Evaluate the following permutation
6P2
Permutation Definition:
An order or arrangement
Permutation Formula:
| nPr = | n! |
| (n - r)! |
where n is the number of items
r is the number of arrangements.
Plug in n = 6 and r = 2
| 6P2 2 | 6! |
| (6 - 2)! |
Factorial Formula:
n! = n * (n - 1) * (n - 2) * .... * 2 * 1
Calculate n!:
n! = 6!
6! = 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1
6! = 720
Calculate (n - r)!:
(n - r)! = (6 - 2)!
(6 - 2)! = 4!
4! = 4 x 3 x 2 x 1
4! = 24
Calculate 6P2:
| 6P2 = | 720 |
| 24 |
6P2 = 30
