The five numbers a-2d,a-d,a,a+d,a-2d is 2,5,8,11,14 and 14,11,8,5,2.Given that the sum of 5 numbers in an Arithmetic Sequence is 40 and the sum of their squares is 410.An arithmetic progression or arithmetic sequence (AP) is a sequence of numbers such that the difference between consecutive terms is constant.Let the numbers be a-2d,a-d,a,a+d,a+2d.It is given that their sum is 40.So, we will add all the numbers and equate them with 40, we geta-2d+a-d+a+a+d+a+2d=405a=40a=8It is also given that sum of the squares of the number is 410.So, we will square and add all the numbers and equate them with 410, we get(a-2d)²+(a-d)²+a²+(a+d)²+(a+2d)²=410As we know that (a+b)²+(a-b)²=2(a²+b²).By using this property, we get2(a²+4d²)+2(a²+d²)+a²=410As we find above that a=8.Substitute this value, we get2(64+4d²)+2(64+d²)+64=410128+8d²+128+2d²+64=41010d²+320=41010d²=410-32010d²=90d²=9d=±3When a=8 and d=-3 the numbers are 14,11,8,5,2When a=8 and d=3 the numbers are 2,5,8,11,14Hence, the five numbers of arithmetic sequence when the sum of 5 numbers in an Arithmetic Sequence is 40 and the sum of their squares is 410 is 2,5,8,11,14 and 14,11,8,5,2.Learn more about the arithmetic sequence from here brainly.com/question/503167#SPJ9
