If each term of a geometric progression $$a_1, a_2, a_3, \ldots$$ with $$a_1=\frac{1}{8}$$ and $$a_2 \neq a_1$$, is the arithmetic mean of the next two terms and $$S_n=a_1+a_2+\ldots . .+a_n$$, then $$S_{20}-S_{18}$$ is equal to

Let $$\mathrm{r}$$ and $$\theta$$ respectively be the modulus and amplitude of the complex number $$z=2-i\left(2 \tan \frac{5 \pi}{8}\right)$$, then $$(\mathrm{r}, \theta)$$ is equal to

The sum of the solutions $$x \in \mathbb{R}$$ of the equation $$\frac{3 \cos 2 x+\cos ^3 2 x}{\cos ^6 x-\sin ^6 x}=x^3-x^2+6$$ is

Let $$x=\frac{m}{n}$$ ($$m, n$$ are co-prime natural numbers) be a solution of the equation $$\cos \left(2 \sin ^{-1} x\right)=\frac{1}{9}$$ and let $$\alpha, \beta(\alpha >\beta)$$ be the roots of the equation $$m x^2-n x-m+ n=0$$. Then the point $$(\alpha, \beta)$$ lies on the line
