In a Geometric Sequence, each term is found by multiplying the previous term by a constant. For this case, the constant is 4. To find the sum of the geometric sequence with 8 terms, we use the formula as follows:
∑(ar^k) = a ( 1-r^n) / (1-r)
where a is the first term, r is the constant, n is the number of terms
∑(ar^k) = 4 ( 1-4^8) / (1-4)
∑(ar^k) = 87380
∑(ar^k) = a ( 1-r^n) / (1-r)
where a is the first term, r is the constant, n is the number of terms
∑(ar^k) = 4 ( 1-4^8) / (1-4)
∑(ar^k) = 87380

65,535
Step-by-step explanation:
4 times 4 times 4 times...... count the times you do it till 8. if that's confusing think of this as 4 to the 8th power.
