How Do You Calculate The Following Expressions P(4,2),P(8,7),C(9,7)?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Assuming you mean
      P(a,b) = a!/(a-b)!
      C(a,b) = P(a,b)/b!

    P(4,2) = 4!/(4-2)! = 4*3 = 12
    P(8,7) = 8!/(8-7)! = 8*7*6*5*4*3*2 = 40,320
    C(9,7) = 9!/(2!*7!) = 9*8/2 = 36
    _____
    You know, of course, that
    0! = 1
    1! = 1
    n! = n*((n-1)!)
    1 0
