**Exercise: Converting Sigma Notation to Expanded Form**

**Instruction:**
Express the sum without using sigma notation. Simplify your answer where possible.

**Problem:**
\[
\sum_{n=8}^{10} x^n
\]

**Solution:**
To express the sum without using sigma notation, expand the series as follows:

\[ x^8 + x^9 + x^{10} \]

Each term represents a power of \( x \) starting from \( x^8 \) up to \( x^{10} \). Simplify the expression if possible.
