So for this problem, we will be using the exponential equation format, which is y = ab^x. The a variable is the initial value, and the b variable is the growth/decay.
Since our touchscreen starts off at a value of 1200, that will be our a variable.
Since the touchscreen is decaying in value by 25%, subtract 0.25 (25% in decimal form) from 1 to get 0.75. 0.75 is going to be your b variable.
In this case, time is our independent variable. Since we want to know the value 3 years from now, 3 is the x variable.
Using our info above, we can solve for y, which is the cost after x years.
In context, after 3 years the touchscreen will only be worth $506.
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
= 150
- The initial number of trees per acre
= 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 =
= 200
the yield will decrease by : -
⇒total yield =
<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 =
this is a quadratic equation. this can be rewritten as ,
⇒
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>
