Question

Prove that:
1 . P (1, 1) + 2 . P (2, 2) + 3 . P (3, 3) + ... + n . P (n, n) = P (n + 1, n + 1) − 1.

Solution

1.P (1, 1) + 2. P (2, 2) + 3. P (3, 3) + ... + n . P (n, n) = P (n + 1, n + 1) − 1
P (n,n) = n!
1.1! + 2.2! + 3.3! ......+ n.n! = (n+1)! − 1
LHS = 1.1! + 2.2! + 3.3! ......+ n.n!
=r=1nr.r!=r=1nr+1-1 r!= r=1nr+1 r! - r! = r=1n{(r+1)!-r!} = 2!-1!+3!-2!+...n+1!-n!=n+1!-1! = n+1!-1 = RHS Hence, proved.
