Matched problem 7 After further analysis, the walnut grower in Matched Problem 6 determines that each additional tree planted will reduce the average yield by 4 pounds. All other information remains the same. How many additional trees per acre should the grower plant now in order to maximize the yield? What is the new maximum yield?
Matched problem 8 A walnut grower estimates from past records that if 20 trees are planted per acre, then each tree will average 60 pounds of nuts per year. If. for each additional tree planted per acre, the average yield per tree drops 2 pounds, then how many trees should be planted to maximize the yield per acre? What is the maximum yield?

The pitch of a screw is the distance from the top of one thread to the same point on the top of the next thread. The lead is the distance the screw advances for each complete turn or revolution of the screw. In a double-threaded screw, the lead is twice the pitch. Given the number of turns and the amount of screw advance, determine the lead and pitch.arrow_forward
