Agriculture the number of apples produced by each tree in an apple orchard depends on how densely the trees are planted. If n trees planted on an acre of land, then each tree produce 900 - 9n apples, so the number of applesproduced per acre is A(n) = n(900 - 9n) How many trees should be planted per acre to obtain the maximum yield of apples?
Height of a football A football is thrown by a quarterback from the 10-yard line and caught by the wide receiver on the 50-yard line. The footballs path on this interval can be modeled by the quadratic function f(x)=120x2+3x19, where x is the horizontal distance in yards from the goal line and f(x) is the height of the football in feet. Find the maximum height reached by the football.

Size of High Schools The farm population has declined dramatically in the years since World War II, and with that decline, rural school districts have been faced with consolidating in order to be economically efficient. One researcher studied data from the early 1960s on expenditures for high schools ranging from 150 to 2400 in enrollment. He considered the cost per pupil as a function of the number of pupils enrolled in the high school, and he found the approximate formula C=7430.402n+0.00012n2 where n is the number of pupils enrolled and C is the cost, in dollars, per pupil. a. Make a graph of C versus n. b. What enrollment size gives a minimum per-pupil cost? c. If a high school had an enrollment of 1200, how much in per-pupil cost would be saved by increasing enrollment to the optimal size found in part b?
Agriculture At a certain vineyard it is found that each grape vine produces about 10 lb of grapes in a season when about 700 vines are planted per acre. For each additional vine that is planted, the production of each vine decreases by about 1 percent. So, the number of pounds of grapes produced per acre is modeled by An=700+n10-0.01n where n is the number of additional vines planted. Find the number of vines that should be planted to maximize grape production.
