5.7 – Quadratic Applications

20. Dee Side has a pig that presently weighs 200 pounds. She could sell it now for a price of $1.40 per
pound. The pig is gaining 5 pounds per week, and the price per pound is dropping 2 cents per week.

a. Write an equation for the total worth of the pig as a function of weeks.

b. When should Dee sell the pig to get the maximum amount of money for it?

21. The number of bushels of barley an acre of land will yield depends on how many seeds per acre you
plant. From previous planting statistics you find that if you plant 2 million seeds per acre, you can
 harvest 22 bushels per acre, and if you plant 4 million seeds per acre, you can harvest 40 bushels
per acre. As you plant more seeds per acre, the harvest will reach a maximum and then decrease.
This happens because the young plants crowd each other out and compete for food and sunlight.
Assume, therefore, that the number of bushels per acre you can harvest varies quadratically with
the number of millions of seeds per acre you plant.

a. Write 3 ordered pairs of (millions of seeds per acre, bushels per acre). The third ordered
pair is not given above, but should be obvious.

b. Write the particular equation for this function.

c. How many bushels per acre would you expect to get if you plant 16 million seeds per acre?

d. Based on your model, would it be possible to harvest 70 bushels per acre? Justify your
answer.

e. How much should you plant to get the maximum number of bushels per acre?

f. According to your model, is it possible to plant so many seeds that you harvest no barley at
all?

22. Old Faithful in Yellowstone Park sends a stream of boiling water into the air. During the eruption,
the height h (in feet) of the water t seconds after being forced out from the ground can be modeled
by h = −16t 2 + 150t .

a. What is the maximum height of the boiling water?

b. How long is the boiling water in the air?

c. When is the water 150 feet in the air?

23. Salvador hits a baseball at a height of 3 feet and with an initial upward velocity of 88 feet per
second.

a. Write an equation that gives the height as a function of time.

b. When will the ball be 24 feet above the ground?

c. What is the maximum height of the baseball?

d. If no one catches the ball, when will it hit the ground?
