Find a recurrence relation for the number of ways to
arrange n distinct objects in a row.

Always start by assuming what is an.

Let an denote the number of arrangements of n distinct
objects.
There are n choices for the first object in the row. This
choice can be followed by any arrangement of the
remaining n −1 objects; that is, by the an−1 arrangements
of the remaining n −1 objects.
Thus an = nan−1.

Find a recurrence relation for the number of binary
sequences of length n with no consecutive 0’s.

an = an-1 + an-2 with initial conditions a0 = 1 (empty

sequence) and a1 = 2.
