Answer:

-n = 3

n = -3

rewona [7]

Answer:

4032 different tickets are possible.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : At a race track you have the opportunity to buy a ticket that requires you to pick the first and second place horses in the first two races. If the first race runs 9 horses and the second runs 8.

To find : How many different tickets are possible ?

Solution :

In the first race there are 9 ways to pick the winner for first and second place.

Number of ways for first place - ^9C_1=9

Number of ways for second place - ^8C_1=8

In the second race there are 8 ways to pick the winner for first and second place.

Number of ways for first place - ^8C_1=8

Number of ways for second place - ^7C_1=7

Total number of different tickets are possible is

n=9\times 8\times 8\times 7

n=4032

Therefore, 4032 different tickets are possible.
