The side opposite to angle B is the side that does not contact with angle B.
In this attached image, you can see better that sides AB and BC is in contact with angle B. So, the opposite side to angle B is AC.
Therefore, the lenght of the side opposite to angle B is 4 units.
Answer:
5 trees should be planted to maximize the yield per acre,
The maximum yield would be 1250
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
The original number of trees per acre = 20,
Average pounds of nuts by a tree = 60,
Let x be the times of increment in number of trees,
So, the new number of trees planted per acre = 20 + x
∵ for each additional tree planted per acre, the average yield per tree drops 2 pounds,
So, the new number of pounds of nut = (60 - 2x)
Thus, the total yield per acre,
Differentiating with respect to t ( time ),
Again differentiating with respect to t,
For maxima or minima,
⇒ 20 - 4x = 0
⇒ 20 = 4x
⇒ x = 5,
For x = 5, Y''(x) = negative,
Hence, Y(x) is maximum for x = 5,
And, maximum value of Y(x) = (20+5)(60 - 10) = 25(50) = 1250,
i.e. 5 trees should be planted to maximize the yield per acre,
and the maximum yield would be 1250 pounds
