Question

P(9, 4) =

Answer 1

a point in rectangular coordinates

Answer 2

its probability

Answer 3

I thought it is nPr

Answer 4

a.362,880
b.15,120
c.3,024

Answer 5

Why make potential helpers guess what you want? Please...include the instructions with every problem you post.

Answer 6

this was everything they gave me

Answer 7

If you include the instructions, you yourself may understand more of what you're supposed to do.

Answer 8

poor question!

Answer 9

it is not probability, it is the number of ways you can permute 4 things from a set of 9

Answer 10

frequently written as
\[_9P4\]

Answer 11

but this time someone wrote \(P(9,4)\)same thing

Answer 12

im in online school my teachers dont give many instructions they give me the work and tell me to do it

Answer 13

computed via
\[\overbrace{9\times 8\times 7\times 6}^{\text{four terms}}\]

Answer 14

that is because on linen school is a corporate scam allowed by criminals on the school board

Answer 15

insist on going to a real school with real teachers
learn real material from real human beings

Answer 16

i didnt have much of choice it was either go here or drop out

Answer 17

for all the good this is doing, might as well drop out
but if this is a means to and end (getting a diploma) then just cheat

Answer 18

thanks i wasnt trying to drop out got a kid

Answer 19

Then help the rest of us by providing the instructions for the problem you've posted. I frankly don't believe that your online assignment mentions P(9,4) in total isolation. What's the topic of this section?

Answer 20

a sad state of affairs..

Answer 21

type it in to wolfram, there is a good chance you will get the right answer

Answer 22

in any case
\[P(9,4)=\overbrace{9\times 8\times 7\times 6}^{\text{four terms}}\]

Answer 23

probability

Answer 24

multiply and see what you get

Answer 25

now i have a question
what on earth is a "juggalo"?

Answer 26

Don't your online learning materials demonstrate the evaluation of P(9,4) or of some variation, P(4,2)?

Answer 27

no this is what they gave

Answer 28

@mathmale it is almost impossible for someone with a limited math background (anyone taking a class on this level) to read the material and understand it

Answer 29

i know right

Answer 30

Let me try again: Do your online learning materials mention the word "permutations?"

Answer 31

so i guess your best bet is to ask here
you will get some answer, and maybe a reasonable explanation, although to explain what this means would take a while
not 3 minutes on a chat

Answer 32

that is why they invented school
around 3000 years ago

Answer 33

I'm afraid its not a very good online school misfitporter
but 9*8*7*6 seems like a good answer - you'll find that comes to 3024
