210\text{210}

Step-by-step solution

5 steps

The problem is to calculate the permutation 7P3^7P_3.

  1. Recall the permutation formula.

    The formula for permutations is given by:

    nPr=n!(n−r)!^nP_r = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!}

    In this problem, n=7n=7 and r=3r=3.

  2. Substitute the values into the formula.

    Substitute n=7n=7 and r=3r=3 into the formula:

    7P3=7!(7−3)!^7P_3 = \frac{7!}{(7-3)!}
  3. Simplify the denominator.

    Subtract the numbers in the parenthesis:

    7P3=7!4!^7P_3 = \frac{7!}{4!}
  4. Expand the factorials.

    Recall that n!=n×(n−1)×(n−2)×⋯×1n! = n \times (n-1) \times (n-2) \times \dots \times 1.
    Expand 7!7! until 4!4! to simplify the expression:

    7P3=7×6×5×4×3×2×14×3×2×1=7×6×5×4!4!^7P_3 = \frac{7 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}{4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1} = \frac{7 \times 6 \times 5 \times 4!}{4!}
  5. Cancel out the common factorial and multiply.

    Cancel 4!4! from the numerator and the denominator:

    7P3=7×6×5^7P_3 = 7 \times 6 \times 5 7P3=42×5^7P_3 = 42 \times 5 7P3=210^7P_3 = 210

    The final answer is 210\text{210}.
