Tina has to create a password of exactly 6 letters for the security of a software program file. How many passwords are possible, assuming that passwords are case-sensitive (upper and lower-case letters are treated as different letters) and no other symbols are allowed?

The equation I used was [(6 x 26) x 26] because there are 26 letters in the alphabet, and once you get all 26 letters of the alphabet, you have twice the possibilities of letters since the password is case-sensitive.

[(6 x 26) x 26] = 4056
