From every arrangement of 7 letters we get a pair by putting a sign after the four letters from the left.
∴ the required number of pairs = 7!/2!2!

Veda Institute answered
For a positive integer n, let Pn denote the space of all polynomials P(x) with coefficients in M such that degree P(x) ≤ n and let Bn denote the standard basis of Pn given by Bn = {1, x, x2,....., xn}
If T : P3---->P4 is a linear transformation defined by
T(P(x)) = x2P'(x) +
and A = (aij) is the 5 x 4 matrix of T with respect to the standard bases B3 and B4


Hence, the matrix of T related to the basis
Hence a32 = 3/2 and a33 = 0

Sumit Sengupta answered  •  Nov 26, 2023
To find the coefficient of x in the expansion of (1 + x)^m(1 - x)^n, we can use the binomial theorem. According to the binomial theorem, the general term in the expansion of (a + b)^n is given by:

C(n, r) * a^(n-r) * b^r

where C(n, r) represents the number of ways to choose r items from a set of n items, and r ranges from 0 to n.

In this case, we have (1 + x)^m(1 -
