Step 1
However, I'll guide you through a general approach to solving such problems based on common graph theory concepts. Assuming we're dealing with a directed or undirected graph, the terms "paths", "trells" (which seems to be a typo or a term not commonly used in Show more…

Consider the following graph. A graph with 3 vertices and 5 edges is shown. Vertex a is connected to vertex b by edge e1, by edge e2, by edge e3, and by edge e4. Vertex b is connected to vertex a by edge e1, by edge e2, by edge e3, and by edge e4 and to vertex c by edge e5. Vertex c is connected to vertex b by edge e5. (a) How many paths are there from a to c? (b) How many trails are there from a to c? (c) How many walks are there from a to c?

Use Exercise 37 to prove Theorem $4 .[\text { Hint: Count the }$ number of paths with $n$ steps of the type described in Exercise $37 .$ Every such path must end at one of the points $(n-k, k)$ for $k=0,1,2, \ldots, n . ]$
