An Apple Orchard Has an Average Yield of 37 Bushels

Multiple Choice

An apple orchard has an average yield of 37 bushels of apples/tree if tree density is 22 trees/acre. For each unit increase in tree density, the yield decreases by 3 bushels. Letting x denote the number of trees beyond 22/acre, find a function in x that gives the yield of apples.

A) f(x) = (22 + x) (37 - 3x)
B) f(x) = (22 - x) (37 + 3x)
C) f(x) = 3(22 - x) (37 - 3x)
D) f(x) = 3(22 + x) (37 - x)
E) f(x) = (22 + x) (37 + 3x)
