Answer:

Undefined.

Explanation:

This is a vertical line, and this line will have an undefined slope.

So the answer is x=-1 is undefined.

In a single growing season at the smith family orchard, the average yield per apple tree is 150 apples when the number of trees
Mariana [72]

Answer:

100 trees should be planted per acre to maximize the total yield (15000 apples per acre)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Functions </u>

Expressing some quantities in terms of other(s) comes in handy to understand the behavior of the situations often modeled by those functions.

Our problem tells us about the smith family orchard, where the average yield per apple tree is 150 apples when the number of trees per acre is 100 (or less). But the average yield per tree decreases when more than 100 trees are planted. The rate of decrease is 1 for each additional tree is planted

Let's call x the number of trees planted per acre in a single growing season. We have two conditions when modeling:  when x is less than 100, the average yield per apple tree (Ay) is (fixed) 150.

Ay(x)=150\ ,\ x\leqslant 100

When x is more than 100:

Ay(x)=150-x\ ,\ 100< x\leqslant 150

The upper limit is 150 because it would mean the Average yield is zero and no apples are to be harvested

Part 1

We are asked what happens if the number of trees per acre was doubled, but we don't know what the original number was. Let's make it x=60

If x=60, then we must use the first function, and

Ay(60)=150

The yield per acre will be 150*60=9000 apples

If we doubled x to 120, we would have to use the second function

Ay(120)=150-x=30

The yield per acre will be 30*120=3600 apples

Note that doubling the number of trees would make the production decrease

If we started with x=30, then  

Ay(30)=150, and we would have 150*30=4500 apples per acre

We already know that for x=60 (the double of 30), our production will be 9000 apples per acre

This shows us that in some cases, increasing the number of trees is beneficial and in other cases, it is not

Part 2

The total yield is computed as

Y(x)=x.Ay(x)

This function will be different depending on the value of x

Y(x)=150x\ ,\ x\leqslant 100

Y(x)=150x-x^2\ ,\ 100< x\leqslant 150

To find the maximum total yield we take the first derivative

Y'(x)=150\ ,\ x\leqslant 100

Y'(x)=150-2x\ ,\ 100< x\leqslant 150

The first expression has no variable, so the total yield must be evaluated in the endpoints

Y(0)=0

Y(100)=15000

Now, the second expression contains variable, it will be set to 0 to find the critical point

150-2x=0

x=75

x is outside of the boundaries, we cannot find the maximum in this interval

Answer: 100 trees should be planted per acre to maximize the total yield (15000 apples per acre)

Extension question (provide a full explanation of your method(s):
Volgvan

Answer:

Ann has little chance to win if she is presented with 4 counters.

Ann can always win from a pile of 6 counters.

(both are explained below)

Step-by-step explanation:

If Ann  is presented with 4 counters, and

1. if she takes out 3, she will lose since the opponent will  pull out 1 and the last one.

2. if she takes 2 her opponent will take out 1 and she can't pull out the last 1 since her opponents last move was to pull out 1  counter so she will lose.

3. If she takes out 1 and her opponent takes out 3 in the next move she loses.

but if instead of 3 her opponent takes out 2 and in the last move Ann takes out the last 1  then she will win.

So, If Ann is presented with 4 counters she has little chance to win provided in the move just before, her opponent didn't move 1 counter.

Now,

if there is 6 counters to Ann, and

1., if Ben's  previous move was 1 then Ann can win if she takes out 3 or 2.

If she takes out 3 Ben can take out 1 or 2 and in the last move she will take out 2 or 1 (respectively) and winning the game.

If she takes out 2 Ben can  take out 1 or 3 and in the last move Ann wins by pulling out 3 or 1 respectively.

2. if Ben's  previous move was 2 then Ann can win if she takes out 1 or 3.

If she takes out 1 Ben can take out 2 or 3 and in the last move she will take out 3 or 2(respectively) and winning the game.

If she takes out 3 Ben can  take out 1 or 2 and in the last move Ann wins by pulling out 2 or 1 respectively.

2. if Ben's  previous move was 3 then Ann can win if she takes out 1 or 2.

If she takes out 1 Ben can take out 2 or 3 and in the last move she will take out 3 or 2(respectively) and winning the game.

If she takes out 2 Ben can  take out 1 or 3 and in the last move Ann wins by pulling out 3 or 1 respectively.

Tom drives a truck. His regular trip is a distance of 280 km. He drives at an average speed of 80 km/h. For safety reasons Tom’s
kakasveta [241]
Cost of fuel = 30% of $400 000 = 30/100 x 400000 = $120 000

Fuel amount = $120 000/$1.5 = 80 000 liters
new cost of fuel = 80000 x $1.6 = $144 000

increase in cost = 144000 - 120000 = $24000

So the increase in petrol price increases the operating cost by $24000
