Answer: E

The key here is that f(51) is EQUAL to f(50)
Here's why:
According to the definition of the function f, f(51) = (2)(4)(6). . . (48)(50), and f(50) = (2)(4)(6). . . (48)(50)
So, f(51) - f(50) = [(2)(4)(6). . . (48)(50)] - [(2)(4)(6). . . (48)(50)]
= 0

A. (51)50!

Answer: E

Since both f(51) and f(50) are the product of all even integers from 2 to 50, inclusive, the difference between f(51) and f(50) is 0.
