Question 942850: what is the formula for permutation in algebra 1
Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the permutation of n things taken x at a time is equal to n! / (n-x)!

for example:

if n = 3 and x = 2, then the permutation of 3 things taken 2 at a time is equal to 3! / 1! which is equal to 3! which is equal to 3*2 = 6.

if n = 3 and x = 1, then the permutation of 3 things taken 1 at a time is equal to 3! / 2! which is equal to 3.

the permutation of n things taken n at a time is always n!.

for example:

if n = 3 and x = 3, then the permutation of 3 things taken 3 at a time is equal to 3! / 0! which is equal to 3!.

0! is always equal to 1.
