State if the scenario involves a permutation or a combination. Then find the number of possibilities. The student body of 290 students wants to elect a president and vice president.

Permutation/Combination:

Permutation. ; 83810 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Permutation and combination methods refers to mathematical solution to finding the number of ways of making selection for a group of objects.

Usually, selection process whereby the order of selection does not matter are being treated using permutation, while those which takes the order of selection into cognizance are calculated using combination.

Here, selecting 2 members (president and vice president) from 290 ; since order of arrangement does not matter, we use permutation ;

Recall :

nPr = n! ÷ (n - r)!

Hence,

290P2 = 290! ÷ (290 - 2)!

290P2 = 290! ÷ 288!

290P2 = (290 * 289) = 83810 ways

step-by-step explanation:

in the absence of parentheses, i will have to make some assumptions:   i interpret your (3x+5/y^6)(4y^3/5)​ to mean:

3x + 5     4y^(3/5)       (3x + 5)(4)

* =

    y^6             1               y^(6-3/5)

if this is not what you expected, repost your question using parentheses to indicate whether you meant

4y^3

    or   4y^(3/5)
