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!}

Identify the prime numbers in the following list 5 7 12 11
Elis [28]

Answer:

<h2>5, 7, 11</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

A prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that cannot be formed by multiplying two smaller natural numbers.

A prime number has only two divisors: 1 and itself.

Therefore, the prime numbers are:

5, 7 and 11.

12 is not a prime because 12 = 2 × 6 = 3 × 4.

12 has six divisors: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12.

The width of a large, rectangular-shaped tree farm is 1.9 kilometers. The length of the farm is 4.4 kilometers. What are the bes
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

9 square kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's round the width to 2.0 kilometers, and round the length to 4.5 kilometers.

We know that area is length times width, so

A = lw

A = 2.0*4.5

<u>A = 9.0 square kilometers</u>

If we do this on the calculator, it's around 9.36 square kilometers, so our estimate was good.
