A disc jockey has 7 songs to play. 5 are slow songs, and 2 are fast songs. each song is to be played only once. In how many ways can the disc jockey play the 7 songs if:
a)the songs can be played in any order:: 7! = 5040

b)the first song must be a slow song and the last song must be a slow song
1st song: 5

# = 5*4*5! = 20*120 = 2400

c)the first two songs must be fast songs
