Question Number 178543 by Acem last updated on 17/Oct/22

Find n , P_(n+2) ^( 4) = 14P_n ^( 3)

$${Find}\:{n}\:,\:{P}_{{n}+\mathrm{2}} ^{\:\mathrm{4}} =\:\mathrm{14}{P}_{{n}} ^{\:\mathrm{3}} \\ $$

 ^(n+2) P_4 =14 ^n P_3  ⇒(((n+2)!)/((n−2)!))=14((n!)/((n−3)!))  ⇒(((n+2)(n+1))/(n−2))=14 ⇒n^2 −11n+30=0  ⇒(n−6)(n−5)=0 ⇒n=5 or n=6

$$\overset{{n}+\mathrm{2}} {\:}{P}_{\mathrm{4}} =\mathrm{14}\overset{{n}} {\:}{P}_{\mathrm{3}} \:\Rightarrow\frac{\left({n}+\mathrm{2}\right)!}{\left({n}−\mathrm{2}\right)!}=\mathrm{14}\frac{{n}!}{\left({n}−\mathrm{3}\right)!} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\frac{\left({n}+\mathrm{2}\right)\left({n}+\mathrm{1}\right)}{{n}−\mathrm{2}}=\mathrm{14}\:\Rightarrow{n}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{11}{n}+\mathrm{30}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\left({n}−\mathrm{6}\right)\left({n}−\mathrm{5}\right)=\mathrm{0}\:\Rightarrow{n}=\mathrm{5}\:\mathrm{or}\:{n}=\mathrm{6} \\ $$

  As an advice my friend, we must find a condition   for n befor i.e.   {: ((P_4 ^( n+2) : n+2≥ 4 ⇒ n≥ 2)),((P_3 ^( n) : n≥ 3)) } ⇒ n≥ 3   After that we find n and accept only which   belonging to the domain above
