A teacher has 30 students in a classroom. She has 6 seats in the front row. How many ways can she arrange her students to sit in the front row?

Respuesta :

Answer:

427,518,000  ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

-This is a permutation problem of the form:

[tex]P(n,r)=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}[/tex]

Where n is the number of objects and r is the number of objects taken at a time.

-Permutation is a linear order or sequence arrangement of a set's elements.

-The number of ways can therefore be calculated as:

[tex]P(n,r)=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}\\\\\\=\frac{30!}{(30-0)!}\\\\\\=427,518,000[/tex]

Hence, the 30 students can be arranged in 427,518,000 different ways.
