Answer:
n=7
Step-by-step explanation:
L.H.S
sum of G.P formula is A1([(r^m)-1]/[r-1])
here A1=1 m=total number of terms =n+1 r=a
sum of terms in L.H.S = 1[(a^n+1)-1]/[a-1]
now equate lhs and rhs and cross multiply
a^(n+1)-1=(a-1)(a+1)(a^2+1)(a^4+1) we know (a-b)(a+b)=a^2-b^2
Apply it here
a^(n+1)-1 = (a^2-1)(a^2+1)(a^4+1)
a^(n+1)-1=(a^4-1)(a^4+1)
a^(n+1)-1=a^8-1
Add 1 on both sides
a^(n+1) = a^8
bases are equal equate powers
n+1=8
n=7
HOPE IT IS HELPFUL
