5. Factorial Notation

Definition: reveal
n! = n•(n-1)•(n-2)•(n-3)• ......•3•2•1
0! = 1
Examples:
4! = 4•3•2•1
4! = 24
On the calculator:
Examples: [MATH] [<] [4]
6! = 6•5•4•3•2•1
6! = 720

6. Combinations (the "Choose" Formula)
A combination is arrangement of objects where order does not matter.

r is the number of objects
that are being arranged.

7. Rhonda lives 5 km from Morris in a
SW direction. Travis lives 5 km SW
of Thompson. Are the two vector
quantities equal? Explain.

8. What happens when the base of an exponential function is negative?
x
ƒ(x) = (-2) co-creating
notes
ƒ(x) = (-2) x ≠ ƒ(x) = -2 x

9. The Triangle Method ...
We use the triangle method when the vectors are arranged tip-to-tail.

Remember, we use measurements with a ruler and protractor to find
the "answers."

10. A large black ant pulls a breadcrumb N32°E with a force of 0.03 N.
A small red ant pulls with a 0.045 N force in the direction E5°S.
Determine the magnitude and direction of the resultant force.
