Answer:


  • C) \ -2(2/3)^8

--------------------------

The nth term is visible in the sum:


  • t_n=3(-2/3)^(n-1)

Apply n = 10 to find the 10th term:


  • t_(10)=3(-2/3)^(10-1)

  • t_(10)=3(-2/3)^9

  • t_(10)=3(-2/3)^(8+1)

  • t_(10)=3(-2/3)^8*(-2/3)

  • t_(10)=-2(-2/3)^8

  • t_(10)=-2(2/3)^8,\ since\ the\ power\ is\ even\ number

The matching choice is C.
