Question 142536: "To keep PC files secure, many programs require the user to enter a password. The shortest passwords must be at least 6 characters long and can contain both letters and digits." How many 6-character passwords are possible if characters can be repeated? Please explain HOW to find the answer. I am so stuck on this. Answer by scott8148(6628) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! there are 6 positions, each of which can be any one of 36 (26+10) characters (assuming the letters are not case sensitive)
so the number of possible passwords is 36*36*36*36*36*36 or 36^6
if the letters could be upper and lower case, then 62^6
