1. Let n be a positive integer and n! is defined as follows:
n! =n(n-1)(n-2).............3x2x1
Prove by mathematical induction that 1x1! + 2x2! +.....nxn! - 1for all positive integers n .

Let p=(x^2 +2x+8)/x-2........................(*)
where x is real. By expressig * in the form ax^2 +bx+c=0,
find the range of possible values of (x^2 +2x+8)/x-2.
Hence find the range of possible values of l (x^2 +2x+8)/x-2 l
