Which factor will not appear in the expansion of ( \frac{(n+4)!}{n!} )?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (n)

The direct answer is option D, \(n\). Factorials are products of consecutive positive integers: \((n+4)!=(n+4)(n+3)(n+2)(n+1)n!\). Therefore, \(\frac{(n+4)!}{n!}=\frac{(n+4)(n+3)(n+2)(n+1)n!}{n!}=(n+4)(n+3)(n+2)(n+1)\). The factor \(n!\) cancels completely, and the expansion stops at \(n+1\), so \(n\) itself does not appear. Option A, \(n+1\), appears; option B, \(n+2\), appears; option C, \(n+3\), appears; option D, \(n\), does not appear. A common mistake is to start the product at \(n\); remember that dividing by \(n!\) removes all factors through \(n\).
