anonymous · Answer

what does (1p6) mean?

anonymous · Answer

i am going to assume that " 12 P 2" means "12 permute 2" i.e. $12\times 11$

anonymous · Answer

in the question the P is big and number are small

anonymous · Answer

yeah that is what i figured, which is why 1P 6 doesn't make any sense

anonymous · Answer

can you post it?  or use the equation editor?  because 1 P 6 is not right

anonymous · Answer

@satellite73  what do you mean post it?

anonymous · Answer

is it from a book? is it on line?  scan or link

anonymous · Answer

it's online, I'd send the link but it's on an open exam for a class

anonymous · Answer

in "n P k" n should be greater than or equal to k

anonymous · Answer

hold on i'll take a picture an attach the file

anonymous · Answer

ok if it is an exam pretend i didn't ask you you didn't say it was an exam

anonymous · Answer

technically it's not an exam.

anonymous · Answer

that is not a 1, it is a 7 !!!

anonymous · Answer

oh then that would make sense!

anonymous · Answer

I'm sorry I couldn't tell. I still need help on this one though.

anonymous · Answer

ok well what you really need is a calculator 
 7 P 6 = 7!

anonymous · Answer

and 12 P 2 = 12 * 11 = 132
