James has noticed that the number of new tree branches that have grown on a tree in his backyard each year follows the sequence
1,3,5,7,… 1 , 3 , 5 , 7 , … meaning there was 1 1 new branch at 0 0 years, 3 3 new branches at 1 1 year, 5 5 new branches at 2 2 years, and so on. If f(n)
f
(
n
)
represents the sequence, determine the number of new branches the tree will have at 10
10
years.
Enter the value of f(n)
f
(

at f(10).
f(10)= [] ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯

To do this we need to find the factors of 60 these are: 1 and 60 2 and 30 3 and 20 4 and 15 5 and 12 6 and 10 There is 1 pair that have a difference of 7 and that is 5 and 12
