Need some help!!!!

post #1 of 15
Thread Starter 
Ok, I had to go out of town for a funeral and I missed 2 weeks of school. My math teacher was nice enough to give me the test to take home BUT Im lost. Can anyone help me with this?

Okay, the factorial (the exclamation mark) means you multiply the number by each whole number down to 1. For example, 4! = 4 times 3 times 2 times 1

The C stands for combination, which means how many groups of a certain amount could you pick from the whole group. For example, if you have 3 books in a bag, and you grab 2, there are three combinations of 2 that you could grab. (1 and 2, 1 and 3, and 2 and 3, if you name them with numbers)

The P stands for permutation, which is just like a combination except that the order matters. So grabbing book 1 and then book 2 out of the bag would count as different than grabbing 2 and then 1.

Both of these have formulas, which you can find in your textbook or on wikipedia or whatever (I'll edit them in in a minute.)

edit: this seems like a pretty good site - http://www.andrews.edu/~calkins/math...xts/prod02.htm

Sorry, guys, I know these jokes would be funnier if I hadn't started the thread off with some sincere help.

Amphibatron's would have been perfect if he wrote in a tiny corner, RON PAUL 4 EVA.

As it is, it's merely brilliant.

I got my test back. The teacher wasn't pleased.

Amphibatron, you just in essence recreated every scrap of paper I ever had my hands on in school - loose-leaf to provincial exam scantron.

Amazing.

That side margin with the holes was doodle gold in high school.
