Q5 = (1+4 · 5)(3)
(21)(3) = (21)(20)(19) = 7980,
(1.185)
we would obtain the indicated wrong value, 7980, rather than the correct
value, 4641. So, be careful!
1.7.2 Example B

Prove the following (Newton's theorem): If fk is a polynomial of the nth
degree, then it can be written in the form
fk = fo +
1!
Afo .(1) +
A" fo 1(n).
2!
+...+
n!
(1.186)
Assume that fk has the representation
fk
= ao + a1k() + a2k(²) + ·..
+ ank(n).
(1.187)
where ao, a1, ..., an are constants. Differencing fk n times gives
= a1 + 2a2k(1)
+ 3azk(2)
+ па,k(п-1),
+...
A? fk = 2.1. a2 + 3 · 2 · azk(1)
+..+n(n – 1)ank(n-2).

A" fk = ann(n – 1) ... (1).

THE DIFFERENCE CALCULUS

Setting k
= 0 in the original function and its differences allows us to conclude
that
Am fo
ат
0, 1,
(1.189)
m =
...., n.
т!
To illustrate the use of this theorem, consider the function
fk = k4.
(1.190)
Now
Afk = 4k° + 6k² + 4k + 1,
A² fk = 12k? + 24k + 14,
(1.191)
A³ fk = 24k + 36,
A* fk = 24,
and
fo = 0, Afo = 1,
A² fo = 14, A³ fo = 36, A fo = 24.
(1.192)
Therefore, from equation (1.189),
ао — 0,
a1 = 1,
a2 = 7,
аз — 6,
a4
1,
and fk
k4 has the factorial polynomial representation
fk = k4 = k(1) + 7k(2) + 6k(3) + k(4).
