Multiplication Counting Principle

You may be interested in knowing that this particular topic was always taught in 11th or 12th grade. You have the ability to understand how it works and you may find it very helpful when you need to count.

Today's Assignments:

1. Finish all questions in Lesson 2-9.
2. Read Lesson 2-10. You do NOT have to do Covering the Reading.
3. Visit this website and review it carefully!

Hi Mrs. Burke,
I have a correction to make. DTM said that ! means to multiply all previous integers. It actually means all previous integers up to 1.
I reviewed the web site. I bet there's gonna be a quiz on that material tomorrow!

Hey Mrs. Burke,
I just went to the website and i do not get why 0! equals 1. I got the homework and i am doing it now. See you tomorrow.

Mrs. Burke-- I understand n!. At first I didn't, but by the end of the power point I did.

Hi I just looked at the website and am not totally sure on the very last question. I like the first ones though because they remind me of patterns. I like patterns. Thanks.

Hi Mrs. Burke,
My Internet just came up again. We'll see how long it lasts this time. I went to the website and thought that it was very interesting. On a fun math sheet last year, we had some problems dealing with permutations, but that's not what the were called on the sheet. I got the permutation problems completely wrong last year because I did not know what I was doing. Now I know what to do! :)

I also did not understand how 0! equals 1.

Hi! I understand the powerpoint and will see you in class tomorrow. The one thing I did not understand is how 0! is equal to 1. I noticed that it said theorem on the last page. Does that mean that it is not proven? If so, I wonder what the counterexample is.

Hi Mrs. Burke,
I didn't see it say that 0! equals 1 in the text book or the powerpoint presentation. However, person 52 brought up a good point. It has not been proven yet, has it. Well, I have a counterexample. The counterexample is 0. 0! can not work because 1 is after 0, not before 0. Therefore, 0! can not exist. Is 0! an imaginary number? Is this correct?
This is so interesting!
Who decided the form of writing? Why an exclamation point?
See you tomorrow on HALLOWEEN!!!!!! :) :) :) :) :) (pretend there is a repetend sign on the smileys).

I also agree with dylen that if you forget to write the assignment, we do not have to do it. :)

Hey Mrs. Burke!
At first I went to the website without reading 2-10 and I didn't understand anything. But now after reading the lesson, the website makes a lot more sense. Did you create that powerpoint, because the problems on the website are almost all of the same problems as the ones in the book?
See you tomorrow!

Ms. Gallow said that we will be taking a test during math tomorrow. Does that mean we don't have math class? Will the test be moved back? See you tomorrow, Patrick.

Hi Mrs. Burke,
do we have math class tomorrow because of the science test?

I know we are having Math tomorrow because you said so earlier, but how long will we have math for. Will, we get another study guide?
