Answer

$151,200$

Work Step by Step

Recall: $P(n, k)=\dfrac{n!}{(n-k)!}$ . Hence, \begin{align*} \require{cancel} P(10, 6)&=\dfrac{10!}{(10-6)!}\\ \\ &=\dfrac{10!}{4!}\\ \\ &=\dfrac{10\cdot9\cdot8\cdot7\cdot6\cdot5\cdot4\cdot3\cdot2\cdot1}{4\cdot3\cdot2\cdot1}\\\ \\ &=\dfrac{10\cdot9\cdot8\cdot7\cdot6\cdot5\cdot\cancel{4\cdot3\cdot2\cdot1}}{\cancel{4\cdot3\cdot2\cdot1}}\\\ \\ &=10\cdot9\cdot8\cdot7\cdot6\cdot5\\& \\ &=151200 \end{align*}
