"supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" has 34 letters, with 10 letters that appear more than once. In all, there are 34! permutations if we consider each letter to be distinct from any other, even duplicate letters.

If we assume duplicate letters are indistinguishable, then we need to divide this total by the number of ways we can permute those duplicate letters. For instance, the binary string 101 has 3! possible permutations, but in each permutation, we can rearrange the 1s in 2! ways (e.g. 101* and 1*01).

So in the word "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious", we have:

2 copies each of e, o, p, r, u;
3 copies each of a, c, l, s;
7 copies of i;

which means we have a total of

\dfrac{34!}{(2!)^5(3!)^47!}=1,412,469,529,257,855,275,311,104,000,000

possible permutations if we consider any duplicate letters identical.

Answer:

1,412,469,529,257,855,275,311

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the number of distinguishable permutations of the letters in the word supercalifragilisticexpialidocious?

supercalifragilisticexpialidocious is about 34 characters

some letters appear more than once

they are

 e, o, p, r, u; 2 copies

a, c, l, s;  3 copies

 i- 7 copies

The permutations will be then

(\frac{34!}{(2!)^5(3!)^4(7!)}

SO WE HAVE

1,412,469,529,257,855,275,311 ways are the number of ways we can arranged the word supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

15. f(n)= 2n-3
a) =2(11)-7
    =22-7
    =15

    =2(-6)-7
    =-12-7
    =-19

b) f(g)=-5x+1
         = -5(41)+1
         = -205+1
         = -204

         = -5(-16)+1
         = 80+1
         = 81

Is it possible to determine the form factor without opening the case?
bija089 [108]

Answer:

Sometimes the form factor can be determined without opening the case and the form factor can be predicted on the basis of the shape of the case.

But, since the mother board is must to determine a form factor, you have to open the case before you can determine the form factor. Unless the manufacturer tags the details of the motherboard outside the case which is very rare to see. Also most cases easily show the type but that is not enough to determine the form factor.

Which statement is true about this argument? premises: if an angle measure is greater than 90°, then the angle is an obtuse angl
vazorg [7]
Answer: option d. the argument is valid by the law of detachment.

The law of detachment consists in make a conlcusion in this way:

Premise 1) a => b
Premise 2) a is true

Conclusion: Then, b is true

Note: the order of the premises 1 and 2 does not modifiy the argument.

IN this case:

Premise 1) angle > 90 => obtuse

Premise 2) angle = 102 [i.e. it is true that angle > 90]]

Conclusion: it is true that angle is obtuse
