What does the symbol for factorial function (n!) mean?
a.
It means to divide a series of descending natural numbers.
c.
It means to divide a series of ascending natural numbers.
b.
It means to multiply a series of descending natural numbers.
d.
It means to multiply a series of ascending natural numbers.

It means B and it can also mean D.

Take for example which can be written as in descending order however .

Further reading.

The factorial function where is defined as taking the n-th derivative of exponential function namely,

.

We observe that we approach smaller and smaller values of n and therefore multiply by smaller and smaller natural number while total product increasing since every number we multiply the product with is non-decimal.

Hope this helps.

(x3 + 6x2 + 2x - 6) • (x - 1)

step-by-step explanation:

polynomial long division :

3.2     polynomial long division

dividing :   x4+5x3-4x2-8x+6

                              ("dividend")

by         :     x-1     ("divisor")

dividend     x4   +   5x3   -   4x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * x3     x4   -   x3            

remainder         6x3   -   4x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * 6x2         6x3   -   6x2        

remainder             2x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * 2x1             2x2   -   2x    

remainder               -   6x   +   6

- divisor   * -6x0               -   6x   +   6

remainder                     0

quotient :   x3+6x2+2x-6   remainder:   0

y > 1/3x

y < = -x + 4

hope this : )
