Argue that there are exactly solutions of for which exactly of the are equal to .
From a group of people, suppose that we want to choose a committee of k, , one of whom is to be designated as chairperson.
(a) By focusing first on the choice of the committee and then on the choice of the chair, argue that there are role="math" localid="1647945358534" possible choices.
(b) By focusing first on the choice of the non-chair committee members and then on the choice of the chair, argue that there are role="math" localid="1647945372759" possible choices.
(c) By focusing first on the choice of the chair and then on the choice of the other committee members, argue that
there are role="math" localid="1647945385288" possible choices.
(d) Conclude from parts (a), (b), and (c) that role="math" localid="1647945400273" .
(e) Use the factorial definition of to verify the identity in part (d).
