Homework Statement



I am asked "evaluate the following factorials, permutations, and combinations". I am given a series of questions I understand, like P(10,3), 9!, etc. But then I have a series like this:

The Attempt at a Solution



I am not sure what this is, is it a combination, perhaps because there hasn't been any yet, and this is solved by 25C5?

Sorry, I ment a list, as in I have 10 questions, with a few looking like the one on the photo, a few looking like 9!, and a few looking like p(10,3). =)
