Concept explainers
Explain how generating functions can be used to find the number of ways in which postage of r cents can be pasted on an envelope using 2-cent, 7-cent, 13- cent, and 32-cent stamps.
a) Assume that the order the stamps are pasted on does not matter.
b) Assume that the order the stamps are pasted on matters.
c) Use your answer to part (a) to determine the number of ways 49 cents of postage can be pasted on an envelope using 2-cent, 7-cent, 13-cents and 32- cent stamps when the order the stamps are pasted on does not matter. (Use of a computer algebra program is advised.)
d) Use your answer to part (b) to determine the number of ways 49 cents of postage can be pasted on an envelope using 2-cent, 7-cent, 13-cent, and 32-cent stamps when the order in which the stamps are pasted on matters. (Use of a computer algebra program is advised.)
