Select the best answer for the question. 2. Find the sum of the first 8 terms of a geometric series in which a1 = 3 and r= 2.

Work Shown:

a = 3 is the first term

r = 2 is the common ratio

Sn = a*(1-r^n)/(1-r) ... sum of the first n terms

S8 = 3*(1-2^8)/(1-2) ... sum of the first 8 terms

S8 = 3*(-255)/(-1)

S8 = 765

We can generate the first 8 terms to get 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, 96, 192, 384. Each new term is found by multiplying the previous one by 2.

Then add them up to get 3+6+12+24+48+96+192+384 = 765. We get the same result.

$53.50

step-by-step explanation:

you have to subtract the amount of money chuck earned ($72.50) by the cost of the gas for the mower ($11.25) and the new string for the trimmer he bought ($7.75).

72.50-11.25=61.25

and then subtract $61.25 by the second thing he bought (the new string for the trimmer)

61.25-7.75=53.5

so in total it's $53.50 (53 dollars and 50 cents)
