^5P_1\text{ =5}Step-by-step explanation:

6) 5 P 1

To evaluate the above permuation, we would aply the permutation formula:


^nP_r\text{ = }(n!)/((n-r)!r!)
\begin{gathered} n\text{ = 5, r = 1} \\ ^5P_1=(5!)/((5-1)!1!) \\ \end{gathered}
\begin{gathered} ^5P_1\text{ = }(5!)/(4!*1!) \\ 1!\text{ = 1} \\ 5!\text{= }5*4! \\ ^5P_1\text{ = }(5*4!)/(4!*1) \\ ^5P_1\text{ = }5 \end{gathered}
