P(5,3) = 5 x 4 x 3 = 60 P(5,3) = 5 x 4 x 3 = 60 different different waysways


How Do I Find The Value of A How Do I Find The Value of A PermutationPermutation??

- We calculate the value of a - We calculate the value of a permutation in the following way:permutation in the following way:

P(5,3) = 5 x 4 x 3 = 60 P(5,3) = 5 x 4 x 3 = 60 different different waysways

Start with this number

Count down this many numbers

Example 1Example 1:: Permutations.Permutations.Find the value for P(5,2).Find the value for P(5,2).


Example 1Example 1:: Permutations.Permutations.Find the value for P(5,2).Find the value for P(5,2).

P(5,2) = 5 x 4 = P(5,2) = 5 x 4 = 2020
