9-4 Permutations (pg 381-383) Indicator – D7

description

If the permutation includes all the members it can be written as a factorial – n! (n members = n x (n-1) x (n-2)… × 1 or n!) (Start at n and count backward until you get to 1, multiply all of those numbers.) Example: How many ways can you arrange12 students in a class picture? 12P12 = 12 × 11 × 10 × … × 1 or 12! = 479,001,600 ways!! Calculator Keys: 12 PRB > > ! = Screen Looks like: 12! Press = again.

Permutation: an arrangement, or listing, of objects in which order is important (you can use the to find the # of possible arrangements)

Ex: How many ways can 5 classes be arranged during 1st to 3rd period?

5P3 =

FCP

5X4X3= 60
