Final answer:
The first four terms of the sequence with the nth term given by (N!)/((N-1)!) are 1, 2, 3, and 4.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student is asking us to find the first four terms of the sequence where the nth term is given by the formula (N!)/((N-1)!). Recall that N! (N factorial) means the product of all positive integers from 1 up to N.
To find the first four terms, we substitute N with 1, 2, 3, and 4 respectively:
- For N=1: (1!)/(0!) = 1/1 = 1
- For N=2: (2!)/(1!) = 2/1 = 2
- For N=3: (3!)/(2!) = 6/2 = 3
- For N=4: (4!)/(3!) = 24/6 = 4
Thus, the first four terms of the sequence are 1, 2, 3, and 4.
