PERMUTATION
is the arrangement of objects in
a definite order
Group Activity: 10mins
Directions: Choose 5 distinct objects from your bag. Lay
down the objects in a row.
A. Use one object first. In how many ways can that object
be arranged in a row?
B. Use 2 objects. In how many ways can the two objects
be arranged in a row?
C. Use 3 objects. In how many ways can the three objects
be arranged in a row?
D. Use 4 objects. In how many ways can the four objects
be arranged in a row?
E. Use 5 objects. In how many ways can the five objects
be arranged in a row?

 A math meme that is actually
funny rather than stupid:

Solve carefully!
230 – 220 x 0.5 = __________

You probably won’t believe it but

the answer is 5!
 Factorial Notation: n !
- it is the product of n and all
the positive integers less than it

n !  n(n  1)(n  2)(n  3)...(3)(2)(1)

“PROMISE” be arranged?
3. In how many ways can 7 students line up in
the canteen?

Permutation of Like Objects
If n is the total number of objects and
k’s are the number of elements for the
disjoint subsets of n, such that
n  k1  k2  ...  kn
the Permutation of Like Objects is given by
the formula
n!
P
(k1 !)(k2 !)(k3 !)...
