Answer:

<em>1710 trees up to 2016 (not including 2016)</em>

<em>2100 trees up to 2016 (including 2016)</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Farm started with 30 trees in 2007.

Every year 40 more trees than the previous year.

It is actually an Arithmetic Progression (AP) with

First term, a = 30 and

Common Difference, d = 40

The AP will look like:

30, 70, 110, 150, ....

We have to find the sum of this AP upto 9 terms and 10 terms:

9 terms sum will give us the total number of trees up to 2016 (not including 2016).

10 terms sum will give us the total number of trees up to 2016 (including 2016).

Formula for sum of 'n' terms of an AP:

S_n=\dfrac{n}{2}(2a+(n-1)d)\\\Rightarrow S_9=\dfrac{9}{2}(2\times 30+(9-1)40)\\\Rightarrow S_9=\dfrac{9}{2}(60+320)\\\Rightarrow S_9=\dfrac{9}{2}(380)\\\Rightarrow S_9=9 \times 180 = 1710

S_{10}=\dfrac{10}{2}(2\times 30+(10-1)40)\\\Rightarrow S_{10}=5(60+360)\\\Rightarrow S_{10}=5 \times 420\\\Rightarrow S_{10}=2100

<em>1710 trees up to 2016 (not including 2016)</em>

<em>2100 trees up to 2016 (including 2016)</em>

A line has a slope of 1/2 and run =50. What is the rise
Svetllana [295]

Since 1/2 is one half, the rise must be half of the run, meaning that the rise would be 25.

Solve 5√3 as the square root of a single number​
Andreyy89

Answer:

/75

Step-by-step explanation:

As I couldn't take the radical symbol I used this - "/".

5 /3

If 5 has to come in the radical sign it has to be squared

So, /25 × /3

/25×3

/75
