Need Help! Its a combination problem.5

OpenStudy (firekat97):

I don't think your factorial equation is right... follow this format \[\frac{ n! }{ k! (n-k)! }\] and try simplifying now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

15! / 15! (5-15)!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

On my notes it says nCk = n!/(n-k)! k! so id rather do it that way :) but it would still be the same way right?

OpenStudy (firekat97):

Wait actually

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I wrote the wrong number.. I just need to figure out how to simplify 15C5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its supposed to be 3003 but idk how? I can do it from a calculator, but on a quiz i need to be able to show my work

OpenStudy (firekat97):

You would get 15!/ 15!. -10! that way and I don't think you should have a negative factorial

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 15!/10! 5!

OpenStudy (firekat97):

yup thats right
