22) How many ways can N peripherals be attached to k computers if every peripheral must be attached to exactly one computer and and every computer must be attached to at least one periferal.

So ther must be at least as many computers as peripherals    $$k\ge N$$

I believe that this is the formula that Nauseated presented us with 

$$\displaystyle \sum \limits_{i=0}^{\textcolor[rgb]{1,0,0}{N-1}} *(-1)^i*\binom{N}{i}* (N-i)^k$$
