Answer:
This question makes no sense
Step-by-step explanation:
Make XY tables for each option.
If any of the Tables have identical X numbers it is not a function.
The first option has two X's that re 2, so is not a function.
Second option has 2 x's that are 4's, so is not a function.
The third option has no repeating X values so is a function.
The fourth option has two -2's and two 0's so ids not a function.
The function is the third choice:
On a coordinate plane, solid circles appear at the following points: (negative 3, 2), (negative 2, 2), (0, 1), (1, 3), (2, negative 4), (4, negative 1).
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:
a is greater than or equal to 140
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply both sides by 7, which cancels out the 7 and turns 20 into 140
