Question 1087945
.
<pre>
Between 4th and 10th terms, there is a room  for 6  (= 10-4)  "d"  (=common differences). 

So  6d = 29 - 11 = 18,  which implies d = {{{18/6}}} = 3.


Thus you found the common difference d:  it is d = 3.


Then {{{a[1]}}} = {{{a[4]}}} - {{{3d}}} = 11 - 3*3 = 2.


<U>Answer</U>. The first term is 2. The common difference is 3.
