Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The word "LAMEFIREALARM" word consists of

2L , 2M, 2E , 2R , 3A , F and I

no of words with the above letters such that M's are not together

=Total No of words- M's are together

Total no of words=\frac{13!}{4\times 2!\times 3!}=64,864,800

When M's are together . considering 2 M's as one

therefore there are \frac{12!}{3\times 2!\times 3!}=9,979,200

No of ways=\frac{13!}{4\times 2!\times 3!}-\frac{12!}{3\times 2!\times 3!}=54,885,600

(b)No of ways such that M's are separated by at least 2 letters

at least  2 letter means 2 letter, 3 letter ......11 letters

So we have to subtract no of ways where there are 1 letter in between M's from total no of ways where 2 M's are not next to each other

No of ways in which there is 1 letter between 2 M's

This can be done by considering 11 cases

In first case Place first M in Starting Position and 2 M on third place

Second case place First M in 2 nd Position and second M on 4 th place

Similarly For 11th case

Place first M in 11th place and second M on 13th place

Total ways

=\frac{11\times 11!}{3!\times 2!\times 2!\times 2!}

So , the total number of arrangements of the letters of the word LAMEFIREALARM where the two M's are separated by atleast two letters is

=\frac{13!}{4\times 2!\times 3!}-\frac{12!}{3\times 2!\times 3!}-\frac{11\times 11!}{3!\times 2!\times 2!\times 2!}

=45738000

Dr. Clarence invested $5000 in an account that draws 3.2% interest, compounded annually. What is the total value of the account
castortr0y [4]
It's simple, you just have to times everything. 5000 x 3.2% x 5 years. After calculating these, 3.2 is as 0.032 so there would be three decimal places. So then it will e 5000 x 0.032 x 5
