A farmer has 240 acres to plant. He needs to decide how many acres of corn to plant and how many of oats. He can make $40 per acre profit for corn and $30 per acre for oats. However, the corn takes 2 hours of labor per acre to harvest and the oats only take 1 hour per acre. He only has 320 hours of labor he can invest. To maximize his profit, how many acres of each should he plan

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The acres of each the farmer must plant to obtain the maximum profit is:

160 acres of oat.80 acres of corn.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we're gonna take the data of the exercise:

Area: 240 acres.Profit of the corn: $40/acreProfit of the oat: $30/acreTime spent by corn: 2 hour per acre.Time spent by oat: 1 hour per acre.Total working time available: 320 hours.

Now, we're gonna suppose that all the area could be planted with corn (the most profitable), in this form, we obtain the highest profit to take this how reference:

Total profit with corn = area * profit of the cornTotal profit with corn = 240 acres * $40/acreTotal profit with corn = $9600

How you can see, $9600 is the highest profit that the farmer can obtain, but, as each acre of corn needs 2 hours, the farmer would need 480 hours of labor to plant all the area with corn, with the 320 hours availables, the farmer just could plant 160 acres of corn, therefore, the real profit would be:

Total profit with corn = 160 * $40Total profit with corn = $6400

Now, we're gonna make the same exercise but with the oats, to obtain the total profit with this:

Total profit with oat = area * profit of the oatTotal profit with oat = 240 acres * $30/acreTotal profit with oat = $7200

Taking into account the hours of labor availables, the oat gives $800 more profit than the corn, but in that case we'd lose 80 hours of labor that could be used to make a better profit, but, as the oat per hour of labor is more profitable, we're gonna use 2/3 of the area to plant oat and 1/3 to plant corn:

Area used for oat = 240 acres * 2/3Area used for oat = 160 acresArea used for corn = 240 acres * 1/3Area used for corn = 80 acres

How you can see, with 160 acres of oat, the farmer would need 160 hours of labor and, with 80 acres of corn, the farmer would need 160 hours of labor too, by this, we know all the available time will be used, now, we're gonna calculate the profit in each case:

Real profit with oat = used area * profit of the oatReal profit with oat = 160 acres * $30/acreReal profit with oat = $4800Real profit with corn = 80 acres * $40/acreReal profit with corn = $3200

The total profit to the farmer with this plan is:

Total profit = Corn profit + Oat profitTotal profit = $3200 + $4800Total profit = $8000

The profit with the given plan is $8000, that is better than the profit only with oat or corn separately and, this is the maximum profit the farmer can make.

Minimum or maximum value

Answers

The minimum is the smallest value in the data set. The maximum is the largest value in the data set.

To find the minimum or maximum value of a function:

We will set the first derivative of the function to zero and solve for x to get the critical point. If we take the second derivative or f''(x), then we can find out whether this point will be a maximum or minimum. If the second derivative is positive, it will be a minimum value.

A minimum or a maximum is called an extreme point. A local extreme point is the smallest or largest value in its neighborhood. If it is also the smallest or largest at the entire domain of the function, it is called a global extreme point. The local minima and maxima can be found by solving f'(x) = 0.

According to the findings, 40 of the adults who were not parents and 150 of the adults who were parents believed that the park should be expanded.

The park be expanded?

250 adults, 180 of whom are parents, leaving 70 adults who are not parents (250 - 180). According to the findings, 40 adults without children and 150 adults with children said the park should be expanded. Thus, 180 – 150 = 30 parents.

Parents: YES OR NO Not parents: 40 | 30 of 150

In this exercise, we must determine the values of the voters who supported expanding the parking lot, which requires that we:

Scores on the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (a standard IQ test) for the 20-to-34 age group are approximately normally distributed with μ = 110 and σ = 25. What percent of people aged 20 to 34 have IQs between 125 and 150?

Answers

The percentage of people aged 20 to 34 that  have IQs between 125 and 150 of people aged 20 to 34 have IQs between 125 and 150 is 21.94%

What is percentage?

Percentage simply means a proportion of the number as a fraction of 100

What percent of people aged 20 to 34 have IQs between 125 and 150?

Let X = Scores on the standard IQ test for the 20 to 34 age group

This implies that  X ~ Normal(x=110, б² = 25)

The z-score probability distribution for the normal distribution is given by;   Z  =   (x-ц)/б ~ N(0,1)

Recall that  population mean = 110 and standard deviation = 25

Now, the percent of people aged 20 to 34 have IQs between 125 and 150 is given by = P(125 < X < 150) = P(X < 150) - P(X  125)

 P(X < 150) = P(  <  ) = P(Z < 1.60) = 0.9452

 P(X  125) = P(    ) = P(Z  0.60) = 0.7258

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.60 and x = 0.60 which has an area of 0.9452 and 0.7258.

Therefore, P(125 < X < 150) = 0.9452 - 0.7258 = 0.2194 or 21.94%

The quadratic equation that describes the function is

Given is the table that describes the quadratic function h(x) as follows -

{x}                h{x}

2                  13

3                  22

The quadratic equation is of the form given -

y = ax² + bx + c

For the point (0, 1), we can write -

1 = c                                                      ..... Eq{1}

For the point (1, 6), we can write -

6 = a + b + 1

a + b = 5                                               ...... Eq{2}

For the point (2, 13), we can write -

13 = 4a + 2b + 1

4a + 2b = 12                                               ...... Eq{3}

From Eq{2}, we can write -

a = 5 - b

So, the equation 3 can be written as -

4(5 - b) + 2b = 12

20 - 4b + 2b = 12

20 - 2b = 12

2b = 8

b = 4                                    ...... Eq{4}

then

a = 1                                ...... Eq{5}

So, we can write the quadratic equation as -

f(x) = x² + 4x + 1

Therefore, the quadratic equation that describes the function is
