We are given the sequence $( u _ { n } )$ defined by: $u _ { 0 } = 0$ and for every natural integer $n$, $u _ { n + 1 } = \frac { 1 } { 2 } u _ { n } + 1$. The sequence $\left( v _ { n } \right)$, defined for every natural integer $n$ by $v _ { n } = u _ { n } - 2$, is: a. arithmetic with common difference $- 2$; b. geometric with common ratio $- 2$; c. arithmetic with common difference $1$; d. geometric with common ratio $\frac { 1 } { 2 }$.

Suppose $a_0, a_1, a_2, a_3, \ldots$ is an arithmetic progression with $a_0$ and $a_1$ positive integers. Let $g_0, g_1, g_2, g_3, \ldots$ be the geometric progression such that $g_0 = a_0$ and $g_1 = a_1$.
Statements
(1) We must have $\left(a_5\right)^2 \geq a_0 a_{10}$.
(2) The sum $a_0 + a_1 + \cdots + a_{10}$ must be a multiple of the integer $a_5$.
(3) If $\sum_{i=0}^{\infty} a_i$ is $+\infty$ then $\sum_{i=0}^{\infty} g_i$ is also $+\infty$.
(4) If $\sum_{i=0}^{\infty} g_i$ is finite then $\sum_{i=0}^{\infty} a_i$ is $-\infty$.
