Given that the vertex is at (50, 1000), the max profit is $1000 when 50 items are produced
<h3>
Answer: 40 inches</h3>
==========================================================
Explanation:
- x = first piece
- 2x = second piece, since its twice as long as the first
- 5x = third piece, since its five time as long as the first
x is some positive real number, and the units of each are in inches.
Add up the smaller pieces and we should get 64 inches back again
x+2x+5x = 64
8x = 64
x = 64/8
x = 8
The first piece is 8 inches long.
2x = 2*8 = 16 is the length of the second piece (in inches)
The third piece is 40 inches because 5x = 5*8 = 40
--------
Summary:
first = 8 inches
second = 16 inches
third = 40 inches
Check: 8+16+40 = 64, which confirms the answer
After the first 18 years, the population of 1500 will be doubled to 3000.
After the next 18 years, making 36 years total, the population of 3000 will double to 6000.
1/2 is equivalent to 50%
3/4 is equivalent to 75%
75% > 50% (75% is larger than 50%)
75% = 3/4
The answer is 3/4
Hope the answer helps :)
