Answer:

  58

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of trees in a row that starts and ends with a rambutan tree is ...

  4n -3 . . . . for n rambutan trees

So, the number of rambutan trees that there can be in a row of 230 trees is ...

  4n -3 ≤ 230

  4n ≤ 233

  n ≤ 233/4 = 58 1/4

The largest possible number of rambutan trees in a row of 230 trees is 58.

_____

1 rambutan tree: R . . . n=1, tree count = 1

2 rambutan trees: RpppR . . . n=2, tree count = 5

3 rambutan trees: RpppRpppR . . . n=3, tree count = 9

The tree count is an arithmetic sequence with first term 1 and common difference 4. Then the n-th term of the sequence is ...

  tn = a1 +d(n -1) = 1 +4(n -1) = 4n -3

Term 58 is ...

  t58 = 4·58 -3 = 229

So, the row of trees might be ...

  RpppRppp ... RpppRpppRp . . . . with 58 R and 172 p.

Write the equation of the line shown
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

y = \frac{1}{2} x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

calculate m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, 1) ← 2 points on the line

m = \frac{1-0}{0-(-2)} = \frac{1}{0+2} = \frac{1}{2}

the line crosses the y- axis at (0, 1 ) ⇒ c = 1

y = \frac{1}{2} x + 1 ← equation of line
