| | We are all familiar with Pascal's Triangle, also known as the Arithmetic Triangle (AT). Each entry in the AT is the sum of the two closest entries in the row above it. The $latex {k}&fg=000000$-th entry in row $latex {n}&fg=000000$ is the binomial coefficient $latex {\binom{n}{k}}&fg=000000$ (read $latex {n}&fg=000000$-choose-$latex {k}&fg=000000$), the number of ways of...

| | In this post I would like to prove the following identity, motivated by this tweet. $latex \displaystyle n! \prod_{k=0}^n \frac{1}{x+k} = \frac{1}{x\binom{x+n}{n}} = \sum_{k=0}^n \frac{(-1)^k \binom{n}{k}}{x+k}$ The first of these equalities is straightforward by the definition of binomial coefficients. To prove the second, we make use of partial fractions. We write the expansion $latex \displaystyle...
