`
a computer password must be 5 characters long.
the first character must be a capital letter.

Choose the capital letter 26 ways.

the second character must be a digit from 0 through 9, inclusive.

Choose the 2nd character 10 ways.

the third character must be one of eight specified symbols.

Choose the 3rd character 8 ways.

each of the fourth and fifth character can be any combination of capital or
lowercase letters, digits or symbols, where the symbols are from the 8 specified
symbols.

26 capital letters + 26 lower case letters + 10 digits + 8 symbols = 70
characters.

Choose the 4th character any of 70 ways.

Choose the 5th character also any of 70 ways.

how many different passwords can be made using these rules?

Number oif passwords = 26*10*8*70*70 = 10192000, choice (D)
