<h3>Answer: 680 different combinations</h3>
=======================================================
Explanation:
If order mattered, then we'd have 17*16*15 = 4080 different permutations. Notice how I started with 17 and counted down 1 at a a time until I had 3 slots to fill. We count down by 1 because each time we pick someone, we can't pick them again.
So we have 4080 different ways to pick 3 people if order mattered. But again order doesn't matter. All that counts is the group itself rather than the individual or how they rank. There are 3*2*1 = 6 ways to order any group of three people, which means there are 4080/6 = 680 different combinations possible.
An alternative is to use the nCr formula with n = 17 and r = 3. That formula is

Answer:
and a₁ =30000 for n = 2,3,4,5,6, ......
Step-by-step explanation:
Doug has joined a job with a starting salary of $30000 per year.
Hence, if a₁ is the salary of Doug in the first year, then
a₁ =30000
Now, each year Doug will receive a raise of $3000 in his salary.
Hence, in the 2nd year, his salary(a₂) will become ( a₁ +3000) per year.
Again, in the 3rd year, his salary(a₃) will become ( a₂ +3000) per year.
Therefor, in the similar manner the recursive formula for his salary in each year will be given as and a₁ =30000 for n = 2,3,4,5,6, ...... {aₙ is the yearly salary of Doug in the nth year} (Answer)
