A committee is formed consisting of one representative from each of the 4 departments (CS-IS-IT-SW) in the computer science college, where the representative from a department is either the president or one of the two representatives from that department. How many ways are there to form this committee?

Step-by-step explanation:

each department has 3 options for their representative.

and each of these options can be associated with the 3 options of the next department. and so on.

so, we have

3×3×3×3 = 3⁴ = 81

possibilities to firm that committee overall.

x is variable or an unknown value to find

example:

2x = 5 which means x = 3

answer: c.
