Welcome to our blog. This space is designed for students of the Maples Collegiate, attending the Pre-Calculus 40S class, section D, with Mr.P. We are going to use this space to discuss our daily lessons, ask questions you didn't get a chance to ask in class, and to share your knowledge with other students. Most importantly we will use this blog to reflect on what we're learning.
Have a great semester.
Today in class we learned about "The Fundamental Counting Principal," and "Factorial Notation."
ReplyDeleteFor Fundamental Principal, Mr. Piatek showed us 2 ways of getting to the answer.
-tree diagram for smaller numbers (helpful for students who are more visual)
-multiplication (to get answers for big numbers)
For Factorial Notation, Mr. Piatek made it very clear to the class how Exclamation mark works. Example- (n-1)(n-2)(n-3)! can be said as (n-1)! as they both have ! at the end.
