You can walk 3 miles per hour, jog 5 miles per hour, or run 10 miles per hour. You go a full hour before changing pace. At the end of each hour, you make a choice as to whether to walk, jog, or run for the next hour.

a. Find a recurrence relation for the number of ways to go n miles.
b. How many ways arc there to go 12 miles?
c. How many ways arc there to go 20 miles?
d. How many ways arc there to go 22 miles?

b. How many ways arc there to go 12 miles?

≡ p(12) = 25

c. How many ways arc there to go 20 miles?

≡ p(20) = 131

d. How many ways arc there to go 22 miles?

≡p(22)  199

Step-by-step explanation:

a) supposed you walked for the first hour. Then you would have travelled 3 miles. if you jogged you would have covered 5miles and if you run you would have covered 10miles. now you have to decide how to run the rest miles from the n miles.

Thus, the number of ways one can cover n miles will be given by the recurrence relation

p(n) = p( n-3) + p( n-5) + p( n - 10)

now to solve the rest of the question, let us make a table which provides the number of ways for n = 1  to 22.

check the attachment for the table

b. How many ways arc there to go 12 miles?

≡ p(12) = 25

c. How many ways arc there to go 20 miles?

≡ p(20) = 131

d. How many ways arc there to go 22 miles?

≡p(22)  199

step-by-step explanation:

hi there!

question 1 answer: p/q can be terminating when q = 5^m * 2^n

question 2 answer: -1 and -1

question 3 answer: -4

question 4 answer: 5/12

hope this : )
