you have to put..in which set  does ′a′ belong??

a^2 −a=2+4=6  (a+2)(a−3)=0  ⇒a=3

$${a}^{\mathrm{2}} −{a}=\mathrm{2}+\mathrm{4}=\mathrm{6} \\ $$$$\left({a}+\mathrm{2}\right)\left({a}−\mathrm{3}\right)=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{a}=\mathrm{3} \\ $$

I am not fighting with others...  but you tried to do so I think..  I just wanted to tell two simple  things (i)I am not claim all the  possible values of  a are  the   solutions(ii) even I didnot conclude  anything so why you are the guys  are so worrid with that...  am I criticize anyone??if this  is so simple matter then it is not  requare furthur comment.

Commented by smridha last updated on 09/Jun/20

am I put complex number in  combination???then what??  I just show how many values  a have??I don′t claim all the   possible values must satisfy  the combination......  the apperence of this question is  wrong!!! find a???what does it   mean??we logically choose  the value of a among the values  of a.so it does not mean that a  have only possible value 3..   moreover it means a takes value  3 for satisfy this combination.  for this combination 3 is unique  value  (of a) but not for a.

as for the answer of this question,  the only correct answer is a=3, other  values of a are non−sense for this  question.  i think as C_2 ^(a^2 −a) =C_4 ^(a^2 −a)  is written, it is  automatically said due to definition  that a∈Z and a^2 −a≥2 and a^2 −a≥4.

ooh man!!am i claim all the possible  values satisfy this combination??  even am I put any conclution in my   solution??  this is the question of how much  we can do??  we have any idea??about  the factorial of complex number!!  factorial of negetive intiger!!  so we ignore them....this is the  fault.if there is theory behind   them we are then satisfied..is not  it????

sir: nobody said that you are wrong  or something like that. it seems  you see critical comments from others  as attacks and want to fight back.  what a pity! since a forum is place for  discussion,exchange and learning  from each other. all people here are  equal.
