how many ways can 6 specific unique symbols be arranged?
Answer
# Explanation:
## Step1: Recall permutation formula
The number of permutations of \(n\) distinct objects is \(n!\). Here \(n = 6\).
## Step2: Calculate factorial
\(n!=n\times(n - 1)\times\cdots\times1\), so \(6!=6\times5\times4\times3\times2\times1\).
\(6\times5 = 30\), \(30\times4=120\), \(120\times3 = 360\), \(360\times2=720\), \(720\times1 = 720\).
# Answer:
720
