Answer:

There are 524,560 ways that the committee can be appointed.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 9 different positions, a president, 3 officers and five committee members.

So

P - O1 - O2 - O3 - C1 - C2 - C3 - C4 - C5

There are 17 candidates, any of them can be president. So P = 17.

All of the others can be an officers. So O1 = 16, O2 = 15(17 subtracted by the president and O1), O3 = 14.

The officers can be committee members, so, C1 = 16, C2 = 15, C3 = 14, C4 = 13, C5 = 12.

How many different ways can the committee be appointed?

This is the sequence C1...C5:

$N = 16*15*14*13*12 = 524,560$

There are 524,560 ways that the committee can be appointed.

Determine formula of the nth term 2, 6, 12 20 30,42

nalin [4]

Check the forward differences of the sequence.

If $\{a_n\} = \{2,6,12,20,30,42,\ldots\}$ , then let $\{b_n\}$ be the sequence of first-order differences of $\{a_n\}$ . That is, for n ≥ 1,

$b_n = a_{n+1} - a_n$

so that $\{b_n\} = \{4, 6, 8, 10, 12, \ldots\}$ .

Let $\{c_n\}$ be the sequence of differences of $\{b_n\}$ ,

$c_n = b_{n+1} - b_n$

and we see that this is a constant sequence, $\{c_n\} = \{2, 2, 2, 2, \ldots\}$ . In other words, $\{b_n\}$ is an arithmetic sequence with common difference between terms of 2. That is,

$2 = b_{n+1} - b_n \implies b_{n+1} = b_n + 2$

and we can solve for $b_n$ in terms of $b_1=4$ :

$b_{n+1} = b_n + 2$

$b_{n+1} = (b_{n-1}+2) + 2 = b_{n-1} + 2\times2$

$b_{n+1} = (b_{n-2}+2) + 2\times2 = b_{n-2} + 3\times2$

and so on down to

$b_{n+1} = b_1 + 2n \implies b_{n+1} = 2n + 4 \implies b_n = 2(n-1)+4 = 2(n + 1)$

We solve for $a_n$ in the same way.

$2(n+1) = a_{n+1} - a_n \implies a_{n+1} = a_n + 2(n + 1)$

Then

$a_{n+1} = (a_{n-1} + 2n) + 2(n+1) \\ ~~~~~~~= a_{n-1} + 2 ((n+1) + n)$

$a_{n+1} = (a_{n-2} + 2(n-1)) + 2((n+1)+n) \\ ~~~~~~~ = a_{n-2} + 2 ((n+1) + n + (n-1))$

$a_{n+1} = (a_{n-3} + 2(n-2)) + 2((n+1)+n+(n-1)) \\ ~~~~~~~= a_{n-3} + 2 ((n+1) + n + (n-1) + (n-2))$

and so on down to

$a_{n+1} = a_1 + 2 \displaystyle \sum_{k=2}^{n+1} k = 2 + 2 \times \frac{n(n+3)}2$

$\implies a_{n+1} = n^2 + 3n + 2 \implies \boxed{a_n = n^2 + n}$
