- 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.arrow_forwardDecomposing Functions To join a book club, you pay an initial fee and then a fixed price each month for a book.

- 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?arrow_forwardFencing a Garden A determined gardener has 120 ft of deer resistant fence.
