! Factorial

See that the number of permutations of 3 items is
$3\ \cdot\ 2\ \cdot\ 1$
Extend this to $n\ \cdot\ \left(n-1\right)\ \cdot\ \left(n-2\right)\ \cdot...\ \cdot1$
This is called $n\ factorial$ and is written as n!

Permutations

We can use factorials to find possible permutations, which leads to a formula
Useful for large numbers
Divide total number of arrangements by the number of arrangements not used

Poll

How many ways can a stylist arrange 5 of 8 vases from left to right in a store display? [Before solving this, how do we set up the equation?]

$\frac{8!}{\left(5!\right)}$

$\frac{8!}{\left(8-5\right)!}$

\frac{8!}{\left(8-5\right)!}

How many ways can a stylist arrange 5 of 8 vases from left to right in a store display?

The total number is 8, so use 8! for the numerator.

The amount not used is (8-5), so use (8-5)! for the denominator.
