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)
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, 127 pounds, and will sell for $4.6 per pound. However, for each additional week the harvest is delayed (up to a point), the yield per tree will increase by 2.1 pounds, while the price per pound will decrease by $0.07. 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 number of insects in a colony is known to multiply at a rate proportional to the number of insects present in the colony. On March 1, 2021, it was found out that there were 250 insects present in the colony. And 300 days after that, the number of insects increased to 250,000. Determine the number of insects present in the colony exactly after 3 years.

Suppose the half-life of caffeine in the bloodstream of a healthy adult is 6 hours. If the person consumes 200 mg of caffeine at 11:00 AM, how much caffeine is in their bloodstream at 11:00 PM? please give the process of the solution and make it understandable
The estimated Philippine population is 90 million in 2010 and the estimated growth rate was 2.4 % per year. That is n(2010) = 9 x107 and k= 0.024. So an equation for predicting the population with the stated initial condition and growth rate of 2010 is
The decay of radioactive elements can sometimes be used to date events from Earth’s past. In a living organism, the ratio of radioactive carbon, carbon-14, to ordinary carbon stays fairly constant during the lifetime of the organism, being approximately equal to the ratio in the organism’s atmosphere at the time. After the organism’s death, however, no new carbon is ingested, and the proportion of carbon-14 in the organism’s remains decreases as the carbon-14 decays. Scientists who do carbon-14 dating often use a figure of 5730 years for its half-life. Find the age of a sample in which 10% of the radioactive nuclei originally present have decayed.
The population of a certain state is known to grow at a rate proportional to the number of people presently living in the state. If after 10 years the population has trebled and if after 20 years the population is 150, 000, find the number of people initially living in the state.
