Find the number of way of arranging all the letters of the word TENNESSEE:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "a) the FIRST two letters must be EE
\n" ); document.write( "
\r\n" );
document.write( "Examples:  EESENTNSE,  EEETSENSN, EENNSSTEE\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So we just have to fill in the 7 letters after EE\r\n" );
document.write( "from the 7 letters TENNESS in the blanks of:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "E E _ _ _ _ _ _ _\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Among the 7 letters of TENNESS there are 2 \r\n" );
document.write( "indistinguishable E's, 2 indistinguishable\r\n" );
document.write( "N's, and 2 indistinguishable S's, so\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "the answer is \"7%21%2F%282%212%212%21%29+=+630\"             \r\n" );
document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "b) the FIRST can NOT be EE
\n" ); document.write( "
\r\n" );
document.write( "First we find all the distinguishable arrangements of \r\n" );
document.write( "the 9 letters TENNESSEE and then subtract the results of\r\n" );
document.write( "part (a)\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Among the 9 letters of TENNESSEE there are 4 \r\n" );
document.write( "indistinguishable E's, 2 indistinguishable N's, and\r\n" );
document.write( "2 indistinguishable S's, so the number of \r\n" );
document.write( "distinguishable arrangements of TENNESSEE is\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\"9%21%2F%284%212%212%21%29+=+3780\"\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "But we must subtract all the distinguishable \r\n" );
document.write( "arrangements which begin with EE, so the answer\r\n" );
document.write( "is 3780 - 630 = 3150\r\n" );
