Advertisements
Solution
The given term is a2b3c4
The factors are a, b, c
Number of a’s = 2
Number of b’s = 3
Number of c’s = 4
a2b3c4 = a × a × b × b × b × c × c × c × c
Total number of factors in the product = 9
Number of ways the product can be expressed without exponents
= `(9!)/(2! xx 3! xx 4!)`
= `(9 xx 8 xx 7 xx 6 xx 5 xx 4!)/(2! xx 3! xx 4!)`
= `(9 xx 8 xx 7 xx 6 xx 5)/(2 xx 1 xx 3 xx 2 xx 1)`
= 9 × 4 × 7 × 5
= 1260
