Tutorial Exercise 2 Progression

This document contains 4 questions regarding progressions: 1) Find the first term and sum of the first 10 terms of an arithmetic progression given the 5th term is 10 and the sum of the first 10 terms is 115. 2) If a pump extracts 56cm3 initially from a bottle, with subsequent extractions following a geometric progression where the 3rd extraction is 31.5cm3, calculate the 2nd term, common ratio, and total extractable volume. 3) For a geometric progression where the first term exceeds the second by 10 and the sum of the 2nd and 3rd terms is 15, with a positive common ratio, find the ratio, first term, and sum to infinity
