Use the formula to evaluate the series 3-9+27-81+...-a8

Mathematics

In the given series, we see that the first term is 3 and the common ratio between the succeeding terms is -3. To solve for the sum of the first 8 terms, we use the equation,

                                    Sum = (a1)(1 – r^n) / (1 – r)

Substituting the known terms,

                                    Sum = (3)(1 – (-3)^8)/(1 - -3) = -4920

<span>Thus, the answer is -4920.</span>

Sauron [17]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence is arithmetic with n th term

a_n} = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = 1 and d = 3, thus

a_{n} = 1 + 3(n - 1) = 1 + 3n - 3 = 3n - 2 → C
