Question 904079: At a certain vineyard it is found that each grape vine produces about 10 pounds of grapes in a season when about 600 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
A(n) = (600 + n)(10 − 0.01n)
where n is the number of additional vines planted. Find the number of vines that should be planted to maximize grape production.
