She estimatesthat for each additional tree planted per acre, theyield of each tree will decrease by 3 bushels. Howmany trees should she plant per acre to maximizeher harvest?arrow_forwardLIFE SCIENCE APPLICATIONS Cost Analysis Acme Products sells a machine for doing a certain type of blood test for 40,000, which costs 20 for each use. Amalgamated Medical Supplies sells a similar machine for only 32,000, but it costs 30 for each use. How many times must the machines be used for the total cost to be equal?arrow_forward
- LIFE SCIENCE APPLICATIONS Cost Analysis Suppose a simple thermometer costs 10, but the cost to prepare the thermometer for the next patient costs 2. A more sophisticated thermometer costs 120 but costs only 0.75 to prepare for the next patient. How many patients would be required for the cost of the two thermometers to be equal?arrow_forwardWhen hired at a new job selling electronics, you aregiven two pay options: • Option A: Base salary of $20,000 a year with acommission of 12% ofyour sales • Option B: Base salary of $26,000 a year with acommission of 3% of your sales How much electronics would you need to sell foroption A to produce a larger income?arrow_forwardA soccer stadium holds 62,000 spectators. With aticket price of$11, the average attendance has been26,000. When the price dropped to $9, the averageattendance rose to 31,000.
