Answer

number of trees $n = 50$ maximum yield of apples $A(n)= 22500$

Work Step by Step

Calculate the maximum of the function by substituting the values from the function into $n_{MAX}=\frac{-b}{2a}\rightarrow n_{MAX}=50$ which is the number of trees planted. Then substitute $n=50$ into the function to get the maximum yield of apples.
