How many different seven-letter sequences can be formed from the letters a, a, a, a, a, b, c?

Kaylis [27]3 years ago
4 0

If b is in the first position then c can be in any 1 of the remaining 6 positions.

If we start with ab then the letter c can be in any one of 5 positions and  if we have aab there are 4 possible positions for c and so on.

So the total number of possible sequences where b comes first = 6+5+4+3+2+1 =  21.

The same argument applies when c comes before b  so that gives us 21 ways also.

So the answer is 2 *21 = 42 different sequences.

A more direct way of doing  this  is to use factorials:-

answer = 7! / 5!     =  7 * 6 = 42.

 ( We divide by 5!   because of the 5 a's.)

Let ax-by=c, where a,b,c&gt;0. Rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form
Elis [28]

Here we are required to rewrite the equation ax-by=c, where a,b,c>0 In the slope-intercept form.

The slope-intercept form of ax-by=c is ;

y = (a/b)x - (c/b).

There a no. of ways to write the equation of a line; however, the most popular of these ways is the slope-intercept form.

  • The slope-intercept form usually takes the form ; y = mx + c.

Therefore, the equation ax-by=c can be rewritten thus;

  • ax - c = by
  • By divIDing both sides of the equation by b, we have ;
  • (a/b)x - (c/b) = y

Consequently, the slope-intercept form of ax-by=c is ;

  • y = (a/b)x - (c/b).
  • where , (a/b) is the slope(m)
  • and (-c/b) is the intercept(c).
