. How many four letter patterns can be formed using the letters A, B, and C if letters may be repeated?


Sagot :

Answer:

24 patterns

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that four lettered patterns are to be formed using the three alphabets. Since letters may be repeated, then;

4[tex]P_{3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{4!}{(4 - 3)!}[/tex]

      = [tex]\frac{4 x 3 x 2!}{1!}[/tex]

     = 4 x 3 x 2

     = 24

4[tex]P_{3}[/tex] = 24

Therefore, 24 four letter patterns can be formed when the given letters are repeated.
