Answer:
The eighth term is 8748
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the sequence is a geometric sequence
For an nth term in a geometric sequence
[tex]A (n) = a ({r})^{n - 1} [/tex]
where
a is the first term
r is the common ratio
n is the number of terms
To find the eighth term we must first find the first term
4th term = 108
common ratio = 3
That's
[tex]A(4) = a ({r})^{4 - 1} [/tex]
[tex]108 = a ({3})^{3} [/tex]
[tex]27a = 108[/tex]
Divide both sides by 27
a = 4
The first term is 4
For the eighth term
[tex]A(8) = 4 ({3})^{8 - 1} [/tex]
[tex]A(8) = 4({3})^{7} [/tex]
The final answer is
A(8) = 8748
The eighth term is 8748
Hope this helps you
