[b]p5.[/b] Professor Beatrix Quirky has many multi-volume sets of books on her shelves. When she places a numbered set of $n$ books on her shelves, she doesn’t necessarily place them in order with book $1$ on the left and book $n$ on the right. Any volume can be placed at the far left. The only rule is that, except the leftmost volume, each volume must have a volume somewhere to its left numbered either one more or one less. For example, with a series of six volumes, Professor Quirky could place them in the order $123456$, or $324561$, or $564321$, but not $321564$ (because neither $4$ nor $6$ is to the left of $5$). Let’s call a sequence of numbers a [i]quirky [/i] sequence of length $n$ if: 1. the sequence contains each of the numbers from $1$ to $n$, once each, and 2. if $k$ is not the first term of the sequence, then either $k + 1$ or $k - 1$ occurs somewhere before $k$ in the sequence. Let $q_n$ be the number of quirky sequences of length $n$. For example, $q_3 = 4$ since the quirky sequences of length $3$ are $123$, $213$, $231$, and $321$. a. List all quirky sequences of length $4$. b. Find an explicit formula for $q_n$. Prove that your formula is correct. PS. You should use hide for answers.
