Answer:

The expression 1!+2!+3!+4!+.....+n! (Where n is a natural number) is not a / an:

c) perfect square

Step-by-step explanation:

_______1!+2!+3!+4!+.....+n! Is a composite number____________

proof: 1!+2!=3 and 3!+4!+.....+n! has 3 as a factor

then 1!+2!+3!+4!+.....+n! has 3 as a factor

__________________________________________________

_______1!+2!+3!+4!+.....+n! is an odd number________________

proof: 2!+3!+4!+.....+n! has 2 as a factor then it’s an even number

then if we add 1! , we get an odd number 1!+2!+3!+4!+.....+n!

__________________________________________________

______1!+2!+3!+4!+.....+n! is a multiple of 3__________________

proof : 1!+2!=3 and 3!+4!+.....+n! has 3 as a factor

then 1!+2!+3!+4!+.....+n! has 3 as a factor therefore it’s a multiple of 3.

__________________________________________________

______1!+2!+3!+4!+.....+n! is not a perfect square _____________

proof: a perfect square number must end with one of these digits 0,1,4,5,6 and 9

in other words it will never end with 3

reason :

0^2=0

1^2=1

2^2=4

3^2=9

4^2=16

5^2=25

6^2=36

7^2=49

8^2=64

9^2=81

in addition, the factorial of any number from 5 to n end with zero

cause it has 2 and 5 as factors at the same time

examples:

5!=120

6!=720

7!=5 040

.

.

.

then the sum 5!+.....+n! Will end with 0

also, 1!+2!+3!+4!=33

conclusion:

1!+2!+3!+4!+.....+n!  = (1!+2!+3!+4!) +(5! +.....+n!)

                             = 33 + ( a large number which end with 0)

                             = a large number that ends with 3

we conclude that :1!+2!+3!+4!+.....+n! is not a perfect square

Answer:

c) perfect square

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets take one example:

n = 4

1 + 2! + 3! + 4! = 33

33 is odd, multiple of 3 and also composite. But, not a perfect square
