  2. Simplify each expression with P(n, r), giving some answers as polynomials.
    \dfrac{P(n, 3)}{P(n, 2)}P(n + 1, 2)\dfrac{P(n, 5)}{P(n, 3)}P(n, 2) + P(n, 1)
  3. Word problem: ways to award gold, silver and bronze medals to 9 ski racers.
  4. Word problem: choosing a theme for each day of a 5-day spirit week.
  5. Find the whole number n in each equation and check it.
