To determine the next term in the given sequence, we need to identify the pattern in the sequence:
5, 20, 80, 320, . . .
Looking at the progression from one term to the next:
- \(5 \times 4 = 20\)
- \(20 \times 4 = 80\)
- \(80 \times 4 = 320\)
It appears that each term is 4 times the previous term.
So, the next term after 320 would be:
\[320 \times 4 = 1280\]
Thus, the next term in the sequence is:
1280
Therefore, the correct choice is:
1280
1.

5, 20, 80, 320, . . .
380
1280
