Evaluate the following:

1) 9! + 2!
= 9(8)(7)(6)(5)(4)(3)(2)(1) + 2(1)
= 362,880 + 2
= 362,882

2) 12! ÷ 3!
= 12(11)(10)(9)(8)(7)(6)(5)(4)(3)(2)(1) ÷ 3(2)(1)
= 479,001,600 ÷ 6
= 79,833,600

3) 8! – 4!
= 8(7)(6)(5)(4)(3)(2)(1) – 4(3)(2)(1)
= 40,320 – 24
= 40,296

4) 4!(3!)(2!)
= 4(3)(2)(1)[3(2)(1)][2(1)]
= 24(6)(2)
= 288

5) P(7,4)

= ( 74 ) = ( 7−47 !) ! 4 ! = 3!7(4! !) = 3(2)(1)(4)(3)(2)(1)

7 ( 6 )( 5 ) ( 4 )( 3 )( 2 ) (1)
=

6(24 )
= 35

6) P(11,9)

= (119 ) = ( 11−9

= = 55
7) P(5,3)

= (53 ) = ( 5−35 !) ! 3 ! = 2!(35 ! !) = 52(1)3

( 4 )( 3 ) ( 2 ) (1) 120
(2)(1) 2(6)
= = 10

8) C(9,4)

= ( 94 ) = ( 9−49 !) ! 4 ! = 5!(49 ! !) = 5(4

9) 9! • C(8, 2)

= 9(8)(7)(6)(5)(4)(3)(2)(1) • (82) = ( 8−28 !) ! 2 ! = 6 !(28! !) = 6(5)(4)(3)(2)(1)(2)(1)

8(7)(6)(5) ( 4 ) ( 3 )( 2 ) (1)
=

40 , 320
= 28
720(2)
= 362, 880 • 28
= 10, 160, 640

10) P(3,1) • C(4,2)

= (3x2x1/1) • (4x3/2x1)
= 6/1 • 12/2
=6•6
= 36

11) Suppose a lawyer must select 4 jurors from a set of six candidates? How many groups
are possible?

6C4 = 60

12) You have 9 families you would like to invite to a wedding. Unfortunately, you can only
invite 6 families. How many different sets of invitations could you write?

9C6 = 84
