Please do. I did it in a strange way. There's probably a better way.

Thanks but I think my answer was better.

Honestly I'm not even sure how (n + 1)! = (n + 1)n!

I guess I don't understand distribution / factoring enough which is pretty funny

Wish I had money to just have a math tutor for 2 hours every day

I get that (n + 1)! is just a factor (or common multiple?) of n!, still can't completely connect the dots, it doesn't make intuitive sense to me yet

1x2x3=6
1x2x3x4=24

What don't you understand?

I don't quite understand the factoring out of n!

Like I understand you can do it but I don't understand why you can

Say n=4. Then (n)! is 1x2x3x4. So n+1=5. Then (n+1)! is 1x2x3x4x5.
Re-write that as (n+1)! is (1x2x3x4)x5.
So (n+1)! is 5(n)!
Since 5=4+1, and n=4, (n+1)=5
So (n+1)! is equal to (n+1)(n)!

n! Is a separate term from (n+1) it’s so ez dude

can someone prove 1+1 = 2

art of problem solving gives me problems slightly harder than i originally learned the material with. its nice

that wasnt difficult or anything but it was just definitely harder than when i originally learned squares which is good

wait a minute

okay got it right

@krazykat time to get to work

Took 25 minutes to do them all.

Same except I didn't really understand the wording on the last one so I didn't do it

So not same then
