Answer:

8^298

Explanation:

n = 1, 8^(1 + 0 * 3)

n = 2, 8^(1 + 1 * 3)

n = 3, 8^(1 + 2 * 3)

n = 4, 8^(1 + 3 * 3)

The exponent of 8 is 1 added to product of 1 less than the term number multiplied by 3.

n = n, 8^(1 + [n - 1] * 3) = 8^(1 + 3n - 3) = 8^(3n - 2)

For n = 100, the exponent is

3n - 2 = 3(100) - 2 = 300 - 2 = 298
