### Problem 57

Agriculture The number of apples produced by each tree in an apple orchard depends on how densely the trees are planted. If $n$ trees are planted on an acre of land, then each tree produces $900-9 n$ apples. So the number of apples produced per acre is
$$A(n)=n(900-9 n)$$

### Problem 58

Agriculture At a certain vineyard it is found that each grape vine produces about 10 lb of grapes in a season when about 700 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
$$A(n)=(700+n)(10-0.01 n)$$
where $n$ is the number of additional vines planted. Find the number of vines that should be planted
to maximize grape production.
