The correct Answer is:
Let's solve the given problems step by step. ### Part (i): Compute `2! + 3!`. Is `2! + 3! = 5!`? 1. **Calculate `2!`:** \[ 2! = 2 \times 1 = 2 \] 2. **Calculate `3!`:** \[ 3! = 3 \times 2 \times 1 = 6 \] 3. **Add `2!` and `3!`:** \[ 2! + 3! = 2 + 6 = 8 \] 4. **Calculate `5!`:** \[ 5! = 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1 = 120 \] 5. **Compare `2! + 3!` with `5!`:** \[ 8 \neq 120 \] **Conclusion for Part (i):** \[ 2! + 3! \text{ is not equal to } 5! \] ### Part (ii): Compute `(8!)/(4!)`. Is `(8!)/(4!) = 2!`? 1. **Calculate `8!`:** \[ 8! = 8 \times 7 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1 \] 2. **Calculate `4!`:** \[ 4! = 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1 = 24 \] 3. **Write `(8!)/(4!)` as:** \[ \frac{8!}{4!} = \frac{8 \times 7 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4!}{4!} \] 4. **Cancel `4!` in the numerator and denominator:** \[ \frac{8!}{4!} = 8 \times 7 \times 6 \times 5 \] 5. **Calculate `8 \times 7 \times 6 \times 5`:** - First, calculate \(8 \times 7 = 56\) - Next, calculate \(56 \times 6 = 336\) - Finally, calculate \(336 \times 5 = 1680\) 6. **Calculate `2!`:** \[ 2! = 2 \times 1 = 2 \] 7. **Compare `(8!)/(4!)` with `2!`:** \[ 1680 \neq 2 \] **Conclusion for Part (ii):** \[ \frac{8!}{4!} \text{ is not equal to } 2! \] ### Final Answers: (i) \(2! + 3! \neq 5!\) (ii) \(\frac{8!}{4!} \neq 2!\) ---
