\[\left(\begin{matrix}15 \\ 8\end{matrix}\right)\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
determine the value
myininaya (myininaya):
\[\frac{15!}{8!(15-8)!}=\frac{15 \cdot 14 \cdot 13 \ \cdot 12 \cdot 11 \cdot 10 \cdot 9 \cdot 8!}{8! \cdot 7!}=\frac{15 \cdot 14 \cdot 13 \cdot 12 \cdot 11 \cdot 10 \cdot 9}{7!}\]

ty
myininaya (myininaya):

so just multiply the top?
myininaya (myininaya):
\[\frac{5 \cdot 3 \cdot 2 \cdot 7 \cdot 13 \cdot 4 \cdot 3 \cdot 11 \cdot 10 \cdot 9}{7 \cdot 6 \cdot 5 \cdot 4 \cdot 3 \cdot 2}\]
\[=\frac{13 \cdot 3 \cdot 11 \cdot 10 \cdot 9}{6}=\frac{13 \cdot 11 \cdot 10 \cdot 9}{2}\]
myininaya (myininaya):
yes now you just multiply the top
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so how exactly do u break up 7!
myininaya (myininaya):
14=2(7)
there is 7 on bottom
so the 7's cancel

so u went from 7! to 7 . 6 . 5 . 4 . 3 . 2
myininaya (myininaya):
\[a!=a \cdot (a-1) \cdot (a-2) \cdot \cdot \cdot 3 \cdot 2 \cdot 1\]

kk tyvm
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so the answer would be 6435
myininaya (myininaya):
and also we could have divided top by 2 and bottom by 2
because 10=2(5) right?
