The unt informs club has 16 members. they need to elect a president, a vice president, a secretary and a treasurer. how many different ways can this group of 4 officers be formed? (order is important)
If they needed to elect just the president there could be 16 possible combination. If they needed to elect the president and the vice there could be 16×15 possible combination, because each president could have 15 possible vice. So the possible combination are 16×15×14×13=43 680.
