For any integer greater than 1, the symbol K* denotes the product of all the fractions of the form 1/t, where t is an integer betweek 1& K, inclusive. What is the value of 5*/4*?
1/5
1/5
From the definition of the function,
5* = (1/1)(1/2)(1/3)(1/4)(1/5)
4* = (1/1)(1/2)(1/3)(1/4)
so, dividing 5* by 4*, all the fractions in the numerator cancel out with equal fractions in the denominator except for 1/5.
