Answer:
a) 1,757,600 different plates possible.
b) 1,404,000 different plates possible.
Step-by-step explanation:
The permutations formula is important to solve this question.
Permutations formula:
The number of possible permutations of x elements from a set of n elements is given by the following formula:
(a) can be repeated:
There are 3 letters, each one with 26 possible outcomes.
2 digits, each with 10 possible outcomes
So
T = 26*26*26*10*10 = 1757600
1,757,600 different plates possible.
(b) cannot be repeated:
Here the permutations formula is used.
Three letters, from a set of 26.
Two digits, from a set of 10. So
1,404,000 different plates possible.
Answer:
35.4 years
Step-by-step explanation:
The annual consumption (in billions of units) is described by the exponential function ...
f(t) = 45.5·1.026^t
The accumulated consumption is described by the integral ...
We want to find t such that the value of this integral is 2625, the estimated oil reserves.
2625 = 45.5/ln(1.026)·(1.026^t -1)
2625·ln(1.026)/45.5 +1 = 1.026^t ≈ 1.480832 +1 = 1.026^t
Taking natural logs, we have ...
ln(2.480832) = t·ln(1.026)
t ≈ ln(2.480832)/ln(1.026) ≈ 35.398
After about 35.4 years, the oil reserves will run out.
