3. In a single growing season at the Smith Family Orchard, the average yield per apple tree is 150 apples when the number of tre

es per acre is 100. For each additional tree over 100, the average yield per tree decreases by 1.
a. What would be the average yield per tree if the number of trees per acre was doubled? What would be the total yield in that case?
b. How many trees should be planted per acre to maximize the total yield?

Answer:

<em><u>A.10000</u></em>

<em><u>B.25 more trees must be planted</u></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

⇒Given:

  • The intial average yield per acre y_{i} = 150
  • The initial number of trees per acre  t_{i} = 100
  • For each additional tree over 100, the average yield per tree decreases by 1 i.e , if the number trees become 101 , the avg yield becomes 149.
  • Total yield = (number of trees per acre)*(average yield per acre)

<em>A.</em>

⇒If the total trees per acre is doubled , which means :

total number of trees per acre t_{f} = 2*t_{i} = 200

the yield will decrease by : t_{f} - y_{i}

y_{f}= 150-100= 50

⇒total yield = 50*200=10000

<em>B.</em>

⇒to maximize the yield ,

let's take the number of trees per acre to be 100+y ;

and thus the average yield per acre = 150 - y;

total yield = (100+y)*(150-y)\\=15000+50y-y^{2} \\

this is a quadratic equation. this can be rewritten as ,

     ⇒   =15000+50y-y^{2}\\=15000+625 - (625 - 50y +y^{2})\\=15625 - (y-25)^{2}

In this equation , the total yield becomes maximum when y=25;

<u><em>⇒Thus the total number of trees per acre = 100+25 =125;</em></u>

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

I don't know if it's correct

but I tried

Step-by-step explanation:

let the angle be x

20+4x+x=180

20+5x=180

5x=160

x=32

The graph of a quadratic function touches, but does not cross, the x-axis at x = 4. Which function represents this situation?
jek_recluse [69]
When a zero of a function does not cross the x-axis but touches it, this means that the zero is a "double root". It has two of the same factor (x - 4)^2 and two of the same zeros, x = 4 and x = 4
f(x) = x^2 - 8x + 16 would be the function with a double root at 4

The floor of a room measures 5 meters by 7 meters. A carpet sells 285 pesos per square meter. How much would it cost to carpet t
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Find the area of the rug by multiplying the length by the width:

7 x 5 = 35 square meters.

Now multiply the area of the rug by the cost:

35 square meters x 285 pesos per square meter = 9,975 total pesos.
