Answer to Problem 12CFU
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The number of weeks is represented by x and profit is represented by P.
Average yield per acre = 120 bushels
Selling price of one bushel = $0.48
Increase in yield after waiting for a week = 10 bushels
Decrease in selling price of one bushel after waiting for a week to harvest = $0.03
Calculation:
The selling price of 120 bushels =
The yield increase per week =
The change in selling price after waiting for a week =
The profit of soybeans after waiting for x week =
Thus, the profit function can be represented as follows:
The graph for
b.
To find: the number of weeks of waiting in order to maximize profit.

Answer to Problem 12CFU
2 weeks
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Calculation:
The x represents the number of weeks and y represents the profit. The maximum point in the graph
The maximum profit is $58.8 per bushel. Thus, the profit will be maximized in 2 weeks.
c.
To find: the maximum profit.
c.

Answer to Problem 12CFU
$58.8 per bushel
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Calculation:
The x represents the number of weeks and y represents the profit. The maximum point in the graph
Thus the maximum profit is $58.8 per bushel.
d.
the risks of waiting.
d.

Answer to Problem 12CFU
Low yield of crops
Profit will decrease
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Calculation:
The x represents the number of weeks and y represents the profit. The maximum point in the graph
From the graph it is evident that the crop yield and maximum profit will be after 2 weeks. If the crops are not harvested for more than 2 weeks then it will be ruined.
Thus, as the time of waiting (in weeks) is increased more than 2 weeks then the crops yield will be low and there will be loss in the profit.

- A tank holds a 135 gal solution of water and salt. Initially, the solution contains 21 lb of salt. A salt solution with a concentration of 3 lb of salt per gal begins flowing into the tank at the rate of 3 gal per minute. The solution in the tank also begins flowing out at a rate of 3 gal per minute. Let y be the amount of salt present in the tank at time t. (a) Find an expression for the amount of salt in the tank at any time. (b) How much salt is present after 51 minutes? (c) As time increases, what happens to the salt concentration?arrow_forwardSolve please and thanks!arrow_forwardSolve please and thanks!arrow_forward
