Let n=1. Then the statement says

1(1!)=1
(1+1)!-1=2!-1=2-1=1

so it holds for the base case.

Assume it holds for n=k, i.e. that

1(1!)+2(2!)+3(3!)+\cdots+k(k!)=(k+1)!-1

and use this to show it holds for n=k+1. You have

1(1!)+2(2!)+\cdots+k(k!)+(k+1)(k+1)!=(k+1)!-1+(k+1)(k+1)!
=(k+1)!(1+k+1)-1
=(k+1)!(k+2)-1
=(k+2)!-1

which is what you needed to show, so the statement is true.

The expression n2 + n represents the total number of blocks used in the nth figure of a pattern. Use the equation n2 + n = 56 to
Brrunno [24]

We have to solve this quadratic equation n^{2}+n=56 for n to get <em>which figure has 56 blocks</em>.

n^{2}+n=56\\n^{2}+n-56=0

For middle term factorization, we need <em>two numbers that multiplied gives us -56 and added gives us 1 (coefficient of n).</em>

<em>Such two numbers are </em><em>8</em><em> and </em><em>-7</em><em>. We can now write,</em>

<em>n^{2}+n-56=0\\(n+8)(n-7)=0\\n=-8, 7</em>

<u><em>"There is no negative figure number possible, so we disregard -8"</em></u>

Our answer is 7.


ANSWER: The 7th figure has 56 blocks.
