Mathematics

Answer:

11/6

Step-by-step explanation:

To isolate the y on one side of the equation, you must first subtract 11x from both sides. Then the equation becomes -6y = -11x - 36.

Then you must divide both sides by -6 to isolate the y. The coefficient of the variable x becomes -11/-6, which is just 11/6.

walnut grower estimates from past records that if 20 trees are planted per acre, then each tree will average 60 pounds of nuts p

laila [671]

Answer:

5 trees should be planted to maximize the yield per acre,

The maximum yield would be 1250

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The original number of trees per acre = 20,

Average pounds of nuts by a tree = 60,

Let x be the times of increment in number of trees,

So, the new number of trees planted per acre = 20 + x

∵ for each additional tree planted per acre, the average yield per tree drops 2 pounds,

So, the new number of pounds of nut = (60 - 2x)

Thus, the total yield per acre,

$Y(x) = (20+x)(60-2x)$

Differentiating with respect to t ( time ),

$Y'(x) = (20+x)(-2) + 60 - 2x = -40 - 2x + 60 - 2x = 20 - 4x$

Again differentiating with respect to t,

$Y''(x) = -4$

For maxima or minima,

$Y'(x) = 0$

⇒ 20 - 4x = 0

⇒ 20 = 4x

⇒ x = 5,

For x = 5, Y''(x) = negative,

Hence, Y(x) is maximum for x = 5,

And, maximum value of Y(x) = (20+5)(60 - 10) = 25(50) = 1250,

i.e. 5 trees should be planted to maximize the yield per acre,

and the maximum yield would be 1250 pounds

A population of 200 animals has a growth rate of 1.03% each year. at this growth rate, the function f(x)=200(1.03)^x gives the p

Y_Kistochka [10]

For this case, the first thing we should do is use the following equation:
f (x) = 200 (1.03) ^ x
We substitute f (x) = 300:
300 = 200 (1.03) ^ x
We clear the value of x:
log1.03 (300/200) = log1.03 ((1.03) ^ x)
x = log1.03 (300/200)
x = 13.72
Answer:
the population will first reach 300 in about 13.72 years.

The table below shows selected points from a function.

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Rate Of Change Of Functions </em>

Given a function y=f(x), the rate of change of f can be computed as the slope of the tangent line in a specific point (by using derivatives), or an approximation by computing the slope of a secant line between two points (a,b) (c,d) that belong to the function. The slope can be calculated with the formula

$\displaystyle m=\frac{d-b}{c-a}$

If this value is calculated with any pair of points and it always results in the same, then the function is linear. If they are different, the function is non-linear.

Let's take the first two points from the table (1,1)(2,4)

$\displaystyle m=\frac{4-1}{2-1}=3$

Now, we use the second and the third point (2,4) (3,9)

$\displaystyle m=\frac{9-4}{3-2}=5$

This difference in values of the slope is enough to state the function is non-linear

Answer: True

An airplane left Miami, FL. At the same time another plane left Santiago, Chile. The two planes flew toward each other at rates

Nina [5.8K]

Since we know that LCM of both 625&575 is 14375, we must find the hours it took for both planes to arrive at this same destination.

Plane 1(625): Took 23 hours to arrive.

Plane 2(575): Took 25 hours to arrive.

Therefore, the answer should be from 23-25 hours to arrive or if looking for middle number, 24 hours exactly.

Hope this helps.
