Answer:
The sum of 8 terms of series is 959,780
D is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: -4, 24, -144, ......
There are 8 terms.
We need to find the sum of 8 terms.
First term, a=-4
Common ratio, r=-6
[tex]a_n=-4\cdot(-6)^{n-1}[/tex]
Sum of 8 term
[tex]Sum=a_1+a_2+a_3+a_4+a_5+a_6+a_7+a_8[/tex]
[tex]Sum=\sum_{n=1}^{8}a_n[/tex]
[tex]Sum=-4+24-144+864-5184+31104-186624+1119744[/tex]
[tex]Sum=959,780[/tex]
Hence, The sum of 8 terms of series is 959,780
