Math Problem Statement

(n+2)!/(n+1)(n+2)

Solution

We can simplify the given expression:

(n+2)!(n+1)(n+2)\frac{(n+2)!}{(n+1)(n+2)}

Step-by-step solution:

  1. Expand the factorial (n+2)!(n+2)!: (n+2)!=(n+2)(n+1)n!(n+2)! = (n+2)(n+1)n!

    So, we have: (n+2)(n+1)n!(n+1)(n+2)\frac{(n+2)(n+1)n!}{(n+1)(n+2)}

  2. Cancel out common terms: The terms (n+2)(n+2) and (n+1)(n+1) appear in both the numerator and the denominator, so they cancel out: (n+2)(n+1)n!(n+1)(n+2)=n!\frac{(n+2)(n+1)n!}{(n+1)(n+2)} = n!

Final simplified result:

n!n!
