Question 3 (5pt): A chemical reaction. In an elementary chemical reaction,
single molecules of two reactants A and B form a molecule of the product C :
ABC. The law of mass action states that the rate of reaction is proportional
to the product of the concentrations of A and B:
d[C]
dt
= k[A][B]
(where k is a constant positive number). Thus, if the initial concentrations are
[A] =
= a moles/L and [B] = b moles/L we write x = [C], then we have

What you want to do is to maximize your average harvest per year over a full cycle. Of course there are costs to cutting the orchard down and replanting, but it turns out that we can ignore these. The first cost is the time it takes to cut the trees down and replant but we assume that this can effectively be done in a week, and the loss of time is negligible.
