Activity 2: FACTORIAL NOTATION Evaluate each of the following. Examples: 1. 7! = 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 5,040 2. $\frac{10!}{8!} = \frac{10 \times 9 \times 8!}{8!} = 90$ 1. 2! 2. 4! 3. (11 - 8)! 4. 6!3! 5. $\frac{12!}{10!}$ Remember: • n! = n(n-1)(n-2)...(3)(2)(1), where n is a positive integer. • 0! = 1 • n! is read as "n factorial".

          Activity 2: FACTORIAL NOTATION
Evaluate each of the following.
Examples:
1. 7! = 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 5,040
2. $\frac{10!}{8!} = \frac{10 \times 9 \times 8!}{8!} = 90$
1. 2!
2. 4!
3. (11 - 8)!
4. 6!3!
5. $\frac{12!}{10!}$
Remember:
• n! = n(n-1)(n-2)...(3)(2)(1),
where n is a positive
integer.
• 0! = 1
• n! is read as "n factorial".

Evaluate each of the following.
Examples:
1. 7! = 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 5,040
2. (10!)/(8!) = (10 × 9 × 8!)/(8!) = 90
1. 2!
2. 4!
3. (11 - 8)!
4. 6!3!
5. (12!)/(10!)
Remember:
• n! = n(n-1)(n-2)...(3)(2)(1),
where n is a positive

Step 1

So, 7! = 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 5,040. For the second example, 10!, we start with 10 and multiply it by every positive integer less than 10 down to 1. So, 10! = 10 x 9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 3,628,800. For the third example, 2^4, we start with 2 Show more…
