### Educational Resource: Exploring Recurrence Relations and Factorials

**Overview:**

This resource explores mathematical relationships and sequences through the lens of recurrence equations and factorials. It builds upon equation (8.1.2) to calculate specific values within a sequence, and examines the behavior of these sequences under certain conditions.

**Content:**

1. **Equation Use and Evaluation of \( D_n \):**

   Using Eq. 8.1.2 alongside previously defined values of \( D_1 \) and \( D_2 \), the values of \( D_n \) are determined for various \( n \).

   \[
   \begin{align*}
   D_3 &= (3 - 1)\{D_2 + D_1\} = 2\{1 + 0\} = 2 \\
   D_4 &= (4 - 1)\{D_3 + D_2\} = 3\{2 + 1\} = 9 \\
   D_5 &= (5 - 1)\{D_4 + D_3\} = 4\{9 + 2\} = 44 \\
   D_6 &= (6 - 1)\{D_5 + D_4\} = 5\{44 + 9\} = 265 \\
   D_7 &= (7 - 1)\{D_6 + D_5\} = 6\{265 + 44\} = 1\,854 \\
   D_8 &= (8 - 1)\{D_7 + D_6\} = 7\{1854 + 265\} = 14\,833 \\
   D_9 &= (9 - 1)\{D_8 + D_7\} = 8\{14833 + 1854\} = 133\,496 \\
   D_{10} &= (10 - 1)\{D_9 + D_8\} = 9\{133496 + 14833\} = 1\,334\,961 \\
   \end{align*}
   \]

2. **Question Exploration:**
   
   - Exploration of the unexpected result \( 1\,334\,961 = 10 \times (133\,496) + 1 \).
   - Inquiry into a unified
