The Teknomite Corporation must appoint a president, chief executive officer (CEO), a chief operating officer (COO). It must also appoint a planning Committee with three different members. There are eight qualified candidates, and officers can also serve on the committee. How many ways can the officers be appointed? How many different ways can the committee be appointed?

336 ways ;

56 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of ways to have the officers :

Number of qualified candidates, n = 8

Number of officer positions to be filled = 3

A.)

Using permutation (since the ordering matters):

nPr = n! ÷(n-r)!

8P3 = 8! ÷ (8-3)!

8P3 = 8! ÷ 5!

8P3 = (8*7*6)

8P3 = 336 ways

B.) Different ways of appointing committee: (ordering doesn't count as officers can also be appointed)

Using the combination relation :

nPr = n! ÷(n-r)!r!

8C3 = 8! ÷ (8-3)! 3!

8C3 = 8! ÷ 5!3!

8C3 = (8*7*6) ÷ (3*2*1)

8C3 = 336 / 6

8C3 = 56 ways

i can you with this sweetie!

step-by-step explanation:

the answer is:

the answer is:

to solve the problem, we need to remember the quotient of power property, it's defined by the following relation:

if we have a quotienf of powers that have the same base, we need to keep the same base and subtract the exponent of the denominator power to the exponent of the numerator power.

so, we are given the expression:

then, calculating we have:

hence, the answer is:

have a nice day!
