Answer

$362,880$

Work Step by Step

Seating in a row = arrangement. Permutations.$P(n,r)=\displaystyle \frac{n!}{(n-r)!}$. Arranging r=$9$ from n=$9$ people, $ P(9,9)=\displaystyle \frac{9!}{(9-9)!}\qquad$ ... by definition of factorials, $0!=1$ $=9!$ $=9\times 8\times 7\times 6\times 5\times 4\times 3\times 2\times 1$ = $362,880$
