Given:

Adam's locker has a password that consists of 4 non-repeated letters from A - Z.

To find:

The number of different passwords.

Solution:

Total number of letters from A - Z is 26.

So, the number of selecting a letter for first place is 26.

The passwords consists non-repeated letters. So, the remaining numbers is .

The number of selecting a letter for second place is 25.

Similarly,

The number of selecting a letter for third place is 24.

The number of selecting a letter for fourth place is 23.

The total number of possible different passwords is:

Therefore, the total number of different passwords is 358800.

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

eventually after a few more steps, your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
