11 In this question you must show detailed reasoning.
The \(n\)th term of a geometric progression is denoted by \(g _ { n }\) and the \(n\)th term of an arithmetic progression is denoted by \(a _ { n }\). It is given that \(g _ { 1 } = a _ { 1 } = 1 + \sqrt { 5 } , g _ { 3 } = a _ { 2 }\) and \(g _ { 4 } + a _ { 3 } = 0\).
Given also that the geometric progression is convergent, show that its sum to infinity is \(4 + 2 \sqrt { 5 }\).
