Follow the pattern
Answer the questions now -
There are two formulae you can use to calculate the number of apple trees and the number of conifer
trees for the pattern described on the previous page:
Number of apple trees = n2
Number of conifer trees = 8n
where n is the number of rows of apple trees.
There is a value of n for which the number of apple trees equals the number of conifer trees. Find the
value of n and show your method of calculating this.
Dear Student,
Please find below the solution to the asked query:
From given pattern we know :
Number of apple tree = n2
And
Number of conifer trees = 8 n
As given condition : There is a value of ' n ' for which the number of apple trees equals the number of conifer trees. So
n2 = 8 n ,
n2 - 8 n = 0 ,
n ( n - 8 ) = 0
So,
n = 0 and n = 8
Therefore,
Required value of ' n ' = 8 ( Ans )
