Answer:

= 50 trees

Step-by-step explanation:

Let F be the number of fruit per acre  

F = (75 + x) × (20 - 3x)  

F = 75 × 20 - 75 * 3x + 75 × x - 3x^2  

F = 1500 - 225 x + 75x - 3x^2  

F = 1500 - 150x - 3x^2  

Factor out the 3 and complete the square (because this is a quadratic equation, we're going to find the vertex of the parabola):  

F = -3x^2 - 150x + 1500

F = -3 * (x^2 + 50x - 500)  

F = -3 * (x^2 + 2 * 25x + 25^2 - 25^2 - 500)  

F = -3 * ((x + 25)^2 - 500 - 625)  

F = -3 * ((x + 25)^2 - 625)  

F = -3 * (x + 25)^2 + 3375  

So the vertex is at (-25 , 3375)  

75 - 25 = 50  

The farmer should plant 50 trees per acre to maximize her yield
