The first, second and fifth terms of this progression are three consecutive terms of a geometric progression. Find the first term and the non -zero common difference of the arithmetic progression.

Given that d3 d2 y x  and 2 2 d9 d4 y x  at the point where the curve cut s the positive x-axis, find the values of A, B and C.
