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!}

Kitty [74]
Subtracting a negative number is like removing debt. When you remove debt, you effectively gave someone money and the value of their bank account increased.

Another answer is that “subtraction is addition of the opposite,” so subtracting a negative number is really adding a positive number, which again causes the other number to increase.
