TopicArithmetic Sequences and Series

5 The first, third and fifth terms of an arithmetic progression are \(2 \cos x , - 6 \sqrt { 3 } \sin x\) and \(10 \cos x\) respectively, where \(\frac { 1 } { 2 } \pi < x < \pi\).
  1. Find the exact value of \(x\).
  2. Hence find the exact sum of the first 25 terms of the progression.
