How many different paths can a bug travel from Point A to Point B along a network traveling ONLY South or East?
(Point A is at the top left of rectangle with 3 columns across and 2 rows down, Point B is at the bottom right of the rectanvle) I need an answer and how you got the answer (formula). Thanks.|||Infinite
The bug can go 7/8th of a row down - across - and down - and across.
The bug can go 6/8th of a row down - across - and down - and across.
The bug can go 5/8th of row down - across - and down - and across.
etc. etc. etc.
the bug can go 1/16th of a row down etc. etc. etc.
the bug can go 1/32nd of a row down etc. etc. etc.
the bug can go 1/64th of a row down etc. etc. etc.
the bug can go 1/128th of a row down etc. etc. etc.
the bug can go 1/256th of a row down etc. etc. etc.
the bug can go 1/512th of a row down etc. etc. etc.
the bug can go 1/1024th of a row down etc. etc. etc.
the bug can go 1/2048th of a row down etc. etc. etc.
the bug can go 1/4096th of a row down etc. etc. etc.
etc. etc. etc.
etc. etc. etc.
Infinitelyy closer to point A and also infinitely distant from point A without ever reaching B
And we haven't even began speaking of the infinfinitestances ACROSS.
But looking at it this from another perspective.. a circle is merely an infinite number of triangles ranging from the extremely acute to the extremely (or infinitely) obtuse.
Infinite.
