oh ok thanks how about this one What is the value of 10P10? a )3,628,800 b) 1,814,400 c) 100 d) 0

OpenStudy (amistre64):

10P10 = 10! so just multiply all the numbers 10 and below

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so all your doing is 10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1= 3,628,800

OpenStudy (amistre64):

correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thank you so much

OpenStudy (amistre64):

note that: 10P4 is telling use to do the same thing, but with the first 4 numbers there 10*9*8*7 think of nPr as, "Picking" the first r numbers from n

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so if its 8P4 it would be 8*7*6*5

OpenStudy (amistre64):

exactly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thank you! you've helped so much!

OpenStudy (amistre64):
