Let \"+R+\" = the revenue per year
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"+n+\" = the number of trees planted per year ( n is greater than 100 )
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+R+=+90%2A100+%2B+%28+n+-+100+%29%2A%28+90+-+.5n+%29+\"

\n" ); document.write( "The maximum \"+n+\" is at:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+n%5Bmax%5D+=+%28-140%29%2F%282%2A%28-.5%29%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+n%5Bmax%5D+=+140+\" trees
\n" ); document.write( "Plug this value back into equation
\n" ); document.write( "\"+R%5Bmax%5D+=-+.5%2A140%5E2+%2B+140%2A140++\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+R%5Bmax%5D+=+9800++\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+R%5Bmax%5D+=+9800+\"
