An arithmetic progression is a sequence of numbers in which the distance (or difference) between any two successive numbers if the same. For example, in the sequence 1, 3, 5, 7, ..., the distance is 2 while in the sequence 6, 12, 18, 24, ..., the distance is 6. Given the positive integer distance and the positive integer n, associate the variable sum with the sum of the elements of the arithmetic progression from 1 to n with distance distance. For example, if distance is 2 and n is 10, then sum would be associated with 25 because 1 3 5 7 9

1. you have a small business that is divided into 3 departments: accounting, sales, and administration. these departments have the following number of devices (computers, printers, etc.): accounting-31, sales-28, and administration-13. using a class c private network, subnet the network so that each department will have their own subnet. you must show/explain how you arrived at your conclusion and also show the following: all available device addresses for each department, the broadcast address for each department, and the network address for each department. also, determine how many "wasted" (not usable) addresses resulted from your subnetting (enumerate them).
