Which situation will have the greatest number of permutations?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Anton [14]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Option C will have greatest number of permutations.

Step-by-step explanation:

A.

The number of license plates with 4 letters followed by 3 numbers, where letters and digits cannot be repeated.

We have total 26 letters (A_Z) and the letters can't be repeated. So we have 26 letter options for 1st letter

25 letters options for 2nd letter

24 letter options for 3rd letter

23 letter options for 4th letter.

So total options for 4 letters 26*25*24*23 = 358800

Now, 3 numbers are required. We have total 10 numbers (0-9)

10 number options for 1st number

9 number options for 2nd number

8 number options for 3rd number

Total options for 3 numbers= 10*9*8 = 720

total options for 4 letters and 3 numbers will be: 358800 * 720 = 258,336,000

B.

The number of license plates with 3 letters followed by 4 numbers, where letters and digits cannot be repeated.

We have total 26 letters (A_Z) and the letters can't be repeated. So we have 26 letter options for 1st letter

25 letters options for 2nd letter

24 letter options for 3rd letter

So total options for 3 letters= 26*25*24 = 15600

Now, 4 numbers are required. We have total 10 numbers (0-9)

10 number options for 1st number

9 number options for 2nd number

8 number options for 3rd number

7 number options for 4th number

Total options for 4 numbers = 10*9*8*7 = 5040

total options for 4 letters and 3 numbers will be: 15600 * 5040 = 78,624,000

C. The number of license plates with 4 letters followed by 3 numbers, where letters and digits can be repeated.

Now, the letters and digits can be repeated. So we have 26 options for each 4 letters and 10 options for each 3 numbers

26*26*26*26 *10*10*10 = 456,976 * 10,00 = 456,976,000

total options for 4 letters and 3 numbers will be: 456,976,000

D.

The number of license plates with 3 letters followed by 4 numbers, where letters and digits can be repeated.

Now, the letters and digits can be repeated. So we have 26 options for each 3 letters and 10 options for each 4 numbers

26*26*26 *10*10*10*10 = 17,576 * 10,000 = 175,760,000

total options for 3 letters and 4 numbers will be: 175,760,000

So, Option C will have greatest number of permutations.

Could someone explain why (-4)² is equal to 16 but -4² is equal to -16​
erica [24]

Answer:

It's all about the brackets.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we do (-4)^2, the brackets make it -4 x -4 and the two negatives make a positive of 16.

If we do -4^2, that means that the 4 is squared before putting the minus sign there so you have 4x4 = 16 then put the minus to get -16.

Hope this helps!

Solve for W: P=2L + 2W<br><br>A. W=P-L<br>B. W= 1/2P - L<br>C. W= 1/2 P + L<br>D. W= 2P - L​
svetlana [45]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

P=2L+2W

P-2L=2W (Subtract 2L from both sides of the equation)

2W=P-2L (Symmetric Property of Equality)

W=\frac{P-2L}{2} (Divide both sides of the equation by 2)

W=\frac{P}{2} -\frac{2L}{2} ("Split" the fractions)

W=\frac{1}{2}P-L (Simplify)

Hope this helps!

The time it takes to fly from Los Angeles to New York varies inversely as the speed of the plane. If
makvit [3.9K]

Answer: speed is  540 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:   Lets mark speed as v.

Because distenace is same, you can mark   6 h · 900 km/h = 10 h · v

and v = 5400 km / 10 h = 540 km/h.

Or using inverse proportions :   10 h / 6 h  =  v / 900 km/h  .

Before multiplying you turn lastproportion around :

10 h / 6 h = 600 km/ h / v   ,which gives   10 v = 6 · 900 km/h

and result is same
