Permutations Combinations Pascal’s triangle Binomial Theorem
Permutations • These are arrangements in which the order matters. • Consider three letters a, b, c. • How many arrangements of these three letters can be made using each once? • There are six possible arrangements of three letters: abc acb bac bca cab cba = 6 permutations P = 3 2 1 = 6 3 3
Permutations • How many arrangements of two letters can be made from three letters? ab ac ba bc ca cb = 6 permutations • How many arrangements of one letter can be made from three letters? a b c = 3 permutations P = 3 2 = 6 3 2 P = 3 3 1
Permutations How many arrangements of five letters can be made from the letters in the word FIRST? F 5 I 4 R 3 2 S T 1 P = 5 4 3 2 1 = 120 5 5
Combinations • These are groups of things where order does not matter. • Consider three letters a, b, c. How many combinations of three letters can be made taking each once? • There is only 1, abc = 1 combination 3 C = 1 3
Combinations • How many combinations of two letters can be made from three letters? • ab, ac, bc = 3 combinations • How many combinations of one letter can be made from three letters? • a, b, c = 3 combinations 3 C = 3 2 3 C = 3 1
