Life is full of 

permutations and combinations. Sometimes

the order you do things matter sometimes it doesn't, but in

 REVIEW ABOUT FACTORIAL
⬡ is the product of all positive integers less than or equal to the
number preceding the factorial sign.

⬡  The factorial function (symbol: !) says to multiply all whole

numbers from our chosen number down to 1
Examples:

1! = 1
2!= 2 × 1= 2
3!= 3 × 2 × 1= 6
4 = 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 24
5!= 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 120
Remember 0! = 1
6!= 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 720
 WHAT IS PERMUTATION?
• A permutation is a mathematical technique that determines the number
of possible arrangements in a set when the order of the arrangements
matters.

"The combination to the safe is

472". We do care about the order.
"724" won't work, nor will "247". It
has to be exactly 4-7-2.

So, we should really call this a

"Permutation Lock"!
 FORMULA TO BE USED:
 
=
⬡  
Instead of writing the whole formula other use different notations
such as these:
nPr P(n,r) P=

where
How many ways can you arrange 'r' from a
n = total items in the set; set of 'n' if the order matters?"
r = items taken 
 PERMUTATION WITHOUT REPITION

PROBLEM: There are 9 elected officer for the section Hope. In how many ways can
a president, vice president, secretary and muse can be selected from the elected
officers?
 SOLUTION:

GIVEN:
n= 9 9P4=
r= 4

 FORMULA:  =
=
 =
= 3024 Ways
PERMUTATION WITH REPITITION

⬡ When a thing has n different types ... we have n choices

each time!
⬡ In other words, there are n possibilities for the first choice,
THEN there are n possibilites for the second choice, and so
on, multplying each time.

 So, the formula is simply:  Another formula is simply:

P=
-where the numbers of permutation
-where n is the number of things to
of n things where a things are a like,
choose from,
b things are alike, and c things are
and we choose r of them,
alike and so on…
repetition is allowed,
and order matters.
EXAMPLE:
 EXAMPLE: in the lock, there are 10 numbers to choose from (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) and we
choose 3 of them:

FORMULA: SOLUTION:
10 × 10 ×10 = 103 =
1,000 permutations

 EXAMPLE: Find the number of permutations of the letters of the name ANGELYN.

FORMULA: SOLUTIONS:

P= P= P=

P=
P= 2,520 distinct permutations
 CIRCULAR PERMUTATION
• the number of ways to set up n distinct objects beside a fixed circle.

• consider the roundtable conference,

• making of a necklace with different coloured

beads. These are like arranging the items in a closed loop.

 FORMULA:

P= P= P=(n-1)!
PROBLEM; In how many ways can 3 people A, B, and C be seated around
a circular table.
SOLUTION:
FORMULA:
P= (3-1)!
P=(n-1)!
P= 2!

P= 2 ways

PROBLEM; In how many ways can 7 people be seated at a round table?

FORMULA: SOLUTION:

P=(n-1)! P= (7-1)!
P= 6!

P=720 ways
PROBLEM; In how many ways can 8 different beads be arranged if the
bracelet has no lock?
 FORMULA:  SOLUTION:

P= P=

P= P=
2,520 ways

PROBLEM; In how many ways can 8 different beads be arranged if the

bracelet has a lock?
 SOLUTION:
 FORMULA:
P=
P= 20,160 ways
P=
 ACTIVITY:

1. Evaluate P(9,5)

Answer:15, 120
2. IN How many ways can 3 bikes be arranged on the designated parking lot if there
are 7 available parking spaces?

Answer: 840 possible ways

3. Find the number of permutations of the letters of the word SIMILAR?

Answer: 2, 520 ways

4. In how many ways can 5 people be seated at a round table?

Answer: 24 ways
