(a) If the sequence = p , 5p-8 and 3p+8 is an arithmetic sequence then the difference between successive terms must be constant.e.g. (5p-8)-(p) = (3p+8)-(5p-8)=> 4p-8 = -2p+16 => 6p = 24 => p=24/6 =...

An arithmetic progression has a tenth term (a10) = 11.1 and a fiftieth term (a50) = 7.1 Find the first term (a) and the common difference (d). Also find the sum of the first fifty terms (Sn50) of the progression.

We start off by constructing simultaneous equations as there are two variables - a and d - that we do not know. We use the formula:a n = a + (n-1)di) 11.1 = a + 9dii) 7.1 = a + 49d i) - ii) gives you 4 = - 4...
