How can I calculate the number of possible combinations in a set of different things.
For example;
A car has 3 parts
>Tires
>Engine
>Frame
there are 10 variations of each. How many possible combinations are there?

I dropped out of calculus in college and have since forgotten advanced algebra. Much regret.

10^3...

you should read

what if each group has a different number of variations? For instance, group 1 and 2 have 10 variations, but group 3 has 20. Is the a formula for this?

What do you think it would be?

2000, but if I was smart enough to create a model for any number of variables I wouldn't be here.

it's actually 3^10.
also have you not been to 10th grade ?
>>
>>8484635
expecting me to remember something I learned 12 years ago and then never used. but I'm not looking for just the answer to that set, but any possible set. The linked series of videos explains it adequately though.

>>8484648
well i'm expecting you to use logic and/or remember basic shit either way glad you broadened your horizons and managed to better yourself today
>>
>>8484652
logic doesn't tell you if there is a standard form for writing something. I'm not trying to invent my own system of mathematical notation. Choose one of 19 different shits to eat, and them jump into one of any 47 fires.

No it's obviously fucking not, there aren't 60 thousand ways to arrange the car parts

>If there was 2 ways to arrange 1000 parts of the car there are 2^1000 ways to make the car
Spastic.
