Q59Section I (Objective (Q1–Q80))59 of 80

Numerical Analysis — Newton–Gregory summation formula

Let

P=[(n1)+(n2)Δ+(n3)Δ2+⋯+(nn)Δn−1]y1P=\left[\binom{n}{1}+\binom{n}{2}\Delta+\binom{n}{3}\Delta^2+\dots+\binom{n}{n}\Delta^{n-1}\right]y_1

and Q=y1+y2+⋯+ynQ=y_1+y_2+\dots+y_n. If the interval of difference is h=1h=1, then what is P/QP/Q equal to?
