$$

Prove that
$$
I_n=frac{1}{(n+1)!}+I_{n+1}
$$
I tried integration by parts and still can't prove it, I appreciate any hint/answer.

Following the proof of the recurrence relation by Zacky, we have
$$I_{n+1}=I_n-frac{1}{(n+1)!}$$
$$=I_{n-1}-frac{1}{n!}-frac{1}{(n+1)!}$$
$$=I_0 - sum_{k=1}^{n+1} frac{1}{k!}$$
We can calculate $I_0$ as follows
$$I_0 = int_0^1 e^x dx=[e^x]_0^1=e-1$$
Therefore the final solution is:
$$I_{n+1}=e-1 - sum_{k=1}^{n+1} frac{1}{k!}$$
$$=e-sum_{k=0}^{n+1} frac{1}{k!}$$
or equivalently;
$$I_n=e-sum_{k=0}^{n} frac{1}{k!}$$

Following the proof of the recurrence relation by Zacky, we have
$$I_{n+1}=I_n-frac{1}{(n+1)!}$$
$$=I_{n-1}-frac{1}{n!}-frac{1}{(n+1)!}$$
$$=I_0 - sum_{k=1}^{n+1} frac{1}{k!}$$
We can calculate $I_0$ as follows
$$I_0 = int_0^1 e^x dx=[e^x]_0^1=e-1$$
Therefore the final solution is:
$$I_{n+1}=e-1 - sum_{k=1}^{n+1} frac{1}{k!}$$
$$=e-sum_{k=0}^{n+1} frac{1}{k!}$$
or equivalently;
$$I_n=e-sum_{k=0}^{n} frac{1}{k!}$$
