canadian honey is recognized around the world for its superior taste and quality. In saskatchewan in 1986, there were 1657 beekeepers operating in 105, 000 colonies. each colony produced 70kg of honey. In 2007, the number of beekeepers was reduced to 1048. Assume the number of decline in number of beekeepers generates an arithmetic sequence. Determine the change in the number of beekeepers each year form 1986 to 2007.
i also need help with this one too:
The Diavik Diamond Mine is located on East Island in Lac de Gras East, Northwest Territories. The diamonds that are extracted from the mine were brought to surface when the kimberlite rock erupted 55 million years ago. in 2003, the first production year of the mine, 3.8 million carats were produced. Suppose the life expectancy of the mine is 20 years, and the number of diamond carats expected to be extracted from the mine in the 20th year is 113.2 million carats. If the extraction of diamonds produces an arithmetic sequence, determine the common difference. What does this value represent?

1. The yearly decline is 29 beekeepers, so in 1987, there was 1628, then in 1988, 1599, etc.
