Question

The "P" in 20p9 represents a:

A. Permutation
B. the number of items in the set
C. the number of objects selected from the set

Answer 1

option (A) —Permutation.

Explanation:

this is because permutation comes in this form and looks like that and I have learnt permutation in the past.

so yeah;

examples of permutations:

²⁰p9 ( 20 upper case, 9 lower case and p in-between)

we can solve it by

Formula: n!/(n-r)!

soooo

20!/(20-9)!

= 20!/(11)!

=20x19x18x17x16x15x14x13x12x11!/11!

we cancel out the 11!s (for easier solving)

and multiply or cancel out the remaining ( if you can't cancel out yet just multiply)

we get,

6.09493248 x 10¹⁰

~ 6 x 10¹⁰

there you go.( I know I did a little bit too much)

Hope this helps

Good luck.
