6 The first three terms of an arithmetic progression are \(\frac { p ^ { 2 } } { 6 } , 2 p - 6\) and \(p\).
  1. Given that the common difference of the progression is not zero, find the value of \(p\).
  2. Using this value, find the sum to infinity of the geometric progression with first two terms \(\frac { p ^ { 2 } } { 6 }\) and \(2 p - 6\).
