Final answer:
To find the number of arrangements for 14 songs on a playlist, calculate 14 factorial (14!), which is the product of all positive integers from 14 down to 1.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is asking about the number of ways to arrange 14 songs on a playlist, which is a type of permutation problem. To determine the total number of arrangements for the 14 songs, we would use the concept of factorial, denoted as n!, which is the product of all positive integers up to a number n. Since we are arranging 14 songs, we want to calculate 14! (14 factorial), which equals 14 × 13 × 12 × … × 3 × 2 × 1.
To systematically determine this, you would start by considering that the first song can be any of the 14. For each choice of the first song, there are 13 choices for the second song, then 12 for the third, and so on, down to 1 choice for the last place on the playlist. Therefore, the total number of ways to arrange the 14 songs is the multiplication of these choices.
