Answer:

87380

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum to n terms of a geometric sequence is

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

where a is the first term and r the common ratio

r = [tex]\frac{16}{4}[/tex] = 4 and a = 4, hence

[tex]S_{8}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{4(4^8-1)}{4-1}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{4(65535)}{4}[/tex] = 87380
