what is 8P3
If you mean this..
8!/(8-3)!= 8*7*6= 336
yeah
CoRrEcT!!!!!
To find the value of 8P3, you need to understand permutations. Permutations refer to the number of ways you can arrange or select objects from a set, where the order matters and each object can only be selected once.
The formula to calculate permutations is given by nPr = n! / (n - r)!, where n is the total number of objects and r is the number of objects selected or arranged.
In the case of 8P3, we have a total of 8 objects, and we want to select and arrange 3 of them. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
8P3 = 8! / (8 - 3)!
= 8! / 5!
Now, let's solve this step by step:
1. Calculate the factorial of 8 (8!):
8! = 8 × 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1
= 40,320
2. Calculate the factorial of 5 (5!):
5! = 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1
= 120
3. Divide the value of 8! by the value of 5!:
8! / 5! = 40,320 / 120
= 336
Therefore, 8P3 (the number of ways to arrange 3 objects selected from a set of 8) is equal to 336.
