1) This is a combination, so use ⁴⁰C₂.
     ⁴⁰C₂ = 780
     There are 780 handshakes in total.

2) I got my solution by using the combinations formula. Or another way you              could do this is to add up... 39 + 38 + 37 + 36 + 35 + 34 + 33 + 32 + 31... +1.          You will end up with 780 (I did this to double check my work).

3) The quickest way to figure this out if Drake invited 1,000 people is to use the       natural numbers formula = n(n+ 1)/2.
     Plug the numbers in: 999(1000)/2 = 499,500 
     If Drake invited 1,000 people, there would be 499,500 handshakes.
