Now suppose that not every player can play in every position. The outfielders (left field, center field, right field) can play any outfield position, the infielders (1st base, 2nd base, 3rd base, short stop) can play any infield position, the pitchers can only pitch, and the catchers can only catch. Suppose a certain team has 20 players, of whom 3 are catchers, 4 are outfielders, 6 are infielders, and 7 are pitchers. How many ways can the team assign field positions to 9 of the 19 players, putting each of the 9 selected players in a position he can play, and ensuring that all 9 field positions are filled?

The team can assign field positions to 9 of the 19 players in 181,440 different ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the outfielders (left field, center field, right field) can play any outfield position, the infielders (1st base, 2nd base, 3rd base, short stop) can play any infield position, the pitchers can only pitch, and the catchers can only catch, supposing a certain team has 20 players, of whom 3 are catchers, 4 are outfielders, 6 are infielders, and 7 are pitchers, to determine how many ways can the team assign field positions to 9 of the 19 players, putting each of the 9 selected players in a position he can play, and ensuring that all 9 field positions are filled, the following calculation must be performed:

3 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 4 x 3 x 2 = X

21 x 30 x 12 x 24 = X

630 x 12 x 24 = X

181,440 = X

Therefore, the team can assign field positions to 9 of the 19 players in 181,440 different ways.

easy math just plug in a and b

step-by-step explanation:

answer:

it is general formula that is used to write value to its excet position

a11 a12 a13

a21 a22 a23

it is the example of order 2 by 3 matrix in this

a11 means value occur in 1 st row 1st column

a12 means value occurs in 1st row 2nd column

a13 means value occur in 1st row and 3rd column

a21 means value occurs in 2nd row and 1st column

a22 means value occurs in 2nd row and in 2nd column

a23 means value occurs in 2nd row and in 3rd column
