A farmer uses x lb of fertilizer per acre at a cost of 1.4 per pound, leading to a revenue of R = 700 – 400e -x/100 dollars per acre.
(a) How many pounds of fertilizer should be applied per acre to maximize profit? Write you answer in decimal form rounding to three decimal places
Number
pounds per acre.
(b) What is the maximum profit on a 200 acre farm?
$ Number

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The cost can be written as:

C(x) = $1.4*x

The revenue can be written as:

R(x) = $700 - $400*e^(-x/100)

And as you know, the profit is written as the difference between the revenue and the cost:

P(x) = R(x) - C(x)

P(x) =  $700 - $400*e^(-x/100) - $1.4*x

Now we want to maximize this, then we must look at the zeros in the derivate of P(x)

dP/dx = P'(x) = (-1/100)*$400*e^(-x/100) - $1.4

The maximum will be when P'(x) = 0.

we can solve:

0 = (-1/100)*$400*e^(-x/100) - $1.4

$1.4 = (-1/100)*$400*e^(-x/100)

(-100)*$1.4 = $400*e^(-x/100)

$140 = $400*e^(-x/100)

($140/$400) = e^(-x/100)

0.35 = e^(-x/100)

Now we can apply the Ln() in both sides and get:

ln(0.35) = ln(e^(-x/100) ) = -x/100

-ln(0.35)*100 = x = 104.98

You should apply 104.90 pounds of fertilizer.

b) The profit per acre, is:

P(x) = $700 - $400*e^(-x/100) - $1.4*x

Then if you have 200 acres, the profit will be:

200*P(x) = 200*($700 - $400*e^(-x/100) - $1.4*x)

and the maximum profit is whit x = 104.98 pounds, then:

200*P(104.98) = 200*($700 - $400*e^(-104.98/100) - $1.4*104.98) = $82,604.98

Find the measures of the numbered angles in the figure, shown to the right. Name the theorem that justifies each
answer.
M<1=
M<2=
M<3=
M<4=

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

m∠1 + 75° = 180° [Linear pair of angles]

m∠1 = 180° - 75°

       = 105°

m∠2 = m∠1 [Opposite angles of a rectangle are equal]

m∠2 = m∠1 = 105°

m∠2 = m∠3 = 105° [Vertically opposite angles]

m∠3 = m∠4 = 105° [Corresponding angles]

Therefore, all four angles measure the same as 105°.

The population of bluegills (type of fish) has a mean length of 152.09mm and a standard deviation of 19.62mm. What is the probability that a random sample of 25 fish has a mean length of 140mm or shorter

Answers

Answer:

0.001035

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean (m) = 152.09 mm

Standard deviation (σ) = 19.62 mm

Sample size (n) = 25

Length being 140mm or shorter (x) : x ≤ 140

Using the Zscore relation :

Zscore = (x - m) / (σ/√n)

Zscore = (140 - 152.09) / (19.62/√25)

Zscore = (140 - 152.09) / (19.62/5)

Zscore = −3.081039

P(Z ≤ −3.08) = 0.001035

A red ball rolls for 6 meters across a sticky level surface and slows down to a stop. the ball was rolling at 36 meters per second when it began to roll across the sticky surface. find the acceleration, velocity final, the velocity initial, the velocity average, the distance the ball rolled, and the time of the balls roll across the sticky surface

Answers

Answer:

Please find the answer in the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a red ball rolls for 6 meters across a sticky level surface and slows down to a stop. the ball was rolling at 36 meters per second when it began to roll across the sticky surface. To find the acceleration, let us use third equation of motion

V^2 = U^2 + 2as

As the object is moving to stop, V = 0

0 = U^2 - 2as

36^2 = 2 × a × 6

1296 = 12a

a = 1296 / 12

a = 108 m/s

The velocity final = 0

The velocity initial = 36 m/s

the velocity average = (36 + 0)/2

Average velocity = 36/2 = 18m/s

the distance the ball rolled = 6m

and the time of the balls roll across the sticky surface will be achieved by using first equation of motion

V = U + at

V = 0

0 = 36 - 108t

108t = 36

t = 36 / 108

t = 0.3 seconds

3.65 ⋅ 100000 = 365,000

There are 5 zeroes on the last one.

Margaret said the exact product of 602 and 341 is 205,282. Is she correct? Use paper and the standard algorithm to support your reasoning.

Answers

Answer:

Yes, she is. The exact product of 602 and 341 is 205,282.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the exact product of 602 and 341, both numbers must be multiplied, obtaining the result. To do this, said number can be decomposed, to facilitate the operation and to be able to corroborate the accuracy of the result.

So, we can multiply 602 by 300, plus 602 by 40 and 602 by 1, and add the results.

Therefore, since 602 times 300 is equal to 180,600 (602 x 300 = 180,600); that 602 times 40 is equal to 24,080 (602 x 40 = 24,080); and since 602 times 1 is equal to 602, all those values must be added.

So 180,600 plus 24,080 equals 204,680. And in turn, 204,680 plus 602 equals 205,282. Therefore, the proposed result is correct.

Zeus weighs 5 pounds less than Athena.

To find:

The weight of Athena.

Solution:

Let x pounds be the weight of Athena.

Zeus weighs 5 pounds less than Athena.

Weight of Zeus = x - 5 pounds

Combine weight of two cats, Zeus and Athena = 13 pounds

[tex]x+(x-5)=13[/tex]

[tex]2x-5=13[/tex]

Add 5 on both sides.

[tex]2x=13+5[/tex]

[tex]2x=18[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2.

[tex]x=\dfrac{18}{2}[/tex]

[tex]x=9[/tex]

1-3 Function Operations and Composition Jim was given three functions and asked to determine f + (gon). The functions were f (x) = x2 g(x) = 3x + 1, and h(x) = 2x.

Jim should have added f and g first; ( + (gon)) = 4x2 + 6x + 1 O C. Jim incorrectly performed h og instead of goh: (f + g - h)) = x2 + x + 1. OD D. Jim did not follow the order of operations, I + (g o h)) = x2 + 6x + 2.​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the functions:

f (x) = x^2

g(x) = 3x + 1

h(x) = 2x

We are to look for  f + (goh)

First we need to get the composite function goh

goh = g(h(x))

g(h(x)) = g(2x)

To get g(2x) we will substitute x in g(x) as 2x as shown below:

Given g(x) = 3x+1

g(2x) = 3(2x)+1

g(2x) = 6x+1

f + goh = x² + (6x +1)

f + goh = x² + 6x +1

Jim wrote goh as 2(3x+1) instead of 3(2x) + 1. The composite function that Jim looked for was hog not goh.

The correct solution is f + goh = x² + 6x +1
