Math problem?

One would think that the more avocado trees planted per acre, the higher the yield of avocados. However, this is not the case. When more than a certain number of trees are present per acre, they tend to crowd one another and the yield per tree drops. The formula:

y=-0.01x^2+0.8x

Models the yield, y, in bushels of avocados per tree, when x trees are planted per acre. Graph the resulting parabola and calculate the coordinates of the vertex. Then describe what the vertex represents in practical terms.

  1. And how exactly are we to graph the parabola on here? Like this?
