Yes?

simplify 10p4 A. 210 B. 360 C. 5,040 D. 151,200 simplify 9c4 A. 126 B. 15,120 C. 5 D. 3,024

Ek...embryo's got this.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1. = C.

Don't just give the answers. .-. EXPLAIN HOW YOU GOT THEM

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B. 9! / [4!(9-4)!] = 126 More detailed would be to expand the factorial and cancel out terms like 9x8x7x6x5x4x3x2x1/[4x3x2x1(5x4x3x2x1)]

ist the first 4 numbers starting from 10 10 9 8 7 then multiply them together 10*9*8*7 = 10p4

Ohhh, Permutation and Combination, alright, so recall what the formulas for those are, Permutation is as follows\[aPb=\frac{ a! }{ (b-a)! }\]where "a" and "b" are both numbers that you are given, Combination is as follows,\[aCb=\frac{ a! }{ b!(b-a)! }\]where again, "a" and "b" are both numbers that you are most likely given, now if you don't remember what "!" means in math, it's just the multiplication of that number times one less of itself until you get to 1, so\[5!=5*4*3*2*1\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep

Sorry, i'm pretty slow at typing out my explanations, always making sure i did it right, making sure i don't overlook anything.
