Evaluate.\newline4P2=______4P_2 = \_\_\_\_\_

Full solution

Q. Evaluate.\newline4P2=______4P_2 = \_\_\_\_\_
  1. Identify Permutation Formula: Identify the permutation formula for 4P24P2. \newlineSubstitute 44 for nn and 22 for rr in the formula.\newline4P2=n!(nr)!4P2 = \frac{n!}{(n - r)!}\newline4P2=4!(42)!4P2 = \frac{4!}{(4 - 2)!}
  2. Substitute Values: Calculate the factorial values and simplify the expression.\newline4P2=4!(42)!4P2 = \frac{4!}{(4 - 2)!}\newline4P2=4!2!4P2 = \frac{4!}{2!}\newline4P2=(4×3×2×1)(2×1)4P2 = \frac{(4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1)}{(2 \times 1)}
  3. Calculate Factorials: Cancel out the common terms in the numerator and the denominator.\newline4P2=4×3×2×12×14P2 = \frac{4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}{2 \times 1}\newline4P2=4×314P2 = \frac{4 \times 3}{1}\newline4P2=124P2 = 12
