1. This is simply a calculation; there should be no need for you to ask us to do it for you....



2. nP6 = nP4 × 4P2




This can be solved by inspection. (n-5) and (n-4) are two consecutive integers whose product is 12, so they are 3 and 4; that makes n = 8.

ANSWER: n = 8

Using formal algebra....





or

Reject the solution n=1, because the expressions 1P6 and 1P4 are undefined.

ANSWER (again): n=8
