Solve for n (2n)!=30(2n-2)! n is in N set

Here is the given
equation:


(2n)! =
30(2n-2)!


Since (2n)! =
(2n)(2n-1)(2n-2)!,


we can plug this into the above
equation.


=> (2n)(2n-1)(2n-2)! =
30(2n-2)!


When we divide each side by
(2n-2)!,


we get (2n)(2n-1) =
30,


=> 4n^2 - 2n =
30


=> 4n^2 - 2n - 30 =
0


=> (4n+10)(n-3) =
0


Therefore, n= -5/2 or
3


However, since only n=3 is in the N
set,


n=3 will be the only
answer.

Calculate tan(x-y), if sin x=1/2 and sin y=1/3. 0

We'll write the formula of the tangent of difference of 2 angles. tan (x-y) = (tan x - tan y)/(1 + tan x*tan y) ...
