End in Mind Miranda arranges some rows of dominoes so that
after she knocks over the first one, each domino knocks over two more dominoes when it falls. If there are ten rows, how many dominoes does Miranda use?
Vocabulary and Formulas Series- The result when the terms of a sequence are added
together The sum of the first n terms is denoted Sn and is called the partial

Oh No! We don’t know n!!!
Let’s Find n!
Now we know n is 25, so we can go back and finish solving!
Plug in what we know and simplify
Answer: The partial sum is 2400 We found n! It’s 25!
Oh No! We don’t know n!!!
Example 4:Find the Partial sum of the Geometric Series
