Thank you OlderDan Thanks OlderDan...that looks like the same way some of my classmates were working on the problem. I really appreciate your help! Thanks Skrying!

How far can this recursion formula go? I had another quick question (and probably a dumb one) since math of any kind is not my forte'...how far does or can this formula continue..? Thanks!

Thanks Dexter and Salty :smile: Thank you dexter and salty for your input. It does make more sense when you put it that way. I think I am just making all this harder than it really is perhaps? Thanks, Skrying

Hi everyone, Right now my class is studying recursion formulas - er, when the next answer is based off the answer before it, if that makes any sense? I am having a hard time understanding this. A picture of the attached problem is included...Thanks for any and all help for this problem...

Reply to A I and Who.. Yes, that was what I was looking for. Thank you for your help!

Thank you Robert Thank you Robert, that explanation and the examples were really helpful. You explained it so it actually "makes sense" to me. Much appreciated! :smile:

The counting principle The counting principle is dealing with the occurrence of more than one event, thus being able to quickly determine how many possible outcomes exist. Kind of like sequences, if that makes more sense.

Is it fair to say combinations are just an application of the counting principle? I already understand that permutations are just an application of fundamental principle and that combinations are just an application of permutations. If it's fair to say that combinations are in fact, just an...
