Alma's math teacher said that there was 10 factorial (10! ) possible different orders in which the problems on the next exam could be arranged. what does 10! mean?

a- 10^100
b- 10(9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1)
c- 10(9)(8)(7)(6)(5)(4)(3)(2)(1)
d- 10,000,000,000

The 10! means 10 × 9 × 8 × 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 ⇒ answer C

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- Factorial number means a number which is multiply itself to its

 decreasing numbers

- In mathematics, the factorial of a non-negative integer n, denoted by

 n! is the product of all positive integers less than or equal to n

- That means n! = n × (n-1) × (n-2) × (n-3) × × 1

- Ex: 5 ! = 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 120

* Lets solve the problem

- There was 10 factorial 10! possible different orders

- The meaning of 10! is the multiplication of all the numbers from

 10 to 1

∴ 10! = 10 × 9 × 8 × 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1

* The 10! means 10 × 9 × 8 × 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.

sorry

sorry, but im pretty sure its a now that i look at it
