In the game of dominoes, each piece is marked with two numbers. The pieces are symmetrical so that the number pair is not ordered (so, for example, (2,6) = (6,2)). How many different pieces can be formed using the numbers 1,2,...,n? (Answer: n(n + 1)/2)

How many different dominoes can be formed from the numbers $0 \ldots 6 ?$ (Hint: A domino may have the same number of dots on both halves of it or it may have a different number of dots on each half.)

A (one-sided) marked domino is a piece consisting of two squares joined along an edge, where each square on one side of the piece is marked with 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 dots. The two squares of a marked domino may receive the same number of dots. (a) Use Theorem 14.2.3 to determine the number of different marked dominoes. (b) How many different marked dominoes are there if we are allowed to mark the squares with 0, 1, ..., p - 1, or p dots?
