Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
P(n,5) = n!/(n - 5)!
20P(n,3) = 20n!/(n - 3)!
Equate the two to get
n!/(n - 5)! = 20n!/(n - 3)!
Take the reciprocal of both sides,
(n - 5)!/n! = (n - 3)!/(20n!)
(n - 5)!/n! = (n - 3)(n - 4)(n - 5)!/(20n!)
Divide out (n - 5)!/n!,
1 = (n - 3)(n - 4)/20
(n - 3)(n - 4) - 20 = 0
n² - 7n + 12 - 20 = 0
n² - 7n - 8 = 0
Factor,
(n - 8)(n + 1) = 0
n = -1 is obviously not an answer, so we have n = 8.
Check:
P(8,5) = 6720
P(8,3) = 336
