Permutations

1. Define and characterize:

a) Permutations from n elements 
b) Permutations from n elements with repetition

Solution:

Permutations
 

A pemutation is a sequence containing each element from a finite set of n elements once, and only once. Permutations of the same set differ just in the order of elements.  

P(n) = n!

Permutations with repetition
permutacie1
n1 – # of the same elements of the first cathegory
n2 - # of the same elements of the second cathegory
n3 - # of the same elements of the third cathegory
nj - # of the same elements of the j-th cathegory 

Stands: n1+n2+n3+.........+nj = n


2. There are 3 elements a, b, c. Use them to make:

a) permutations (without repetition)
b) permutations with repetition, where „ a“ occures 2 times,“ b“ one time and „c“ one time
Solution:

permutacie2a
permutacie2b

3.How many positive integers of 5 digits may be made from the ciphers 1,2,3,4,5, if:

a) Each cipher may be used just once?
b) How many of them will begin with 5?
c) How many of them will be even?
Solution:

a) P(5) = 5! = 5.4.3.2.1 = 120

b) P(4) = 4! = 4.3.2.1 =24

c)
ending with 2: P(4) = 4! =24
ending with 4: P(4) = 4! = 24
sum : S = 2.4! = 2.24 = 48
