Prelims
  1. A geometric series has common ratio \(r\), and an arithmetic series has first term \(a\) and common difference \(d\), where \(a\) and \(d\) are non-zero. The first three terms of the geometric series are equal to the seventh, fourth and second terms respectively of the arithmetic series.
    1. Find \(d\) in terms of \(a\).
    2. Deduce that the geometric series is convergent and find, in terms of \(a\), the sum to infinity.
