A fruit farmer finds that if she plants 50 trees per acre, each tree will yield 75 boxes of fruit per year. She estimates that for each additional tree planted per acre, the yield of each tree will decrease by 4 boxes. Let a represent the number of additional trees planted, where the yield is: y = (#trees) (boxes of fruit per tree). . How many total trees should she plant per acre to maximize her harvest? (hint: there could be more or fewer than 50 trees planted to do this) She should plant 34 total boxes of fruit. (Round your answers to the nearest whole number) total trees in each acre to maximize her yield of Number
