Question

Please help..
Johnny has been planting blueberries in a garden in his backyard. Johnny started with blueberries in one square foot of garden modeled by the function s(x) = 10. He is allowed to convert more of the garden, and each additional square foot he maintains allows his blueberry plants to produce more by a rate of a(x) = 1.4x-2.

Explain to Johnny how to create an equation to predict the number of blueberries he can expect based on the number of square feet he maintains. Describe how to determine the number of blueberries he will grow with 5 square feet. Use complete sentences.

Answer 16

lem me go put my mango downstairs

Answer 17

Okay .-.

Answer 18

okay back

Answer 19

Did your mango have fun?

Answer 20

s(x) = 10
a(x) = 1.4x-2 <---- rate by which a blue berry production increases per plant

Answer 21

a(x) = 1.4x-2 <---- rate by which a blue berry production increases per sqr foot*

Answer 22

okay. So what do we do with s(x)

Answer 23

okay so since a(x) is the rate
Total production, for x>=1
s(x) * a(x) = Total production

Answer 24

err wait no

Answer 25

*waits* .-.

Answer 26

s(x) + s(x) * a(x) = Total production
^--- starting with this no matter what
increasing by a(x) factor on what he can produce at first so s(x) * a(x)

Answer 27

so 20 * a(x)= total

Answer 28

Let P(x) be the production function per square root for x>=1
P(x)=s(x)+s(x)*a(x)
= 10 + 10*(1.4x-2)

Answer 29

no do PEDMAS

Answer 30

But do we know what x is?

Answer 31

x is the number of square feet you want to maintain

Answer 32

so 5

Answer 33

no x is the additionat square feet you want to maintain

Answer 34

so when it asks how much he will maintain for 5, that means he's maintaining 4 more squre feet so

Answer 35

10+10(1.4(4)-2)=Production

Answer 36

p=23.6

Answer 37

wait no 72 sorry

Answer 38

So he can expect 72 blueberries?

Answer 39

do the arithmetic right

Answer 40

46?
