Answer:

See below.

Explanation:


\boxed{\text{PERMUTATIONS}}}

Objects are arranged from last to first in "permutations". The order in which the objects are picked is extremely important.

Permutations of n objects taken r at a time = the first r factorials of n!

Formula of permutations:


\Longrightarrow: \sf{_nP_r=n(n-1)(n-2).....(n-r+1)=(n!)/((n-r)!) }

I hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions.
