Algebra Level 2

( 2 n ) ! n ! = 1 \large (2n)! - n! = 1

Solve for n n .

Notation: ! ! denotes the factorial notation . For example: 8 ! = 1 × 2 × 3 × × 8 8! = 1\times 2 \times 3 \times \cdots \times 8 .

Notice that if n = 0 n=0 we have then 0 = 1 0 =1 which is absurd and thus n 0 n\not = 0 . ( 2 n ) ! = 1 + n ! 2 ( 2 n 1 ) ! = 1 + n ! \,(2n)! = 1 + n! \implies \,2(2n-1)! = 1+n! Note that n ! n! is even for n 2 n\geq 2 which implies that 1 + n ! 1+n! is an odd every integer n 2 \forall n \geq 2 . Since the left hand side is even , the value that satisfy the respective sides n 2 = 1 n\leq 2 =1 .
