Evaluate each factorial expression. (n+2)!/n!
Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Recall the definition of factorial: for any positive integer \(k\), \(k! = k \times (k-1) \times (k-2) \times \cdots \times 1\).
Write out the factorial expressions explicitly: \((n+2)! = (n+2) \times (n+1) \times n!\).
Substitute this expression into the given fraction: \(\frac{(n+2)!}{n!} = \frac{(n+2) \times (n+1) \times n!}{n!}\).
Cancel the common \(n!\) terms in the numerator and denominator, leaving \(\frac{(n+2) \times (n+1) \times \cancel{n!}}{\cancel{n!}} = (n+2)(n+1)\).
Express the final simplified form as the product of two binomials: \((n+2)(n+1)\), which can be expanded if needed.

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.
Factorial Notation
Factorial notation, denoted by n!, represents the product of all positive integers from 1 up to n. For example, 5! = 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 120. It is commonly used in permutations, combinations, and algebraic expressions involving sequences.

Simplifying Factorial Expressions
When simplifying expressions involving factorials, such as (n+2)!/n!, it helps to expand the factorial terms to cancel common factors. For instance, (n+2)! = (n+2)(n+1)n!, so dividing by n! leaves (n+2)(n+1). This technique reduces complex factorial expressions to simpler polynomial forms.
