Find a recurrence relation for the number of ways to go n miles by foot walking at 2 miles per hour or jogging at 4 miles per hour or running at 8 miles per hour; at the end of each hour a choice is made of how to go the next hour. (b) how many ways are there to go 12 miles?

(a)

(b) 18 ways

Solution:

As per the question:

We need to find the no.of ways to go 'n' miles by foot:

From the question it is clear that, at each hours even miles can be traveled by a person, If the distance to be covered is odd, then there in no way 3 miles can be covered.

Thus defining recurrence as:

where

n: negative or odd

Then

(b) No. of ways to travel 12 miles:

Thus clearly there are 18 ways to travel 12 miles

"i have always loved contemporary art and made it a general goal to work within the field. after a few nonprofit internships at museums and galleries, i decided to try the for-profit art world and was offered a job as the ad assistant at the magazine. i much prefer the pace of the for-profit art community and have stayed with the company for three years, with a promotion to an account manager last spring."

i just did this and got a 100.
