How many strings can be formed by ordering the letters MISSISSIPPI which contain the substring of MISS?

1680 is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we have 11 letters in the word MISSISSIPPI.

Repetition of letters:

M - 1 time

I - 4 times

S - 4 times

P - 2 times

As per question statement, we need a substring MISS in the resultant strings.

So, we need to treat MISS as one unit so that MISS always comes together in all the strings.

The resultant strings will look like:

xxxxMISSxxx

xxMISSxxxxx

and so on.

After we treat MISS as one unit, total letters = 8

Repetition of letters:

MISS - 1 time

I - 3 times

S - 2 times

P - 2 times

The formula for combination of letters with total of n letters:

where p, q and r are the number of times other letters are getting repeated.

p = 3

q = 2

r = 2

So, required number of strings that contain MISS as substring:

So, 1680 is the answer.

step-by-step explanation:

let

we know that

the y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point when the value of x is equal to zero

so

the y-coordinate of the point a is the y-intercept

the answer part a) is

the value of y-intercept is

part b) find the slope m

we know that

the value of the slope is equal to

substitute the values

therefore

the answer part b) is

the value of the slope is equal to

the general answer is

the slope is

the value of y-intercept is
