What is the sum of the first eight terms of the series?

(−800)+(−200)+(−50)+(−12.5)+

round the answer to two decimal places.

Observe that as the series progresses, the term decreases by 1/4. To show this, observe the first four terms of the series below.

-200 = (1/4)(-800)
-50 = (1/4)(-200)
-12.5 = (1/4)(-50)

Since we have a common ratio, r, of 1/4, we can use the properties of a geometric series to find the 8th term of the series.

Recall that to find the sum of the nth term of a geometric series, we have



where a is the first term of the series and r is the ratio.

So, for the first eight terms, we have




Therefore, the sum of the 8th series is approximately -1066.65. 

-1066.65

Answer: v= lwhstep by step explanation: length x width x heightl = 12kmw = 6kmh = 6km12 x 6 = 7272 x 6 = 432therefore your answer would be c) 432 km^3

Ibelieve the answer is b. y=0 would make the line horizontal across the x.
