I will explain why it is a permutation because I believe you need to understand the concept (something that the teacher is supposed to help you with).  I will not give you the answer or any method of finding the answer.  It is a permutation because the order in which the officers chosen matter.  There can only be one president, vice-president, and secretary.  The way that they are chosen is unique and cannot be changed.
