Answer:

To verify that [n+3]! / n! = (n+1), we can use the definition of factorial:

[n+3]! = (n+3) * (n+2) * (n+1) * n!

And we can cancel out n! from both sides of the equation:

(n+3) * (n+2) * (n+1) = n+1

Which is true, and thus [n+3]! / n! = (n+1) holds true.

Another way to verify this is by simplifying the RHS and LHS

(n+1) = (n+1)

And the LHS,

(n+3)! = (n+3)(n+2)(n+1)n! = (n+1)(n+2)(n+3)n! = (n+1)(n+2)(n+3)!/n!

which is also equal to (n+1)

So, [n+3]! / n! = (n+1) is true.
