+119 How many numbers (up to a maximum of four digit numbers) can be made from the digits 2, 3, 4, and 5 if no digit can be repeated?
I don't think I've gone over this yet in my course's material so I really have no clue how to even start answering this problem. Any help would be appreciated, as always...
+128408 1 dgit numbers = 4
2 digit numbers = take any 2 of 4 numbers and permute them = P(4,2) = 12
3 digit numbers = take any 3 of 4 numbers and permute them = P(4,3) = 24
4 digit numbers = permute all 4 numbers = 4! = 24
So.....
4 + 12 + 2(24) = 64 numbers
