In an attempt to clean up your room, you have purchased a new floating shelf to put some of your 17 books you have stacked in a corner. These books are all by different authors. The new book shelf is large enough to hold 10 of the books. (a) How many ways can you select and arrange 10 of the 17 books on the shelf? Notice that here we will allow the books to end up in any order. Explain. (b) How many ways can you arrange 10 of the 17 books on the shelf if you insist they must be arranged alphabetically by author? Explain. 6. How many triangles are there with vertices from the points shown below? Note, we are not allowing degenerate triangles - ones with all three vertices on the same line, but we do allow non-right triangles. Explain why your answer is correct. 14. We have seen that the formula for Pln,k) is Your task here is to explain why this is the right formula. (a) Suppose you have 12 chips, each a different color. How many different stacks of 5 chips can you make? Explain your answer and why it is the same as using the formula for P(12,5). (b) Using the scenario of the 12 chips again, what does 12! count? What does 7! count? Explain. (c) Explain why it makes sense to divide 12! by 7! when computing P(12,5) (in terms of the chips). (d) Does your explanation work for numbers other than 12 and 5? Explain the formula P(n,k) = using the variables n and k.
