Math Problem Statement
Solution
The text in the image describes a problem where a frog starts at the origin (0, 0) in a coordinate plane. From any point , the frog can jump to one of the following points:
The problem asks how many different sequences of jumps the frog can take to move from point to point .
Let’s analyze this step by step:
-
Goal: The frog needs to reach point .
- It needs to make exactly units of movement in the x-direction.
- It needs to make exactly units of movement in the y-direction.
-
X-direction moves: The frog can either jump by 2 or by 3 units in the x-direction, so we need to find all combinations of these moves that sum up to 6.
- Possible combinations of moves:
- 3 jumps of 2 units (3x2 = 6)
- 2 jumps of 3 units (2x3 = 6)
- 1 jump of 2 units and 1 jump of 3 units (2 + 3 + 1 = 6)
- Possible combinations of moves:
-
Y-direction moves: The frog can only jump by 3 units in the y-direction. So there
