4.2 Activity
(10 minutes) Brainstorming: Group the class into five. Each Group will work together to answer the problem given. In
how many ways can you arrange 5 math books on a shelf?
4.3 Analysis Select random students from each group to demonstrate their answers.
(5 minutes)
1. How many ways can you arrange 5 math books on a shelf?
2. How did you arrive to your answer?
Possible answers: P(5, 5) = 5 · 4 · 3 · 2 · 1 = 120
4.4 Abstraction
(10 minutes) Lecturette on:
The number P(n, n) = n · (n − 1) · (n − 2)· · · 1 is denoted by n! or “n factorial”. n! counts the
number of ways that n objects can be arranged in a row. n! grows fast: 1! = 1, 2! = 2, 2! = 6, 4!
= 24, 5! = 120, 6! = 720, 7! = 5, 040, 8! = 40, 320, 9! = 362, 880, 10! = 3, 628, 800, . . . 59! ≈
1080 (roughly the number of particles in the universe)
We can rewrite our formula for P(n, r) in terms of factorials: P(n, r) = n! /(n –r)!.
4.5 Application
(15 minutes) Same Group. Answer and explain your solutions to the problem.
(a) Evaluate 12!
(b) In how many ways can 10 people be lined up for a photograph?
(b) Evaluate P(12, 5)
(c) How many three letter words (including nonsense words) can you make from the letters
of the English alphabet, if letters cannot be repeated? (Express your answer as P(n, r) for
some n and r and evaluate.)
4.6 Assessment
Checking of answers. Select random students from each group to explain their answer in the class.
