William is organizing textbooks on his bookshelf. He has an English textbook, a
biology textbook, a history textbook, and a health textbook. How many different ways
can he line the textbooks up on his bookshelf?

Respuesta :

Using the arrangements formula, it is found that he can line the books up on his bookshelf in 24 ways.

The number of possible arrangements of a set of n elements is given by the factorial of n, that is:

[tex]A_n = n![/tex]

In this problem, he is going to arrange 4 books(English, biology, history and health), hence [tex]n = 4[/tex] and:

[tex]A_4 = 4! = 24[/tex]

He can line the books up on his bookshelf in 24 ways.
