How many anagrams can you form with AETBUEPE where the letters don't appear in their original position?
You need to use all the letters, otherwise it isn't an anagramtube

do you mean letters had so make sense?Wrong
If all the letters were unique this problem would be simpleHow many anagrams can you form with AETBUEPE where the letters don't appear in their original position?
Wrong, they must not be in their original position.If all the letters were unique this problem would be simple
it would just be 8! however the letter E is repeated 3 times
This means we need to filter out the permutations of E
Basically for all other letters we care about the order so for example ABC is distinct from BAC
However since E is repeated it means we will end with something like EAE and EAE which are not distinct
So I think we must divide by 3! to get rid of the repeats
(8!/3!)-1=6719 ways
[Note there is some ambiguity are you counting all that dont have all the letters in the same place or are you saying that everysingle letter in the anagram must be in a different place?]
