The total seating capacity of an auditorium is 1,065. The first row has 21 seats arithmetic series and each row has one seat more than the row in front of it. How many rows of seats are there in the auditorium?

5 answers

In your arithmetic series:
a = 21
d = 1
n = ??
sum(n) = 1065

1065 = (n/2)(2(21) + (n-1)(1) )
2130 = n(42 + n - 1)
2130 = n^2 + 41n
n^2 + 41n - 2130 = 0
(n-30)(n + 71) = 0

n = 30 or n = -71 , but n > 0

there are 30 rows
