Let $${x_n}$$ denote the number of binary strings of length $$n$$ that contain no consecutive $$0s$$.

The value of $${x_5}$$ is

In how many ways can $$b$$ blue balls and $$r$$ red balls be distributed in $$n$$ distinct boxes?

The following system of equations
$${x_1}\, + \,{x_2}\, + 2{x_3}\, = 1$$
$${x_1}\, + \,2 {x_2}\, + 3{x_3}\, = 2$$
$${x_1}\, + \,4{x_2}\, + a{x_3}\, = 4$$ has a unique solution. The only possible value (s) for $$\alpha $$ is/are
