Try these first

1. 1.

   What defines a strictly increasing sequence?

   Hint

   Think about how numbers relate to each other.

2. 2.

   If given a sequence of numbers from 1 to 5, how many strictly increasing sequences can you form?

   Hint

   Consider combinations including different numbers.

3. 3.

   What is the initial term of the recurrence relation?

   Hint

   Reflect on what you need to establish for the equation.

4. 4.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Think about the limits imposed on sequence beginnings.

5. 5.

   Calculate how many valid sequences can be formed from the numbers 1 to 6, explaining each step.

   Hint

   Refer back to the recurrence relations you've established.

6. 6.

   Determine real-world applications where this counting can be crucial in business practices.

   Hint
