Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The expanded value of n! is (n) * (n - 1) * (n - 2) until we reach one.
Given:
4! - ((11-2)!) / 8!)
Rewrite:
[tex]\displaystyle 4! - \frac{(11-2)!}{8!}[/tex]
Subtract:
[tex]\displaystyle 4! - \frac{9!}{8!}[/tex]
Expand:
[tex]\displaystyle 4*3*2*1 - \frac{9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1}{8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1}[/tex]
Cancel out values that equal one in the fraction:
[tex]\displaystyle 4*3*2*1 - \frac{9}{1}[/tex]
Multiply:
[tex]\displaystyle 24 - \frac{9}{1}[/tex]
Simplify:
24 - 9
Subtract:
15
