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>

Someone help me out with this

Answer: x = 10

Explanation: The bottom left angle is 90 degrees because of the symbol. ( Make sure you know this for future problems.) The whole triangle needs to add up to 180. This isn’t the right way to solve this kind of problem but I know how to solve it using this way and I know the at 10 is the right answer. The other two angles need to add up to 90 because 90 + 90 = 180. So basically I just substituted the same number into x until I added both outcomes and got 90. I hope you understand that cause I don’t really know how to explain it well. Let me try and show you.

3(x)+5 6(x)-5

Now you have to plug in the same number for x until both numbers add to ninety.

3(5)+5 6(5)-5.

( 5 isn’t the right number for x this is just an example. )

You end up with 20 for the first one, and 25 for the second one. 20 + 25 = 45 and 90 + 45 is only 135. So this means that 5 isn’t the right answer and you need to substitute a higher number in for x.

3(10)+5 6(10)-5

( This is the right setup. )

You end up with 35 for the first one and 55 for the second one after you distribute and solve. Now you have 35 and 55. 35 + 55 = 90 and 90 + 90 = 180. This is how you know that you are right. I hope this helps. :)
