Solution and Explanation
(i) 8! = 1 x 2 x 3 x 4 x 5 x 6 x 7 x 8 = 40320
(ii) 4! = 1 x 2 x 3 x 4 = 24
3! = 1 x 2 x 3 = 6
∴4! - 3! = 24 - 6 = 18

Concepts Used:
Permutations and Combinations
Permutation:
Permutation is the method or the act of arranging members of a set into an order or a sequence.
- In the process of rearranging the numbers, subsets of sets are created to determine all possible arrangement sequences of a single data point.
- A permutation is used in many events of daily life. It is used for a list of data where the data order matters.
Combination:
Combination is the method of forming subsets by selecting data from a larger set in a way that the selection order does not matter.
- Combination refers to the combination of about n things taken k at a time without any repetition.
- The combination is used for a group of data where the order of data does not matter.
