Problem
In the expression each blank is to be filled in with one of the digits
or
with each digit being used once. How many different values can be obtained?
Solution
We have ways to choose the pairs, and we have
ways for the values to be switched so
Solution 2
We have four available numbers . Because different permutations do not matter because they are all addition and multiplication, if we put
on the first space, it is obvious there are
possible outcomes
.
Solution 3
There are ways to arrange the numbers and
overcounts per way due to commutativity. Therefore, the answer is
