Answer: 3 and 5
Step-by-step explanation: The mode is the number that appears most frequently in a data set.
Although it's optional I recommend writing these integers from least to greatest so it will be easier to see what number occurs most frequently.
Notice that there are two numbers (3 and 5) that appear most often (and the same number of times) which means the data set has two modes. When a data set has two modes, this is called bimodal.
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,
Differentiating with respect to t ( time ),
Again differentiating with respect to t,
For maxima or minima,
⇒ 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
