challenge 1-B homework question
Recall that the notation $\displaystyle \binom{n}{k}$ (which you read as "n choose k") is for combinations. The formula is $$\binom{n}{k} = \frac{n!}{k!\times (n-k)!}.$$ Combinations are used for choosing objects without order. (Permutations are when there is order.)
