nP6 : nP3 = 120 : 1
n!
----------
(n-6)! 120
---------------------- = -------------
n! 1
----------
(n-3)!
⇒ (n-3)! 120
--------- =
(n-6)!
⇒(n-3)(n-4)(n-5)(n-6)!
--------------------------------- = 12
(n-6)!
⇒(n-3)(n-4)(n-5)=12
⇒(n²-4n-3n+12)(n-5)=12
⇒(n²-7n+12)(n-5)=12
⇒n(n²-7n+12)-5(n²-7n+12)=12
⇒n³-7n²+12n-5n²+35n-60=12
⇒n³-12n²+47n-72=0
