OpenStudy (sweetburger):

does the ! mean factorial?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do u have choices?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think its 8n-5 but that might be wrong..and what do u mean by its factorial..that may help me a little more

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(4n+4)!=(4n+4)(4n+3)(4n+2)(4n+1)(4n)(4n-1)(4n-2)(4n-3)(4n-4)!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh its 16n^2+4n..does that sound like the right answer..U should give me a medal sinne I helped u too;)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks dude..anymore questions??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no thats not it. i put it in as the answer and it said it was wrong.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay well then try 8n-5 and if that not right tell me and i will try to solve it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah thats not it either

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay umm..how about (4n)x(4n+1) I havent done this before so i am trying the best i can

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cancel!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no worries. thanks for the help. ill figure it out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@satellite73 cancel!?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hahah sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{(4n+4)(4n+3)(4n+2)(4n+1)(4n)(4n-1)!}{(4n-1)!}\] s a start

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oooohhh ok. so its just (4n+4)(4n+3)(4n+2)(4n+1)(4n)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when you cancel, you are left with the remaining 5 terms in the numerator yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is confusing when you first see it, but as you can see factorials often cancel like mad

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{(n+1)!}{n!}=n+1\] for example

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks so much @satellite73

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah this is way over my head..is this calculus or something??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its covered in both algebra 2 and pre-calc. im in pre-calc
