For example, (a+b)^n = sigma bla bla bla.   so what is (a+b)! Expanded?

#2 Re: Help Me ! » expand (a+b)! » 2015-02-14 11:32:12

So is this as far as maths can possibly take us? What if (a+b)^(a+b)(-(1*2*3*4...a+b))

#3 Re: Help Me ! » expand (a+b)! » 2015-02-14 11:04:09

Ok but can you still expand (a+b)!

#4 Re: Help Me ! » expand (a+b)! » 2015-02-14 10:36:12

Surely (n-(n-1))! = (n-n-1)! = (0-1)! = (-1)! With bidmas

This is kind of basic compared to most of the stuff on the forum, but I was trying to find a definitive answer of n choose n-1.    so n!/(n!(n-n-1)!) = n!/n!(-1)!   and negatives don't have factorials. So I tried to expand (n-n-1)! To no avail. Does anyone have an answer? I tried (a+b)!(a+b-1)!(a+b-2)!.... (a+b-a+b)! But no idea how to do that.... Please help me!!
