Just a quick question. I'm having problems with factorials. For example, how do you simplify 2n+2!? Is it 2n!*2n+1!?
Thanks everybody!
Thanks everybody!
Actually, it's (2n+2)*(2n+1)*(2n)!, but I'm sure you knew that.Mark44 said:You probably meant (2n + 2)!, which is (2n + 1)*(2n)!.
To simplify 2n+2, you can distribute the 2 to both terms inside the parentheses, resulting in 2n+4. This is the simplest form of the expression.
No, the terms 2n and 2 cannot be combined because they have different variables (n and no variable, respectively).
The purpose of simplifying an expression is to make it easier to understand and work with. It also allows for easier comparison and computation with other expressions.
An expression is considered simplified when it is in its most basic form and cannot be further reduced or simplified.
Yes, there are a few rules to follow when simplifying an expression, such as combining like terms, using the distributive property, and following the order of operations.
