Answer :

9

Explanation :

The expression above signifies the Permutation expression

Permutation expression is given as nPr

The Permutation expression is calculated as:

nPr = P(n, r) = n! / (n - r)!

It the above question, we were asked to evaluate the expression 9P1

From the above question, we can see that:

n = 9 and r = 1

Therefore, the expression

9P1 = 9! / ( 9 - 1) !

9P1 = 9! / 8!

= 9 × 8 × 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 / 8 × 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1

= 362880 /40320

= 9

Therefore, the evaluation of the expression 9P1 = 9
