Multiple Choice

Rewrite the series using summation notation. Use 1 as the lower limit of summation.
- $$2 ^ { 2 } + 4 ^ { 3 } + 6 ^ { 4 } + \ldots + 16 ^ { 9 }$$

A) $\sum _ { i = 1 } ^ { 8 } ( 2 \mathrm { i } ) ^ { \mathrm { i } + 1 }$
B) $\sum _ { i = 1 } ^ { 8 } 2 ( i - 1 ) ^ { i + 1}$
C) $\sum _ { i = 1 } ^ { 8 } ( 2 i ) ^ { i }$
D) $\sum _ { i = 1 } ^ { 8 } 2 i ^ { 2 i - 1 }$
