How would I go about simplifying something like:
(n+3)!/(n+1)! ?
(n+3)!/(n+1)! ?
The expression (n+3)!/(n+1)! simplifies to (n+3)(n+2) using the property of factorials. By applying the formula n!/(n-k)! = n(n-1)(n-2)...(n-k+1), the terms (n+1)! cancel out, resulting in (n+3)(n+2). This further expands to n^2 + 5n + 6, confirming the simplification is accurate and efficient.
