Quadratic Equations and Permutations

The video tutorial explains a mathematical problem involving permutations, specifically the NPR formula. It starts with the problem statement and demonstrates how to apply the NPR formula to simplify the equation. The tutorial then derives a quadratic equation and solves it to find the possible values of R. Finally, it determines the valid value of R based on the constraints given in the problem.

What is the initial equation given in the problem involving permutations?

• 5 times 4Pr = 6 times 5P(R+1)

• 5 times 4P2 = 6 times 5P1

• 5 times 4P2 = 6 times 5P3

• 5 times 4Pr = 6 times 5P(R-1)

How is the permutation formula expressed?

• nPr = n! / (n+r)!

• nPr = n! / (n-r)! r!

• nPr = n! / r!

• nPr = n! / (n-r)!

What is the result of simplifying the permutation expressions?

• 5 - r = 6R

• 6 - r = 6R

• 5 = 6R

• 6 - r = 5R

What is the quadratic equation derived from the problem?

• R^2 - 17R + 30 = 0

• R^2 - 11R + 30 = 0

• R^2 - 11R - 30 = 0

• R^2 - 17R - 30 = 0

What are the possible values of R obtained from solving the quadratic equation?

• R = 2 and R = 15

• R = 3 and R = 15

• R = 3 and R = 14

• R = 2 and R = 14

Why is R = 15 not a valid solution for the problem?

• R must be less than 4

• R must be greater than 4

• R must be a negative number

• R must be equal to 4
