H(6) = 3x - 4 ------------ I don't think h(6) = 3x - 4 h(x) = 3x - 4 is more likely. A function of x usually has an x term, and if there's an x term it's probably a function of x. --------- h(x) = 3x - 4 For h(6), sub 6 for x h(6) = 3*6 - 4 h(6) = 14

Permutations/710523: I apologize in advance as I am no longer a student and don't mean to waste anyone's time but I am curious if one of the tutors would care to calculate the entropy of "or better yet" the number of permutations of a 16 digit password that uses 0 thru 9 and/or 26 letters. I would be curious to know the formula to be able to do the math myself for say 15 digits, 14 digits, 13 digits etc. to understand the entropy. Why? I just dropped some big bucks on an Apricorn 1 TB Padlock USB 3.0 Encrypted Hard Drive with PIN Access. Not doing espionage or anything like that just trying to figure a reasonable passcode.

I would be curious to know the formula to be able to do the math myself for say 15 digits, 14 digits, 13 digits etc. to understand the entropy. ------------------------ If it's not case sensitive, each of the 16 "digits" can be one of 36 characters. --> 36^16 =~ 7.95866E24 combinations. If you try 1000 combinations per second, it'll take 252,367,488,300,000,000,000,000 years to try them all. ----------------- For 15, 14, 13, etc, it's 36 to the power of the # of characters. ---------- If it's case sensitive, each character has 62 possibilities, so it's 62^n, n = # of characters.

Percentage-and-ratio-word-problems/710519: I am having a really hard time on this problem. A farmer brings a 300 pound watermelon to market. Unbeknownst to the farmer, two months ago this village passed a ban on the purchase of watermelons, and so it just sits out all day in the sun without anybody buying it. During this rather hot day, some of the water in the watermelon evaporates, so that by the time she packs up her wares to go home, the water has dropped from comprising 99 percent of the total fruit down to constituting 98 percent. How much does her watermelon weigh now?
