1 ,2, 4, 7
Perimeter of square (inches). : 4, 8, 16, 28
Step-by-step explanation:
Ratio is 1:4 (S:P).
So:
#:8, #=2. This is because 2/8 and 1/4 both = 0.25.
#:16, #=4. 4/16=0.25
7:#, #=28. 4x7=28, 7/28=0.25
Hope that helps
