Assuming you're solving for d(n), we have by substitution

d(n) = n d(n-1) \implies d(n-1) = (n-1) d(n-2) \\\\ ~~~~ \implies d(n) = n(n-1)d(n-2)

d(n) = n d(n-1) \implies d(n-2) = (n-2) d(n-3) \\\\ ~~~~ \implies d(n) = n(n-1)(n-2)d(n-3)

d(n) = n d(n-1) \implies d(n-3) = (n-3) d(n-4) \\\\ ~~~~ \implies d(n) = n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3) d(n-4)

and so on. After k iterations of this, we have the pattern

d(n) = n(n-1)(n-2)\cdots(n-(k-3))(n-(k-2))(n-(k-1)) d(n-k)

so that after k=n-1 iterations,

d(n) = n(n-1)(n-2)\cdots(n-(n-3))(n-(n-2)) d(n-(n-1)) \\\\ ~~~~= n(n-1)(n-2)\cdots3\cdot2\,d(1) \\\\ ~~~~ = \boxed{n!}

Your dog is 8 years younger than your friend. In 2 years, your friend will be three times as old as your dog. How old is your do
ra1l [238]

Answer:

Dog is 2 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let dog's age = d

Let friend's age = f

Your dog is 8 years younger than your friend:

d +8 = f

In 2 years, your friend will be three times as old as your dog:

3(d+2) = (f+2)

3d+6 = f+2

3d = f - 4

(sub in f=d+8 from above)

3d = f - 4

3d = d+8 - 4

2d = 4

d = 2
