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>

<h3>Answer: 5.5 which is choice B</h3>

Have a look at the diagram I posted below. I marked on your image to add in another angle. This angle is also 20 degrees because of congruent alternate interior angles (horizontal lines are parallel). This angle I add in is the reference angle of the triangle

opposite the reference angle is the vertical side x

adjacent to the reference angle is the horizontal side 15

We'll use the tangent rule. Make sure your calculator is in degree mode.

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(20) = x/15

15*tan(20) = x <<-- multiply both sides by 15

x = 15*tan(20)

x = 5.45955 <<--- use calculator; this is approximate

x = 5.5 <<--- round to one decimal place

Find the area of the hexagon.<br> A) 36 in2 <br> B) 52 in2 <br> C) 78 in2 <br> D) 144 in2
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer: C) 78 in2

Step-by-step explanation:

The polygon is divided into two trapezoids with equal measurements.

Area of a trapezoid:

1

2

(b1 + b2)h

Since the area of the hexagon equals the area of two trapezoids with equal measurements, do not multiply by 1/2.

(b1 + b2)h

(10 + 16)3

26(3)

78 in2
