Let A={1,5,9,11,15,23}

  1. Find the number of sequences of length 3 using elements of A.

Since elements can repeat we have: 63=216

  1. Repeat part (a) if no element of A is to be used twice.

P(6,3)=654=120

  1. Repeat part (a) if the first element of the sequence is 5.

Since 5 is fixed in the first position the two remaining positions can be filled with any of the six elements: 62=36

  1. Repeat part (a) if the first element of the sequence is 5 and no element of A is used twice.

P(5,2)=54=20
