2+2+(2^2)+(2^3)+(2^4)+(2^5)+(2^6)+(2^7)+(2^8) after the first two terms i.e (2^2)+(2^3)+(2^4)+(2^5)+(2^6)+(2^7)+(2^8) is a GP series with first term as 2^2 and ratio as 2. Using the formula for sum of GP series, for this part, the original equation becomes 2^2 + 2^2(1-2^7)/(1-2) = 2^2 + 2^2(127) = 2...
