The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \((n+2)! = 2550 \times n!\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the factorial equation We start with the equation: \[ (n + 2)! = 2550 \times n! \] We can express \((n + 2)!\) in terms of \(n!\): \[ (n + 2)! = (n + 2)(n + 1)(n!) \] Substituting this into the equation gives us: \[ (n + 2)(n + 1)(n!) = 2550 \times n! \] ### Step 2: Cancel \(n!\) Since \(n!\) appears on both sides of the equation, we can cancel it (assuming \(n! \neq 0\)): \[ (n + 2)(n + 1) = 2550 \] ### Step 3: Expand the left side Now we expand the left side: \[ n^2 + 3n + 2 = 2550 \] ### Step 4: Rearrange into standard quadratic form Next, we rearrange the equation to set it to zero: \[ n^2 + 3n + 2 - 2550 = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ n^2 + 3n - 2548 = 0 \] ### Step 5: Factor the quadratic equation Now we will factor the quadratic equation. We need two numbers that multiply to \(-2548\) and add to \(3\). The factors are \(52\) and \(-49\): \[ (n + 52)(n - 49) = 0 \] ### Step 6: Solve for \(n\) Setting each factor to zero gives us: 1. \(n + 52 = 0 \Rightarrow n = -52\) 2. \(n - 49 = 0 \Rightarrow n = 49\) ### Step 7: Determine the valid solution Since \(n\) must be a non-negative integer (as it represents a factorial), we discard \(n = -52\) and accept: \[ n = 49 \] ### Final Answer The value of \(n\) is: \[ \boxed{49} \] ---

To solve the equation \((n+2)! = 2550 \times n!\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the factorial equation We start with the equation: \[ (n + 2)! = 2550 \times n! \] We can express \((n + 2)!\) in terms of \(n!\): ...
