19 trees should be planted to maximize the total
<h3>How many trees should be planted to maximize the total</h3>
From the question, we have the following parameters:
Number of apples, x = 18
Yield, f(x) = 80 per tree
When the number of apple trees is increased (say by x).
We have:
Trees = 18 + x
The yield decreases by four apples per tree.
So, we have
Yield = 80 - 4x
So, the profit function is
P(x) = Apples * Yield
This gives
P(x) = (18 + x) *(80 - 4x)
Expand the bracket
P(x) = 1440 - 72x + 80x - 4x^2
Differentiate the function
P'(x) = 0 - 72 + 80 - 8x
Evaluate the like terms
P'(x) = 8 - 8x
Set P'(x) to 0
8 - 8x = 0
Divide through by 8
1 - x = 0
Solve for x
x = 1
Recall that:
Trees = 18 + x
So, we have
Trees = 18 + 1
Evaluate
Trees = 19
Hence, 19 trees should be planted to maximize the total

Answer: B
Step-by-step explanation: A function is a relation in which each input value is paired to exactly one output value.
Technically, if you had the same input value twice and the same output value corresponded to each of those, it would still be a function because you are just repeating what you have twice.
However, most teachers want to think of it as each input value must have exactly one corresponding value to be a function.
1 inch= 12 miles
Multiply 6 1/2 inches by total number of miles per 1 inch (12).
= 6 1/2 * 12
convert to improper fraction
= 13/2 * 12
multiply numerators
= (13*12)/2
multiply in parentheses
= 156/2
divide
= 78 miles
ANSWER: (A) 78 miles

Answer: A. -1.8
Step-by-step explanation: Hi there!
First, we have to see the constant rate of change in the x and y values.
For x: 2
For y: -3.6
If the slope is m=y/x
then we can do
-3.6/2
that simplifies to
-1.8/1
which is
-1.8
Hope this answer helps you!
