Answer:
The members of the cabinet can be appointed in 121,080,960 different ways.
Step-by-step explanation:
The rank is important(matters), which means that the order in which the candidates are chosen is important. That is, if we exchange the position of two candidates, it is a new outcome. So we use the permutations formula to solve this quesiton.
Permutations formula:
The number of possible permutations of x elements from a set of n elements is given by the following formula:

If there are 14 eligible candidates for these positions (where rank matters), how many different ways can the members of the cabinet be appointed?
Permutations of 8 from a set of 14. So

The members of the cabinet can be appointed in 121,080,960 different ways.

Answer: Option A

Step-by-step explanation:
In the graph we have a piecewise function composed of a parabola and a line.
The parabola has the vertex in the point (0, 2) and cuts the y-axis in y = 2.
The equation of this parabola is
Then we have an equation line
Note that the interval in which the parabola is defined is from -∞ to x = 1. Note that the parabola does not include the point x = 1 because it is marked with an empty circle " о ."
(this is
)
Then the equation of the line goes from x = 1 to ∞ . In this case, the line includes x = 1 because the point at the end of the line is represented by a full circle
.
(this is
)
Then the function is:
