Answer:

A. -510

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the variable values:

  • a = -2
  • r = 2
  • n = 8

Geometric series formula:

[tex]s = \frac{a( {r}^{n} \times - 1) }{r - 1} [/tex]

Plugging in values we have:

[tex]s = \frac{ - 2( {2}^{8} - 1) }{2 - 1} [/tex]

Simplifying the equation we are left with:

[tex] \frac{ - 2(255)}{1} = - 510[/tex]
