You need to arrange tenten of your favorite books along a small shelf. how many different ways can you arrange the? books, assuming that the order of the books makes a difference to? you

3,682,800 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

A permutation is the variation of the order or position of the elements of an ordered set.

Basically, if order doesn't matter, we talk about a combination. If order matters, it's about permutation.

In other words: A permutation is an orderly combination.

There are two types of permutations:

  Repeat is allowed: as a lock combination, it could be "333".

   Without repetition: for example the first three in a race. You cannot stay first and second at the same time.

In this case, factor notation is used, multiplying descending numbers.

10! = 10x9x8x7x6x5x4x3x2x1 = 3,682,800 ways

definitely a. the others have almost all data points on one side of the line.

step-by-step explanation:

there are infinitely many solutions.
