answer this question but there are 6 songs and 6 commercials available

Let's adjust the question by using 6 songs and 6 commercials.

The pattern provided in the question is as follows:
\[ C \ S \ C \ S \ S \ C \]

Here, "C" represents a commercial, and "S" represents a song. There are 6 total slots, 3 for songs and 3 for commercials. The problem states that **songs cannot be repeated**, but **commercials can**.

To solve this:

1. **Songs:** Since the songs cannot repeat and there are exactly 3 song slots (S), you will need to choose 3 out of the 6 songs. This can be done using permutations since the order of songs matters:
   \[
   \text{Number of ways to arrange 3 songs from 6} = P(6, 3) = \frac{6!}{(6-3)!} = 6 \times 5 \times 4 = 120
   \]

2. **Commercials:** Commercials can be repeated. There are 3 slots for commercials, and you have 6 commercials available. Since commercials can be repeated, each commercial slot can be filled in 6 ways (as there are 6 commercials available for each slot). So, for the 3 commercial slots:
   \[
   \text{Number of ways to arrange commercials} = 6 \times 6 \times 6 = 6^3 = 216
   \]

3. **Total number of arrangements:** Since the songs and commercials are independent of each other, you multiply the number of ways to arrange the songs by the number of ways to arrange the commercials:
   \[
   \text{Total number of different morning shows} = 120 \times 216 = 25,920
   \]

Thus, **25,920** different morning shows can be produced with 6 songs and 6 commercials, given the specified conditions.

Would you like any further details or explanations? Here are some related questions to explore:

1. How would the solution change if songs could be repeated like commercials?
2. What if there were 4 song slots instead of 3 in the sequence?
3. How would the number of arrangements change if there were only 4 songs available?
4. What if commercials had to be used without repetition, like songs?
5. How many ways could we arrange a sequence if there were no restrictions on repetition for both songs and commercials?

**Tip:** For problems involving combinations of repeated and non-repeated items, separating them and handling each case individually is key to simplifying the solution.

If there are 6 songs and 6 commercials available, how many different morning shows can be produced? Assume that a song is never repeated, but commercials can be repeated any number of times.
