Evaluate the expression.

Are you allowed to use the calculator on this?
i am allowed
OK, I can give you a formula, calculator is not necessary.\[n~~nPr~~r=~~n!/(n-r)!\]
simplify each, top and bottom like this and do it.
I'll show you....
\[6~~P~~4=6!/4!=5 \times 6=30\]this is over,\[8~~P~~6=8!/6!=7 \times 8=56\]\[SO,~~~~~30/56=15/28\]
if you don't understand, ask!
what does ! stand for
Another similar question Evaluate the factorial expression.
\[4!=1 \times 2 \times 3 \times 4\]
So if you have\[6!/4!=(1 \times 2 \times 3 \times 4 \times 5 \times 6)/(1 \times 2 \times 3 \times 4)= 5 \times 6\]\[bec ause~~"(1 \times 2 \times 3 \times 4)"~~~~can cel~~~out.\]
Go over my work above, and tell me if you get it, OK?
can you do the next question also
Yes, but (please) post it in a separate question/thread.
ok
tnx for the medal.
