You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You are looking for the number of permutations of 4 things (MATH) taken 4 at-a-time.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"nPr+=+%28n%21%29%2F%28n-r%29%21\" but in this problem, r = n = 4
\n" ); document.write( "\"4P4+=+%284%21%29%2F%284-4%29%21\" (4-4)! = 0! = 1
\n" ); document.write( "\"4P4+=+4%21\" = 4*3*2*1 = 24
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
