\(4!\) was to arrange the authors, then each author's books have \(4!\) ways to be arranges
so i guess it is \(4!\times 4!\times 4!\times 4!\times 4!\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
why is it multiplied 5 times?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
counting principle
OpenStudy (anonymous):
4! ways to arrange the authors
then 4! ways to arrange the first author's books
4! ways to arrange second author's books
etc
counting principle says multiply all these together
