Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(x) = (1100 + x) (100 - .05(x-1100))

This is a quadratic, graphs as a parabola that opens downward. A maximum cam be found.

The zeros of the function are

(1100 + x) = 0 ..... or ..... [100 - .05(x-1100)] = 0

x = -1100 is the left x-intercept.

[100 - .05(x-1100)] = 0

100 = .05(x-1100)

2000 = x - 1100

x = 3100 is the right intercept.

Maximization of profits is at the mid point of the zeros (x-intercepts)

(3100 + -1100)/2 = 1000

1100 + 1000 = 2100 trees should be planted to maximize profits.

f(x) = (1100 + 1000) (100 - .05(1000-1100))

f(x) = (2000) (105) = 220,500 is the maximum profit.

I hope this helps!

A snack tray at a party has cheese squares with 2 grams of protein apiece and turkey slices with 3 grams of protein apiece. Whic
Andreyy89

Answer:

The inequality equation is 12 ≤ 2x + 3y

Step-by-step explanation:

Protein in a cheese square = 2 grams

Protein in a turkey square = 3 grams

And She can eat 12 or more grams of proteins

Let x be the number of cheese squares and y be the number of turkey squares that she eats.

So, we can write an inequality equation, that describes the given situation in the problem.

i.e. 2x + 3y ≥ 12  or 12 ≤ 2x + 3y

So the inequality equation is 12 ≤ 2x + 3y
