Hello, Thank you! And no :/ I do online and I haven't really learned much from it.

Your Welcome :) look at this example :) \[\large 6!=6\ X\ 5\ X\ 4\ X\ 3\ X\ 2\ X\ 1\]

I don't understand the "!" part it's confusing.

rvc (rvc):

! the symbol is called factorial

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, How would you work that out to find out the answer.... I'm so confused :[

rvc (rvc):

it's nothing but multiply the same no in a descending order till 1 as you can see it in the example

OpenStudy (anonymous):
