Whether you're in an Algebra class or advanced Calculus class, the procedure for calculating permutations with your graphing calculator is the same. Basically, you should be able to calculate any given permutation through your graphing calculator's math probability menu, which can be found by pressing the "Math" key on your graphing calculator. So, next time you're wondering how to calculate permutations, you should have no trouble doing so when you perform the following steps.
Instructions
1. Enter the number of objects in your problem (referred to as "n") into your graphing calculator.
2. Press the "Math" key on your graphing calculator. You will see a numbered list with options such as rand, nPr and nCr.
3. Use the arrow key to highlight the selection that says nPr and press Enter.
4. Enter the number of objects to be taken at a single time (referred to as "r"). After inputting this number, you will have the permutations for the problem nPr.
