Evaluate the expression. A. 36 B. 1/8 C. 72 D. 1
\(\sf 9! \rightarrow 9 \times 8 \times 7 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1\)
\(\sf \dfrac{ 9 \times 8 \times 7 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2}{7 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 2}\)
We can take out the one's because multiplying by 1 doesn't change anything.
What do I do with that? Multiply the top then the bottom and divide?
\(\sf \dfrac{ 9 \times 8 \times \cancel 7 \times \cancel 6 \times \cancel 5 \times \cancel 4 \times \cancel 3 \times \cancel 2}{\cancel 7 \times \cancel 6 \times \cancel 5 \times \cancel 4 \times \cancel 3 \times \cancel 2 \times 2}\)
We cancel out the similar numbers.
Leaving us with: \(\sf \dfrac{9 \times 8}{2}\) Simplify
Ohh.. Okay thank you!!!!!
No problem.
