13 P 0
@campbell_st
its a proportion
well its a straight up calculator question... do you have a calculator that does permutations...?
i dont....
ok... so here is the formula \[^{n}P_{k} = \frac{n!}{(n - k)!}\] so in your question n = 13 and k = 0 so you have \[^{13}P_{0} = \frac{13!}{(13 - 0)!} = 1\] hope this helps.
so if you have 13 C 12, how do you set that up?
factorial notation is \[n! = 1 \times 2 \times 3 \times 4\times 5 \times.... \times n\] so as an example \[3! = 1 \times 2 \times 3 = 6\] \[4! = 1 \times 2 \times 3 \times 4 = 24\] \[5! = 1 \times 2\times 3 \times 4 \times 5 = 60\]
so in my equation is n! = 13
or do you multiply 13 * 12 and then find the divisibility?
ok... so this is a combination the combination formula is slightly different. \[^{n}C_{r} = \frac{n!}{r!(n - r)!} \] in your question you have \[^{13}C_{12} = \frac{ 13!}{12!(13-12)!} = 13\]
OH!!!! i get it now
glad to help
