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.

answer: there are x+184 pages in olivia's book.

step-by-step explanation:

let the total number of pages in the book which olive has already read be x.

then if olive has 184 pages left to read, then the total number of pages are in olive's book= pages she has read+pages she has left to read

therefore, the total number of pages in olivia's book=

hence, there are x+184 pages in olivia's book.
