If P(10,R) = 90, What Is R?
If p(10,r) = 90, what is r?
Answer:
r = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
P (n, r) = n!/(n-r)!
Given:
P(10,r) = 90
Where:
n = 10
r = Unknown
Solve for r:
10!/(10-r)! = 90
Cross-multiply:
10!/90 = (10-r)!
10×9×8×7×6×5×4×3×2×1/90 = (10-r)!
3,628,800/90 = (10-r)!
40,320 = (10 - r)!
8! = 10! - r!
r = 10 - 8
r = 2
Check:
P(10, 2) = 90
10!/(10-2)! = 90
10!/8! = 90
10 × 9 ×8×7×6×5×4×3×2×1/8×7×6×5×4×3×2×1 = 90
10 × 9 = 90
90 = 90 (True)
