Question

Letter (a) is the question.

4.2. (a) How many n-tuples (x₁, x2, . . . , xn) are there if the coordinates are required
to be integers satisfying 0 ≤ xi < q?
(b) Same question as (a), except now there are separate bounds 0 ≤ xi <qi for
each coordinate.
(c) How many n-by-n matrices are there if the entries xi,j of the matrix are integers
satisfying 0≤xi, j < q?
(d) Same question as (a), except now the order of the coordinates does not matter.
So for example, (0, 0, 1, 3) and (1,0,3,0) are considered the same. (This one is
rather tricky.)
(e) Twelve students are each taking four classes, for each class they need two loose-
leaf notebooks, for each notebook they need 100 sheets of paper, and each sheet
of paper has 32 lines on it. Altogether, how many students, classes, notebooks,
sheets, and lines are there? (Bonus. Make this or a similar problem of your own
devising into a rhyme like the St. Ives riddle.)
