The picture shows first three patterns formed by dots. The numbers of dots in patterns correspond to terms of an arithmetic sequence. To which term corresponds a pattern that will use \(28\) dots?
In the picture there are the first four terms of the sequence of patterns that consist of black and white squares. Identify the true statement about the number of squares in these patterns, if you know that exactly one of the given statements is true.
The numbers of white squares in patterns determine an arithmetic sequence with the common difference \(4\).

Suppose three numbers form three consecutive terms of an arithmetic sequence. The sum of these numbers is \(36\) and the product is \(-972\). Find the biggest of these three numbers.
Insert \(3\) numbers between the roots of the equation \( 5x^2 -26x+5=0\) such that the resulting sequence is a part (\(5\) terms) of an increasing arithmetic sequence with the common difference \(d\). Choose the incorrect statement about the common difference \(d\).
