Answer:
3/20
Step-by-step explanation:
First we must get the total amount of possibilities.
We have ten numbers(0 included) and 4 letters. 10 * 4 = 40, so 40 total possibilities.
Now, let's see how many possibilities we can have for this.
Consonants in the 4 letters are B, C, D. This means we have 3 possibilities, but we ACTUALLy have 6 since it could b then 3, or 3 then b for all the letters.
So, we end up having 6/40 which simplifies in to 3/20
Given
- f(n) values for n=1,2,3,4
- possible candidates for the function
Solution:
Method: Evaluate some of the values, for each function. A function with ANY value not matching the given f(n) values will be rejected.
N=1, f(n)=4
f(1)=4-3(1-1)=4
f(1)=4+3^(1+1)=4+3^2=4+9=13 ≠ 4 [rejected]
f(1)=4(3^(n-1))=4(3^0)=4
f(1)=3(4^(n-1))=3(4^0)=3*1=3 [rejected]
N=2, f(n)=12
f(1)=4-3(2-1)=4-3(1)=1 ≠ 12 [rejected]
[rejected]
f(1)=4(3^(2-1)=4*3^1=4*3=12
[rejected]
Will need to check one more to be sure
N=3, f(n)=3
[rejected]
[rejected]
f(3)=4(3^(n-1))=4(3^(3-1))=4(3^2)=4*9=36 [Good]
[rejected]
Solution: f(n)=4(3^(n-1))
Lets say a=2 and b=5 you now plug in you numbers to get 3x2x5 we know 3x2=6 so now take 6 and multiply it by 5 so 6x5=30 you can also set this equal to 0 3ab=0 then divide by either a or b ill show you both if you divide by a you are left with 3b=a if you divide by b than you get 3a=b
