PERMUTATION

MOTIVATION ACTIVITY!!
Instructions: Group the class into four and the teacher will give 4 cards with letter L.O, V, E
written on each card. Students will put the cards face down on the table and shuffle the cards
three times. Let the student choose 3 cards and face that card up. Students will record all the
possible arrangements of those 3 letters. If done, using all the cards, students will record all the
possible arrangements of the four cards.

PRESENTATION OF THE LESSON
Here is a term in mathematics that refers to the possible arrangements of things. And that is
_________?

PERMUTATION is used to indicate ordered arrangements of objects.

For instance, given a set of distinct objects, we can arrange them in several ways.
Like what we did with the possible arrangements of the 3 letters and 4 letters. The
listed arrangements are what we called________.
A permutation is an arrangement or ordering. For a permutation, the order matters.
Now, what are the permutations of the digits 0, 1, and 8?

LESSON PROPER
Now, how are we going to find the number of permutations of distinct n objects
taken r at a time?
 Bact To The Page 162: Read Ad Explain

Remember class that the object that we are talking about is the subject that is being
permuted. It may be an animal, a person, a letter, a number, or any other thing.

PERMUTATION OF N OBJECTS TAKEN N AT A TIME

 LET’S HAVE EXAMPLE 1.1

FACTORIAL OF ANY NATURAL NUMBERS

 EXAMPLE 1.3
PERMUTATION WITH REPITITIVE ELEMENTS

CIRCULAR PERMUTATIONS
In circular permutation, we are dealing with circular arrangements. Say, for example, we want to
find out in how many ways can we arrange 8 trees around a circular garden, which is given by
(n-1)!
Example page 171

10. How many words can be made from rearrangements of the word BANANA?

Example:
How many different ways can 3 students line up to purchase a new textbook
reader?

Solution:
N -factorial gives the number of permutations of n items.
n! = n(n - 1)(n - 2)(n - 3) … (3)(2)(1)

Permutations of n items taken r at a time.

P(n,r) represents the number of permutations of n items r at a time.
P(n,r) = n!/(n - r)!

Examples:
1.Find P(7,3) and P(15,5)

2.If a class has 28 students, how many different arrangements can 5 students give a
presentation to the class?

3. How many ways can the letters of the word PHOENIX be arranged?
