Question -

Convert the following products into factorials:
(i) 5 ⋅ 6 ⋅ 7 ⋅ 8 ⋅ 9 ⋅ 10
(ii) 3 ⋅ 6 ⋅ 9 ⋅ 12 ⋅ 15 ⋅ 18
(iii) (n + 1) (n + 2) (n + 3) …(2n)
(iv) 1 ⋅ 3 ⋅ 5 ⋅ 7 ⋅ 9 … (2n – 1)



Answer -

(i)  6  7  8  9  10

Let us evaluate

We can write it as:

 6  7  8  9  10 = (1×2×3×4×5×6×7×8×9×10)/(1×2×3×4)

= 10!/4!

(ii)  6  9  12  15  18

Let us evaluate

 6  9  12  15  18 = (3×1) × (3×2) × (3×3) × (3×4) ×(3×5) × (3×6)

= 36 (1×2×3×4×5×6)

= 36 (6!)

(iii) (n + 1) (n + 2) (n +3) … (2n)

Let us evaluate

(n + 1) (n + 2) (n +3) … (2n) = [(1) (2) (3) .. (n) … (n + 1) (n + 2) (n + 3) … (2n)] / (1) (2) (3).. (n)

= (2n)!/n!

(iv)  3  5  7  9 … (2n – 1)

Let us evaluate

 3  5  7  9 … (2n – 1) = [(1) (3) (5) … (2n-1)][(2) (4) (6) … (2n)] / [(2) (4) (6) … (2n)]

= [(1) (2) (3) (4) …(2n-1) (2n)] / 2n [(1) (2) (3) … (n)]

= (2n)! / 2n n!
