Answer:


8 , 20, 50, 125, 625/2           option D

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

first term a₁ = 8

common ratio (r) = \frac{5}{2}

We need to find the five  terms of the geometric progression

We know that the nth term formula :

aₙ = a₁rⁿ-¹

where a₁ is first term and r is the common ratio

n is the number of terms

Second term (n=2)

a₂ = 8*(\frac{5}{2} )^{2-1} = \frac{8*5}{2} = 20

Third term (n = 3)

a₃ = 8*(\frac{5}{2} )^{3-1} = 8*(\frac{5}{2} )^{2}  = (\frac{8*25}{4} ) = 50

Forth term (n=4)

a₄ = 8(\frac{5}{2} )^{4-1} = 8*(\frac{5}{2} )^{3}  = (\frac{8*125}{8} ) = 125

Fifth term (n=5)

a₅ = 8(\frac{5}{2} )^{5-1} = 8*(\frac{5}{2} )^{4}  = (\frac{8*625}{16} ) = \frac{625}{2}

So, five terms are :

8 , 20, 50, 125, 625/2

x = 1

Answer:

m\angle XVW = 100\degree

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first figure, FP is the bisector of \angle DFE

\therefore m\angle 1 = m\angle 2\\\therefore 44x + 1 = 46x - 1\\\therefore 1 + 1 = 46x - 44x\\\therefore 2 = 2x\\\therefore \frac{2}{2} = x \\\huge \red {\boxed {\therefore x = 1}}

In the second figure, VP is the bisector of \angle XVW

\therefore m\angle 1 = m\angle 2\\\therefore 12x + 2 = 11x +6\\\therefore 12x - 11x = 6 - 2\\\therefore x  = 4\\\because m\angle XVW = m\angle1 + m\angle 2\\\therefore m\angle XVW = 12x + 2 + 11x +6\\\therefore m\angle XVW = 23x + 8\\\therefore m\angle XVW = 23\times 4+ 8\\\therefore m\angle XVW = 92+ 8\\\huge \purple {\boxed {\therefore m\angle XVW = 100\degree}} \\
