Answer:
- <em> 15</em>
- <em> 42,250</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
The given function is,
where,
P = the total production of apples,
x = the number of trees added.
As the quadratic function has a negative leading coefficient, so it will open downward and at the vertex the value of function is maximum.
The vertex will be at
The value of the function will be maximum at,
Putting the values,
So at x=15 or for 15 number of trees the production will be ,maximum.
Putting x=15 in f(x) will yield the maximum production of apples.
