Determine the arithmetic sequence with the t1 = 1 and common diff not equal to 0

[nineteen]

Determine the arithmetic sequence with the first term 1 and common difference not equal to 0, whose 2nd, 10th and 34th terms are the first three terms in a geometric sequence.

Determine the arithmetic sequence with the first term 1 and common difference not equal to 0, whose 2nd, 10th and 34th terms are the first three terms in a geometric sequence.

Again, please show your work, so we can see what help you need.

I would use the formula for each term to write an equation or two, then solve for the common difference. Or I might see a shortcut before I got that far.
