Each user on a computer system has a password, which is seven to
nine characters long, where each
character is an uppercase letter or a digit. Each password must
contain at least one digit or at
least one Uppercase letter. How many possible passwords are
there?

Suppose that a certain computer password is allowed to be from 8
to 12 characters long, and may contain only lowercase letters (a to
z), uppercase letters (A to Z), and numbers (0 to 9).
1. How many such passwords are possible?
2. How many such passwords are possible if you cannot repeat
characters?
3. How many such passwords are possible if you cannot repeat
characters, and you must include
at least one number?

For a certain computer program a password must be exactly 5
characters long. The first character can be any lowercase letter,
the second must be an uppercase letter, the third character must be
a number from 0 – 9, the fourth character can either be a lowercase
letter or a number 0 - 9, the fifth character has to be exactly the
same as the first character.

A computer password consists of: • letters {a, A, 6, B,
...,2,Z}, • digits {0, 1,...,9), or = 16 • special characters
{!,@,#,$,%}. In addition, a password must • contain at least one
upper case letter, • contain at least one special character. How
many passwords of length 8 are possible?

2) Allowing (or requiring) users to use numerical digits
(including 0) and one of 28 “special characters” dramatically
increases the number of possible passwords. Furthermore, passwords
often are case-sensitive, effectively doubling the size of the
alphabet by defining 52 distinct letter characters.
Assuming that passwords are case-sensitive and can include
numerical digits and special characters, how many possible 6, 8 and
10 character passwords can be created? (8 points)
3) Allowing digits and special characters creates an enormous
number...
