Find number of ways of selection of atleast one vowel and one consonant from the word TRIPLE

Directrix (directrix):

Do you think the question means at least one vowel and exactly one consonant? I'm not clear on the question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

one or more than one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but not zero

Directrix (directrix):

On the vowels, yes. I'm asking about the consonants. at least one vowel --> 1 or 2 and one consonant---> exactly 1 consonant

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh yeah atleast one consonant

Directrix (directrix):

So, then would we get the number of selections for 1 vowel and 1 consonant and then get the number of selections for 2 vowels and 1 consonant and then add those two numbers of ways together?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh wait that didn't strike me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

doing it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait how

Directrix (directrix):

2 Vowels and 4 consonants in TRIPLE I'm thinking this: C(2,1) * C(4,1) + C(2,2) * C(4,1) =

Directrix (directrix):

C(2,1) means Two, choose one

Directrix (directrix):

I am not saying that this is correct. I am saying this is what I am thinking at the moment.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i didn't get u two choose one ?

Directrix (directrix):

C(2,1) is notation I'm using for a combination of 2 objects taken 1 at the time |dw:1419615923557:dw|
