An fruit grower knows from previous experience and careful data analysis that if the fruit on a specific kind of tree is harvested at this time of year, each tree will yield, on average, 130 pounds, and will sell for $0.6 per pound. However, for each additional week the harvest is delayed (up to a point), the yield per tree will increase by 7 pounds, while the price per pound will decrease by $0.02.A) How many weeks should the grower wait before harvesting the apples in order to maximize the sales revenue per tree? (Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a week.)Answer: (rounded to the nearest tenth)B) Use your answer in part A to find the actual maximum revenue that can be expected. (Round your answer to the nearest dollar.)Answer: dollars (rounded to the nearest dollar)

The work force of a certain factory is growing at rate of 2 per month while the average productivity of a worker is growing at a rate of 4 units per month. If the work force is currently 100 and the average productivity per month is 200 units, at what rate is the total productivity per month of the factory increasing?
An fruit grower knows from previous experience and careful data analysis that if the fruit on a specific kind of tree is harvested at this time of year, each tree will yield, on average, 126 pounds, and will sell for $4.7 per pound. However, for each additional week the harvest is delayed (up to a point), the yield per tree will increase by 1.8 pounds, while the price per pound will decrease by $0.06.A) How many weeks should the grower wait before harvesting the apples in order to maximize the sales revenue per tree? (Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a week.)
Suppose a student is a carrier of the flu virus and returns to his isolated campus of 1000 students. If it is assumed that the ratio with which the virus spreads is proportional to the product of the number x of infected students by the number of uninfected students, determine the number of infected students after 6 days if it is also observed that after four days there are 50 sick students. Suppose also that no one leaves campus while the illness lasts
In 1969, the National Academy of Sciences published a study titled "Resources and Man." That study places "the earth's ultimate carrying capacity at about 30 billion people, at a level of chronic near-starvation for the great majority (and with massive immigration to the now less-densely populated lands)!" The study goes on to state that 10 billion people is "close to (if not above) the maximum that an intensively managed world might hope to support with some degree of comfort and individual choice." The world population in 1990 was 5.283 billion; in 2000, it was 6.082 billion. (a) Develop the mathematical model that represents world population. (Write your model in terms of t, where t is the number of years after 1990. Let p represent the world population in billions. Round the coefficient of t to seven decimal places.) p(t) = ? (b) Use the model to predict when world population would reach the "somewhat comfortable" level of 10 billion. (Round your answer to the nearest whole…
1.2.3. Sociologists recognize a phenomenon called social diffusion, which is the spreading of a piece of information, a technological innovation, or a cultural fad among a population. The members of the population can be divided into two classes: those who have the information and those who do not. In a fixed population whose size is known, it is reasonable to assume that the rate of diffusion is proportional to the number who have the information times the number yet to receive it. If an denotes the number of people who have the information in a population of N people after n days, formulate a dynamical system to approximate the change in the number of people in the population who have the information.
