Answer

$_{11}P_9=19,958,400$

Work Step by Step

Using $ _nP_r=\dfrac{n!}{(n-r)!} $ or the Permutation of $n$ taken $r,$ then \begin{align*}\require{cancel} _{11}P_9&= \dfrac{11!}{(11-9)!} \\\\&= \dfrac{11!}{2!} \\\\&= \dfrac{11(10)(9)(8)(7)(6)(5)(5)(4)(3)(2!)}{2!} \\\\&= \dfrac{11(10)(9)(8)(7)(6)(5)(5)(4)(3)(\cancel{2!})}{\cancel{2!}} \\\\&= 11(10)(9)(8)(7)(6)(5)(5)(4)(3) \\&= 19958400 \end{align*} Hence $ _{11}P_9=19,958,400 .$
