🔥 Can You Solve This Factorial Equation?

99% Miss the Golden Ratio Solution Here (xⁿ - xⁿ⁻¹ = n! - (n-1)!) when preparing for Maths Olympiad, sit jee maths, sir maths, advanced maths examinations.

Here Stirlings approximation n! ≈ √(2πn)(n/e) is used to solve the problem.

In this video, we dive deep into a beautiful Number Theory problem that bridges the gap between Polynomials, Factorials, and Strilings approximations. Watch as an IITian breaks down the solution step-by-step!

The Problem: Solve for x: xⁿ - xⁿ⁻¹ = n! - (n-1)!

This isn't just a standard algebra problem. We explore integer solutions for small cases (n=1, 2, 3) and reveal a surprising connection to the Golden Ratio (φ). Finally, we push the boundaries to infinity using Stirling’s Approximation to find the asymptotic behaviour of x.

🧠 Concepts Covered in This Video:

Algebraic Manipulation: Factoring polynomials and factorials efficiently.

Case Analysis: Finding integer roots by inspection for n=1, n=2, n=3.

The Golden Ratio: How φ emerges from simple factorial difference equations at n=2.

Asymptotic Analysis: Using Stirling’s Formula (n! ≈ √(2πn)(n/e)ⁿ) to approximate solutions for large inputs.

Complex Analysis Insights: A brief look at root behavior as n approaches infinity.

🎯 Perfect For:

JEE Advanced & Mains Aspirants

Math Olympiad Students (RMO, INMO, IMO, PRMO)

ISI / CMI Entrance Exam Candidates

KVPY & CSIR NET Aspirants

Anyone who loves challenging Math problems!

💡 Key Takeaway: Learn how to approach problems that look impossible by breaking them down into small cases and applying approximation theories like x ≈ n/e for general solutions.
