WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST ANSWER IF ANSWER WITH EXPLANATION!!!!! Given that the three factorials n!, (n+1)! and (n+19) · n! form an arithmetic sequence where n is a positive integer, what is the product of the digits of n?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The product of the digits of n is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

An arithmetic series is of the form

The nth term of an arithmetic series = aₙ + (n - 1)d

Therefore, for the series, we have;

n!, (n+1)!, (n+19)n!

Therefore;

n! + (n - 1)·d = (n+1)! = (n + 1)·n! = n·n! + n!

n·n! = (n - 1)·d

n! + (n + 1 - 1)·d =  (n+19)n!

n! + n·d =  n·n!+19·n! = (n - 1)·d +19·n! = n·d - d + 19·n!

n! - 19·n! = n·d - n·d - d

-18·n! = -d

Therefore, d = 18·n!

n! + d = (n + 1)!

n! + 18·n! = (n + 1)·n!

n!·(18 + 1) = (n + 1)·n!

18 + 1 = n + 1

∴ n = 18

Hence the product of the digits of n = 1 × 8 = 8
