A computer password consists of six characters.a. How many different passwords are possible if each character may be any lowerca

se letter or digit, and at least one character must be a digit? Please enter your result in scientific notation, making sure the answer in the left box is between 1 and 10.b. A computer system requires that passwords contain at least one digit. If six characters are generated at random, and each is equally likely to be any of the 26 letters or 10 digits, what is the probability that a valid password will be generated?

Answer:

a) 6.04661760*10^8

b) 0.27778

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

There are 26 lowercase letters and 10 digits.  

The character that must be a digit can be generated in 10 different ways and the others, in 26+10=36 different ways.

Since the password is 6 characters long, by the Fundamental Rule of Counting there are

10*36*36*36*36*36 = 604,661,760

In scientific notation this number can be expressed as

6.04661760*10^8

b)

By the <em>Fundamental Rule of Counting</em>, there would be  

36^6

different combinations of 6 characters, but only the number computed in a) are valid combinations, so the probability of generating a valid password is

\displaystyle\frac{10*36^5}{36^6}=\displaystyle\frac{10}{36}=0.27778

An architect makes a model of a new house. The model shows a tile patio in the backyard. In the​ model, each tile has length
zvonat [6]

The two ways to find the ratio of the length is to turn the inches into feet or the feet into inches

So the answer can be solved like this:

1/36ft to 1/4ft which is 9:1 (blueprint size to actual size)

or

1/3in to 3in which is also 9:1 (blueprint size to actual size)

You know 4−3i is the complex conjugate of 4+3i. If you multiply the denominator of −2+5i4+3i by 4−3i, what will you get? Enter y
Alona [7]

Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(-2 + 5i)/(4 + 3i)

Required

Multiply the denominator by 4 - 3i

The denominator of the fraction above is 4 + 3i

When multiplied by 4 - 3i, the result is as follows;.

Result = (4 + 3i)(4 - 3i)

Expand

Result = 4(4 - 3i) + 3i(4 - 3i)

Open both brackets (take it one at a time)

Result = 4 * 4 - 4 * 3i + 3i(4 - 3i)

Result = 16 - 12i + 3i(4 - 3i)

Open the second bracket

Result = 16 - 12i + 12i - 3i * 3i

Result = 16 - 12i + 12i - 9i²

In complex numbers, i = √-1

i² = (√-1)²

i² = √-1 * √-1

i² = -1

The expression

Result = 16 - 12i + 12i - 9i²

Becomes

Result = 16 - 12i + 12i - 9(-1)

Result = 16 - 12i + 12i + 9

Collect like terms

Result = 16 + 9 + 12i - 12i

Result = 25 + 0

Result = 25

Hence, when the denominator of the fraction is multiplied by 4 - 3i, the result is 25
