To find the number of 4-digit integers in the closed interval [2022,4482] formed using the set of digits S={0,2,3,4,6,7}, we consider a general four-digit integer represented as N=d1d2d3d4, where d1∈{2,3,4} and d2,d3,d4∈S.
Since there is no restriction stating that digits cannot be repeated, repetition of digits is allowed. We break the problem down into cases based on the thousands digit d1.
Case 1: d1=2
We require N=2d2d3d4≥2022.
-
Subcase 1.1: d2∈{2,3,4,6,7} (5 choices)
- Since d2≥2, N≥2200>2022.
- d3 and d4 can each be any of the 6 digits in S.
- Number of integers = 5×6×6=180.
-
Subcase 1.2: d2=0
- We need 20d3d4≥2022⟹d3d4≥22.
- If d3∈{3,4,6,7} (4 choices):
d4 can be any of the 6 digits in S.
Number of integers = 4×6=24.
- If d3=2:
We need 202d4≥2022⟹d4≥2.
d4∈{2,3,4,6,7} (5 choices).
Number of integers = 5.
- If d3=0:
The maximum value is 2007<2022, so there are 0 valid integers.
Total for Case 1 = 180+24+5=209.
Case 2: d1=3
- Any four-digit number starting with 3 formed using elements of S satisfies 3000≤N≤3777, which lies completely within [2022,4482].
- d2,d3, and d4 can each be chosen from S in 6 ways.
Total for Case 2 = 1×6×6×6=216.
Case 3: d1=4
We require N=4d2d3d4≤4482.
-
Subcase 3.1: d2∈{0,2,3} (3 choices)
- Since d2≤3, N≤4377<4482.
- d3 and d4 can each be chosen from S in 6 ways.
- Number of integers = 3×6×6=108.
-
Subcase 3.2: d2=4
- The largest number starting with 44 using digits from S is 4477.
- Since 4477≤4482, all choices for d3 and d4 are valid.
- Number of integers = 1×6×6=36.
-
Subcase 3.3: d2∈{6,7}
- The smallest number starting with 46 is 4600>4482, so there are 0 valid integers.
Total for Case 3 = 108+36=144.
