  1. An arithmetic progression has first term \(\log _ { 2 } 27\) and common difference \(\log _ { 2 } x\).
    1. Show that the fourth term can be written as \(\log _ { 2 } \left( 27 x ^ { 3 } \right)\).
    2. Given that the fourth term is 6, find the exact value of \(x\).
  2. A geometric progression has first term \(\log _ { 2 } 27\) and common ratio \(\log _ { 2 } y\).
    1. Find the set of values of \(y\) for which the geometric progression has a sum to infinity.
    2. Find the exact value of \(y\) for which the sum to infinity of the geometric progression is 3 . \section*{THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS WRITTEN ON THIS PAGE.}
