At a certain vineyard it is found that each grape vine produces about 10 lb of grapes in a season when about 800 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) = (800 + n)(10 − 0.01n) where n is the number of additional vines planted. find the number of vines that should be planted to maximize grape production.
