Question
Forestry The Doyle Log Rule is one of several methods used to determine the lumber yield of a log (in board-feet) in terms of its diameter d (in inches) and its length L (in feet). The number of board-feet is
\(N(d, L)=\left(\frac{d-4}{4}\right)^{2} L\)
(a) Find the number of board-feet of lumber in a log 22 inches in diameter and 12 feet in length.
(b) Find N(30, 12).
Text Transcription:
N(d, L)=(d-4/4)^2 L
Solution
The first step in solving 13.1 problem number 75 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Forestry The Doyle Log Rule is one of several methods used to determine the lumber yield of a log (in board-feet) in terms of its diameter d (in inches) and its length L (in feet). The number of board-feet is\(N(d, L)=\left(\frac{d-4}{4}\right)^{2} L\)(a) Find the number of board-feet of lumber in a log 22 inches in diameter and 12 feet in length.(b) Find N(30, 12).Text Transcription:N(d, L)=(d-4/4)^2 L
From the textbook chapter Introduction to Functions of Several Variables you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
