How do you simplify #(n!)/((n-2)!)#? - Socratic
Nov 18, 2015 · We can write it as: n ⋅ (n −1)(n − 2)(n − 3)! (n − 2)(n −3)! =. where you used the fact that n! = n(n − 1)! and so: n ⋅ (n −1)(n − 2) (n − 3)! (n − 2) (n − 3)! = n(n − 1) Check it with n = 4. n! (n − 2)! = 4! 2! = 12. n(n −1) = 4 ⋅ 3 = 12. Answer link.
summation - The idea behind the sum of powers of 2
Oct 29, 2016 · There's a lot of visualisations of this out there. Write the numbers in base 2: The powers of 2 starting from 1 = 20 will be in binary, 1 + 10 + 100 + 1000 will always be a number that will be a n with all binary digits 1. This is the largest number having that many digits. SO it is of the form 2n + 1 − 1.
Comparing $2^n$ to $n!$ - Mathematics Stack Exchange
log(n!) = log(1) + log(2) + log(3) +... + log(n) You can approximate the sum by integrating the log function from 1 to n. Recall that the anti-derivative of the natural log is xlnx − x + C. From this, you get log (n!) = O (n log n). Which is larger than log(2n) = O(n).
Prove by induction that $n!>2^n$ - Mathematics Stack Exchange
Hint: prove inductively that a product is > 1 if each factor is > 1. Apply that to the product n! 2n = 4! 245 26 27 2 ⋯ n 2. This is a prototypical example of a proof employing multiplicative telescopy. Notice how much simpler the proof becomes after transforming into a form where the induction is obvious, namely: a product is > 1 if all ...

Formula for $1^2+2^2+3^2+...+n^2$ - Mathematics Stack …
1. It comes from that fact that the difference operator Δf(n) = f(n + 1) − f(n) acting on polynomials f(x) of degree d will result in polynomials in degree d − 1 (check this!) - the difference between f(n) = 12 + 22 + ⋯ + n2 and f(n + 1) = 12 + ⋯ + (n + 1)2 is simply (n + 1)2, which is a quadratic in n, hence we should expect f to be ...
