Solution and Explanation
There are 8 different letters in the word EQUATION.
Therefore, the number of words that can be formed using all the letters of the word EQUATION, using each letter exactly once, is the number of permutations of 8 different objects taken 8 at a time, which is \(^8P_8=8!\)
Thus, required number of words that can be formed =\( 8! = 40320\)

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.
