OpenStudy (mathmath333):

\(\large \color{black}{\begin{align} & \normalsize \text{In how many ways can u place the given colored circles in a circle}\hspace{.33em}\\~\\ \end{align}}\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I don't quite get the Q-:( In how many ways you can place them `in a circle`?

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

yes this one ^

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

i still don't understand what they mean by placing these squares into a circle. Can someone explain to me what is exactly happening?

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

example assume the colored circles are objects \(\large \color{black}{\begin{align} &\normalsize \text{in how many ways can u place the objects in a circle} \hspace{.33em}\\~\\ \end{align}}\)

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

do u understand now ?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

All I can tell you is that if you rearrange them in different order, then the number of these rearrangements is going to be equivalent to: \(\large\color{black}{ \displaystyle 8{\rm P}8=\frac{8!}{(8-8)!} =40320 }\) But I am not sure how much that relates to the question, because I still don't actually understand the case in the question.

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

but did u understand the question

OpenStudy (mathmath333):
