The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the sequence given by \[ x_n = \frac{195}{4P_n} - \frac{(n + 3)P_3}{P_{n+1}} \] where \( P_n = n! \) (the factorial of \( n \)). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Substituting \( P_n \) and \( P_{n+1} \)**: We know that \( P_n = n! \) and \( P_{n+1} = (n+1)! = (n+1) \cdot n! \). Thus, we can rewrite the sequence: \[ x_n = \frac{195}{4n!} - \frac{(n + 3) \cdot 6}{(n + 1) \cdot n!} \] Here, \( P_3 = 3! = 6 \). 2. **Combining the terms**: We can combine the two fractions by finding a common denominator, which is \( 4n!(n + 1) \): \[ x_n = \frac{195(n + 1) - 4(n + 3) \cdot 6}{4n!(n + 1)} \] Simplifying the numerator: \[ = \frac{195(n + 1) - 24(n + 3)}{4n!(n + 1)} \] \[ = \frac{195n + 195 - 24n - 72}{4n!(n + 1)} \] \[ = \frac{171n + 123}{4n!(n + 1)} \] 3. **Finding when \( x_n > 0 \)**: For \( x_n \) to be positive, the numerator must be greater than zero: \[ 171n + 123 > 0 \] Solving for \( n \): \[ 171n > -123 \] \[ n > -\frac{123}{171} \approx -0.72 \] Since \( n \) is a natural number, this condition is satisfied for all positive integers. 4. **Checking the denominator**: The denominator \( 4n!(n + 1) \) is always positive for \( n \in \mathbb{N} \). 5. **Finding the upper limit**: We need to determine if there is an upper limit for \( n \). We can analyze the quadratic formed from the numerator: \[ 171n + 123 = 0 \] This does not provide an upper limit since it is always positive for \( n \geq 1 \). 6. **Conclusion**: The sequence \( x_n \) is positive for all \( n \) in \( \mathbb{N} \). Therefore, we need to find the number of positive integers \( n \) such that \( x_n \) remains positive. Since there is no upper limit derived from the conditions, we conclude that there are infinitely many positive terms in the sequence. ### Final Answer: The number of positive terms in the sequence is infinite.

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the sequence given by \[ x_n = \frac{195}{4P_n} - \frac{(n + 3)P_3}{P_{n+1}} \] where \( P_n = n! \) (the factorial of \( n \)). ...
