Thank you very much! I really appreciate the help!

ok, I got it now! Still, I find these sort of problems very hard to figure out. Are there steps I can follow to make it easier?

I'm not wanting you to give me the answer, honestly, but is there another way of giving me a hint?

I'm sorry, but it's really just not clicking. This is Grade 11 Pre-Cal. N = (20 + T)(300 - 10T)

Well, we're supposed to derive a quadratic equation from the problem. After having that, we use (-b)/2a to find the value of x, which gives the max. As for the equation, I get N = T * 300...but I know the 300 part is wrong. I'm missing something that isn't clicking.

Ok. 5890 6000 6090 6160 6210 6240 6250 6240 6210 6160 ... I see the pattern, but I'm having a lot of difficulty putting it in an equation.

[b]1. A farmer grows orange trees. He has 20 trees/hectare with 300 oranges/tree. When adding another tree to a hectare, the amount of oranges decreases by ten. What is the max yield of trees. (They want to know how many trees they should have in a hectare to maximize their orange production.)...
