Question 1
Given the sequence [1, 1, -1, -1, 1], identify the first negative partial sum and reflect it. What does the new sequence look like?
💡 Hint: Draw the partial sums to visualize.
Question 2
Consider a sequence with 4 1s and 4 -1s. What would be the total valid sequences using the reflection method without calculating directly?
💡 Hint: Remember the derived formula for valid sequences we discussed!
