This section has seven questions. Answer all questions. Write your answers in the spaces provided.

Spare pages are included at the end of this booklet. They can be used for planning your responses
and/or as additional space if required to continue an answer.
● Planning: If you use the spare pages for planning, indicate this clearly at the top of the page.
● Continuing an answer: If you need to use the space to continue an answer, indicate in the original
answer space where the answer is continued, i.e. give the page number. Fill in the number of the
question that you are continuing to answer at the top of the page.

Working time: 45 minutes.

Question 5 (5 marks)

A farmer plants trees in a corner of one of his paddocks. He plants them in rows with the first row
containing 5 trees, the second containing 7 trees, the third containing 9 trees and so on. How many
trees will he need to plant if he is to plant 15 rows? Must show reasoning.

Solution

The above shows arithmetic progression.

a=5 and d=2

n
Sn= (2 a+ ( n−1 ) d )
2

15
S15= ( 2 ( 5 ) + ( 15−1 ) 2 )=285
