Maths help

wouldnt i have to write it with a Pie notations

Would the answer be let f(x) =(x^3-3)(x^4-4)
Pie Notation f(x)
X=1.....n

I'm still not clear on what you're being asked to do here?

Is this a school level question or a university one? Your function has no dependency on an index like 'n', so I'm not clear what value the "product notation" is supposed to have! Are you sure you're not being asked to factorize the expression?

It may be a trivial product (no expansion necessary) involving two terms, starting with i=* and finishing with i=*?
The symmetry in the exponent and constant in each factor suggests it might be, though I'd look at the surrounding questions to see if its likely to be that easy.

Just seems a strange way to phrase it tbh. I was rather hoping the OP would come back with more info / background or an image of the question

Hard to argue with that.

Here is the picture of the actual question

OK so no more info in the question

Have you covered similar examples in class for practice? @mqb2766 gave a hint in post #7 but it's difficult to give more without giving the solution away.

Can you think of a way of writing the factors x^3 - 3 and x^4 - 4 in terms of some parameter i which would allow you to introduce the product notation?

yeah i figured it out but i just didnt understand the wording in '

product notation'

i got

product_(n=3)^4(x^n - n) = (x^3 - 3) (x^4 - 4)
Thanks for the help guys
