Answer to Problem 12CFU

  P(x)=(120+10x)(0.480.03x)

  Advanced Mathematical Concepts: Precalculus with Applications, Student Edition, Chapter 3.6, Problem 12CFU , additional homework tip  1

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:

  P(x)=(120+10x)(0.480.03x)

The selling price of 120 bushels = (120)($ 0.48)

The yield increase per week = 120+10x

The change in selling price after waiting for a week = 0.480.03x

The profit of soybeans after waiting for x week = (120+10x)(0.480.03x)

Thus, the profit function can be represented as follows:

  P(x)=(120+10x)(0.480.03x)

The graph for P(x) is as follows:

Answer to Problem 12CFU

2 weeks

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

  P(x)=(120+10x)(0.480.03x)

Calculation:

The x represents the number of weeks and y represents the profit. The maximum point in the graph P(x) is shown below.

  Advanced Mathematical Concepts: Precalculus with Applications, Student Edition, Chapter 3.6, Problem 12CFU , additional homework tip  3

The maximum profit is $58.8 per bushel. Thus, the profit will be maximized in 2 weeks.

Answer to Problem 12CFU

$58.8 per bushel

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

  P(x)=(120+10x)(0.480.03x)

Calculation:

The x represents the number of weeks and y represents the profit. The maximum point in the graph P(x) is shown below.

  Advanced Mathematical Concepts: Precalculus with Applications, Student Edition, Chapter 3.6, Problem 12CFU , additional homework tip  4

Thus the maximum profit is $58.8 per bushel.

d.

To determine

the risks of waiting.

Answer to Problem 12CFU

Low yield of crops

Profit will decrease

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

  P(x)=(120+10x)(0.480.03x)

Calculation:

The x represents the number of weeks and y represents the profit. The maximum point in the graph P(x) is shown below.

  Advanced Mathematical Concepts: Precalculus with Applications, Student Edition, Chapter 3.6, Problem 12CFU , additional homework tip  5

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.
