LEARNING COMPETENCIES table?

Illustrates the permutation of objects. Abstractions:

Remember:
Derives the formula for finding the number of The number of distinguishable permutations, P, of n objects where p objects
permutations of Distinguishable permutations and Circular are alike, q objects are alike, r objects are alike, and soon, is
Permutations n!
P=
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES: p ! q !r ! . ..
At the end of the lesson, students must be able to: The permutation of n objects arranged in a circle is
