This document discusses permutations and provides examples of calculating the number of permutations of objects. It begins with learning objectives about formulating the number of permutations of n objects taken r at a time and finding the number of permutations. It then has students work through examples counting possible outfits and ice cream orders. Later it defines a permutation as an arrangement of distinguishable objects in a definite order without repetition and provides the formula to calculate the number of permutations of n objects taken r at a time as nPr=n!/(n-r)!. It concludes with two examples of using the formula to compute specific permutation values.

Permutation of n
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. 1. Ten runners join a race. In how many possible ways can they be arranged as first, second, and third placers? I 2. If Jun has 12 T-shirts, 6 pairs of pants, and 3 pairs of shoes, how many possibilities can he dress himself up for the day? N 3. Suppose that in a certain association, there are 12 elected members of the Board of Directors. In how many ways can a president, a vice president, a secretary, and a treasurer be selected from the board? I 4. In how many ways can you place 9 different books on a shelf if there is space enough for only 5 books? I 5. A dress-shop owner has 8 new dresses that she wants to display in the window. If the display window has 5 mannequins, in how many ways can she dress them up? N 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: FORMULA: The number of permutations of n things taken r at a time is given where r < n by: EXAMPLE 2:
