Question

c. If a second town would like to implement the combination of the two methods shown
above such that poles are switched between arithmetic and geometric progressions. The
first pole will be installed at 150 m and the pole number 25 will be installed at 1350 m.
Then poles will be installed based on a geometric model such that it will cover 3.5 km
representing the remaining distance. The ratio between two poles is 1.026. Determine
the location for pole number 10 of the new geometric progression model and the
approximate total number of poles that are needed for this town. Comment on these
results.
Calculations and data should be clearly explained and presented so that they are
understandable to a non-technical audience.

Task 2
A small town would like to install 9 renewable lighting poles covering a distance of 2900 m. The
first pole will be at 170 m.
a. Determine the values of each pole location correct to the nearest whole number using
arithmetic progression.
b. Determine the values of each pole location correct to the nearest whole number using
geometric progression.
