    a8 = - 128x^8 - 384x^7

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The formula for the general term of a geometric sequence with first term a1 and common ratio r is ...

    an = a1·r^ (n-1)

    Here, we have a1 = (x+3) and r = (-2x^2-6x) / (x+3) = - 2x. Then the 8th term is ...

    a8 = (x+3) (-2x) ^ (8-1)

    a8 = - 128x^8 - 384x^7
