$_9C_4=126$

Work Step by Step

RECALL: $_nC_r=\dfrac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}$ Use this to have: $\require{cancel}\\_9C_4=\dfrac{9!}{4!(9-4)!} \\_9C_4=\dfrac{9!}{4!(5!)} \\_9C_4=\dfrac{9(8)(7)(6)(5!)}{24(5!)} \\_9C_4=\dfrac{9(8)(7)(6)\cancel{(5!)}}{24\cancel{(5!)}} \\_9C_4=\dfrac{9(8)(7)\cancel{(6)}}{\cancel{24}4} \\_9C_4=\dfrac{9\cancel{(8)}2(7)}{\cancel{4}} \\_9C_4=126$
