Step-by-step explanation
A geometric serie has a common ratio, the formula for the nth term is
so
Step 1
find the geometric serie
a) find the common ratio
let
so
a=120
and
so, the sequence is
let's check
Step 2
now, let's find the sum:
the sum of geometric serie is give by
let n= 8,
replace
therefore, the answer is
