- 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_forwardSuppose the taxes a company pays are approximately T(p) = 0.25p + 15.1 thousand dollars, where p is the company's annual profit in thousands of dollars.
