thanks for your help but i got it it's (-1)^(n+1) * (2n-3)! it doesn't work for 0, but for my purposes, that does not matter to me. BUt the idea for the double factorial saved my life. Thanks i love you

hmmmm but look at the sequence. When n = 7, the value is 9! when n = 6, the value is 7! when n = 5, the value is 5!

hmm, trhat was a good idea, but how do i make it work to fit the sequenece? ive been trying and i CANNOT get the numbers to fit into the double factorial.

Homework Statement 1,1,-1,3,-15,105,-945 ... find an expression for the nth term The Attempt at a Solution I HAVE TO FIND THE PATTERN Now, i know for a fact that there has to be a factorial in there somewhere, because n starts at 0, and as you can see every term is alternating...

Homework Statement find an interval I such that the tangent line error bound is always less than or equal to 0.01 on I f(x) = ln(x) b = 1 The Attempt at a Solution so basically, i found the tangent line approximation at b = 1, which is t(x) = x -1. From there though, i have no idea...

could you give us a few examples of these "bigger and better things"?

i think he's a little too young, but i could be wrong. The amount of calculus/trigonometry involved in most of Newtonian mechanics is not too rigorous in itself, but the amount of mathematical maturity and intellect involved is something that needs to be built upon, and it cannot be built up...

how about doing this in something like c++ or visual basic? Cause i can get an educational copy of visual studio.net for 10 dollars at my high school.

IM looking for a way to write programs, or maybe "script" is abetter word, to perform certain "chores" on my computer. Let me give you a few examples. My desktop is constantly cluttered with random ****. Video files, text files, music files, html documents, etc ... I want to write a...

would my body absorb a larger percent of the vitamins in a vitamin supplement if i drank more water?

So the theorem states if a sequence is monotonic and bounded, it converges. WEll, it's easy enough to prove is a sequence is monotonic, but how would one go about proving that a sequence is bounded?

I think having them along with me would be excellent supplements. how can i obtain my own personal copy if they are not readily available on ebay or amazon? specifically, i am looking for an instructor's solutions manual to "chemistry" by martin silberberg.

what about studying thermodynamics from a chemistry perspective? that might help you get a more conceptual understanding.

I live in seattle, and right now i am heavily considering chemical engineering. I would really love to stay in the seattle area, but I am not sure if i will be able to, as it seems like most of the good chemical engineering jobs are out east. Does anyone know of any chemical engineering...

I would just like to be around an inch taller. Im 19 now. Is it possible to get an inch up there within the next few years?
