Alfred wants to become a member of an online discussion forum. The website requires him to create a password. The password must

consist of 5 characters, of which 3 must be letters and 2 must be digits. The first character of the password must be a letter. Also, repetition of the same letter in the password is not permitted but repetition of digits is permitted. How many possible ways can Alfred create the password?
So I know the answer is 9,360,000 but I got 18,720,000. This is because I thought the partition is 4! / (2! * 1! * 1!) but apparently the partition is 4! / (2! * 2!) and this confuses me. I thought that since the letters can't be repeated, we'd put one unique letter in one group, the other unique letter in the other group, and the two repeated digits in the last group. Can somebody explain this to me?

Answer:

Alfred can create the password in 9,360,000 possible ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the questions;

Password of five characters must contain; three letters and 2 digits

[][][][][]

Now, using the five boxes above which as to be filled with three letters and two digits, such that; The first character of the password must be a letter and  repetition of the same letter in the password is not allowed while repetition of digits is allowed.

Now,

we know that there are 26 alphabets in English language, so the first box can be filled in 26 ways { must be a letter }

next four will be filed with two letters and two digits

so two boxes from the four can be chosen in the following ways;

⇒ ⁴C₂ = 4! / ( 2!(4-2)! = 24 / 4 = 6  { ways }

now for each choice, we can fill the chosen two boxes with letters in;

⇒ 25 × 24 = 600 { ways}

and the next two by digits; ( 0, 1, 2, ..... 9)

⇒ 10 × 10 = 100 { ways }

So in total, the possible number of ways he can create a password is;

⇒ 26 × 6 × 600 × 100

= 9,360,000 possible ways

Therefore, Alfred can create the password in 9,360,000 possible ways

Which equation represents a slope of -4 and y-intercept of (0,2)?
sdas [7]

Answer:

  y = −4x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope intercept form of the equation for a line is ...

  y = mx + b . . . . . . where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (0, b)

Here, you are given a slope of -4 (m=-4) and a y-intercept of (0, 2), so b=2. When you put these values in place of the corresponding variables, you get ...

  y = -4x +2

A women made a deposit of $196.If her deposit considered of 60 bills, some of them one-dollar bills and the rest being five-doll
raketka [301]
Answer: 26 pieces of $1 bill and 34 pieces of $5 bill

Total Deposit = $196
Total Bills = 60 pieces
Value of $1 = $1
Value of $5 = $5

Lets assume all the 60 pieces were $1 bill.
The total deposit will be 60 x $1 = $60

But we know that the total deposit is $196. So the extra value must have come from the $5. 

$196 - $60 = $136
There is still an outstanding amount of $136 not accounted for.

$5 - $1 = $4
The difference in the two bills is $4

Now we can find out the number of $5 bill by dividing the extra $136 by 4:
136 ÷ 4 = 34 pieces

There are 34 pieces of $5 bill.

Since there are 34 pieces of $5, the rest must be the $1 bill
60 - 34 = 26

There are 26 pieces of $1 bill.

Answer: 26 pieces of $1 bill and 34 pieces of $5 bill.

Idently the graph of f(x) = 3(x - 1) - 4. Then identity the vertex and ads of symmetry find the minimum value of and describe wh
Vesna [10]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume you mean f(x) = 3(x-1)^2-4

The equation is already in vertex form f(x)=a(x-h)^2+k where a affects how "fat" or "skinny" the parabola is and (h,k) is the vertex. Therefore, the vertex is (h,k)\rightarrow(1,-4).

The axis of symmetry is a line where the parabola is cut into two congruent halves. This is defined as x=h for a parabola with a vertical axis. Hence, the axis of symmetry is x=1.

The minimum value is the smallest value in the range of the function. In the case of a parabola, the y-coordinate of the vertex is the minimum value. Therefore, the minimum value is y=-4.

The interval where the function is decreasing is (-\infty,1)

The interval where the function is increasing is (1,\infty)
