objects taken at
r time
LESSON OBJECTIVES

a. Formulate the number of permutation


of n objects taken r at a time.
b. Find the number of permutation of n
objects taken at a time.
c. Appreciate permutations as a vital
part of one’s life.
ACTIVITY 1:
THINK-PAIR-SHARE

Answer the following with your seatmate.


1. You have 3 shirts and 4 pants. How
many possible outfits can you have?
2. There are 6 flavors of ice-cream, and 3
different cones in a grocery store. How many
orders of ice cream can you make?
ACTIVITY 2: AM I
IMPORTANT?
Direction: determine if in doing the
activity or task below, arrangement or
order of selecting the objects is
important. Write I if it is important, and
N if it is not.

how many possible ways can
they be arranged as first,

A permutation is an arrangement of things in a definite order or
the ordered arrangement of distinguishable objects without
allowing repetitions among the objects.

In general, if n is a positive integer, then n factorial


denoted by n! is the product of all integers less than or
equal to n.
EXAMPLE 1:
Compute:
n P r – the number of
permutations that can be
made with n things taken
r at a time
FORMULA:
The number of
permutations of n things
taken n at a time is given
𝑛𝑃𝑛=𝑛!
by:
