Wait, seriously?? You want an 8-slice cheese pizza with a different topping on each slice? Write your toppings into each slice the way you want them arranged:
If the positioning of the toppings on the slices doesn’t matter, how many ways can you choose 8 toppings out of the 8 toppings?

12. Permutations!
A permutation is an arrangement of items in a particular order!

13. Permutations!
n! means n factorial, multiplying by every positive integer from 1 to n

14. Example 1!
Trophies!
In how many ways can you arrange six trophies on a shelf?!

15. Example 2!
Dogs!
In how many orders can ten dogs line up to be groomed?!

16. Permutations!
Above, we have been focusing on the order of every object given! We won’t always! The number of permutations of n items of a set arranged r times at a time is nPr
𝑛 𝑃 𝑟 = 𝑛! 𝑛−𝑟 ! for 0≤𝑟≤𝑛

17. Example 3!
Boat Race!
Seven boats enter a race! First, second, and third places will be given to the three fastest boats! How many arrangements of first, second, and third places are possible with seven boats?! With ten boats?!

18. Example 4!
Pizza Slices
Your pizza’s ready! You want to share your custom pizza with 3 friends! The four of you each take one slice! How many possibilities are there for the toppings that all four of you end up eating?! What if there were five of you?!

19. Combinations
A selection r of n total objects in which order does not matter is a combination
𝑛 𝐶 𝑟 = 𝑛! 𝑟! 𝑛−𝑟 ! for 0≤𝑟≤𝑛

20. Example 5
Evaluate the expression.
12 𝐶 3

21. Examples 6 - 7
Evaluate the expressions. 6.
8 𝐶 8 7.
9 𝐶 1

22. Example 8 Book Combinations
A reading list for English class has 20 books on it. In how many ways can you choose four books to read?

23. Example 9 Voting for Class President
Ten students are running for class president. You may vote for as many as three candidates. In how many ways can you vote for three or fewer candidates?

24. Example 10
More Pizza!
You want a thin crust pizza with 3 different toppings. How many different combinations of toppings are possible for your pizza?

25. Example 11
You want 4 different toppings on any type of pizza. How many different pizza combinations are possible?
