There are 15 504 ways that an instructor may select 5 textbooks from possible 20.

The expression to use for this calculation is:

20C5 = 20!/[5!∙(20-5)!] = 15 504

and it reads as: The number of different combinations of 5 entities you can get

from a collection of 20 different entities is.

where the symbol !, stands for factorial, such that:

n! = n∙(n-1)∙(n-2)∙(n-3)∙,,,∙(4)∙(3)∙(2)∙(1)

e.g., 5! = 5x4x3x2x1 = 120

Who was the oldest king in Medieval Times?

It's not possible to answer this question for two reasons. Firstly, in the ancient and medieval period there were dozens, if not hundreds of kings, ruling different areas around the world. It's not possible to pick one at any particular time who was the "first". Secondly, there is no set definition of when the medieval period began, or whether it was different for different countries. Unless you are talking about one specific country, it is not possible to select one king as the "first".
