5. In a football stadium, the first row of seats has 610 seats. The second row has 620 seats, the third has 630
seats, and so on. The stadium sells seats from the middle of a row outwards. Each row must be completely
sold before they sell tickets for the next row.
a) Find the number of seats that can be sold if only the front two rows are used.

b) Find the number of seats that can be sold if only the front row three rows are used.

c) Create a formula for the total number of seats that can be sold of the front n rows are used.

d) Hence find the number of seats that can be sold if the front 30 rows are used.

e) Find the number of rows needed for the first 10 000 tickets.
