Answer:

39364

Step-by-step explanation:

You can simplify the equation to make 4(1+3+9...) The nth term is therefore $3^{n-1}$ so u can substitute that into the equation so 4( $3^{n-1}+ 3^{n} + 3^{n+1}$ ..). This would simplify to 4( $3^0 +3+3^2$ + $3^3+3^4+3^5+3^6+3^7+3^8$ ). By simplifying this, you can make it so 4( $2^2+6^2+18^2+42^2+81^2$ ) = 4(4+36+324+2916+6561) =39364
