In an arithmetic progression, the sum of the first ten terms is equal to the sum of the next five terms. The first term is \(a\).
(i) Show that the common difference of the progression is \(\frac{1}{3}a\).
(ii) Given that the tenth term is 36 more than the fourth term, find the value of \(a\).
In another case, p and 2p are the first and second terms respectively of an arithmetic progression. The nth term is 336 and the sum of the first n terms is 7224. Write down two equations in n and p and hence find the values of n and p.
In an arithmetic progression the first term is a and the common difference is 3. The nth term is 94 and the sum of the first n terms is 1420. Find n and a.
The first term of a series is 6 and the second term is 2.
For the case where the series is an arithmetic progression, find the sum of the first 80 terms.
The nth term of a progression is p + qn, where p and q are constants, and Sn is the sum of the first n terms.
