Problem

Consider an AP with first term 22 and common difference 55, and a GP with first term 22 and positive common ratio rr. a. (i) If the sums of the first 44 terms of the two progressions are equal, find the value of rr. b. (ii) For the value of rr obtained in part (i), determine which of the two sums is larger when n≥5n\ge 5. Give a clear justification.
