HI
I just recieved some problems today that I have to complete, but once I got home I noticed that I couldn't answer the questions, I can answer a couple of the questions but for the most part I am lost.
Thank You
1. a. Given t1=1, list the next five terms for the recursion formula tn= n*tn-1
b. In the sequence, tk, is a factorial number, often written as k! Show that
Tk=k!
=k(k-1)(k-2)......(2)(1).
c. Explain what 8! means. Evaluate 8!
d. Explain why factorial numbers can be considered an iterative process.
e. Note that
(2to the power of5)(5!)
= (2*2*2*2*2)(5*4*3*2*1)
= (2*5)(2*4)(2*3)(2*2)(2*1)
=10*8*6*4*2
which is the product of the first five even positive integers. Write a formula for the product of the first n even positive integers. Explain why your formula is correct.
f. Write 10!/(2to the power of 5)(5!) as a product of consecutive odd integers.
g. Write a factorial formula for the product of
i) the first six odd positive integers
ii) the first ten odd positive integers
iii) the first n odd positive integers
