Answer: 8648640 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of positions = 7

Number of eligible candidates = 13

This can be done by solving the question using the combination Formula for selection in which we use the combination formula to choose 7 candidates amomg the possible 13.

The combination Formula is denoted as:

nCr = n! / (n-r)! * r!

Where n = total number of possible options.

r = number of options to be selected.

Hence, selecting 7 candidates from 13 becomes:

13C7 = 13! / (13-7)! * 7!

13C7 = 1716.

Considering the order they can come in, they can come in 7! Orders. We multiply this order by the earlier answer we calculated. This give: 1716 * 7! = 8648640

What is the quotient in simplified form ? Need help please
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

  -\dfrac{4a^{12}b^8}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

The applicable rules of exponents are ...

  \dfrac{1}{a^{-b}}=a^b\\\\a^ba^c=a^{b+c}

Your ratio simplifies to ...

  \dfrac{-8a^8b^{-2}}{10a^{-4}b^{-10}}=-\dfrac{4}{5}a^{8-(-4)}b^{-2-(-10)}\\\\=-\dfrac{4a^{12}b^8}{5}

_____

Please note that simplifying the constants, -8/10 to -4/5, eliminates half the answer choices. Since exponents are only multiplied when a power is raised to a power, you can pretty much eliminate the second choice as being unreasonable. ((a^b)^c = a^(bc))
