Work Step by Step

Use the formula of permutation: $_{n}$P$_{r}$=$\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}$. Plug in 5 for N and 2 for R: $_{n}$P$_{r}$=$\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}$ $_{5}$P$_{2}$=$\frac{5!}{(5-2)!}$ -simplify like terms- $_{5}$P$_{2}$=$\frac{5!}{3!}$ -write using factorial- $_{5}$P$_{2}$=$\frac{5*4*3*2*1}{3*2*1}$ -simplify- $_{5}$P$_{2}$=20
