A confused cockroach is initially at vertex of a cube with edges measuring meter, as shown in the figure. Every second, the cockroach moves meter, always choosing to go to one of the three adjacent vertices to its current position. For example, after second, the cockroach could stop at vertex , , or .(a) In how many ways can the cockroach stop at vertex after seconds?
(b) Is it possible for the cockroach to stop at vertex A after exactly seconds?
(c) In how many ways can the cockroach stop at A after exactly seconds?Note: One way for the cockroach to stop at a vertex after a certain number of seconds differs from another way if, at some point, the cockroach is at different vertices in the trajectory. For example, there are ways for the cockroach to stop at after seconds: one of them passes through , , , and the other through , , .https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/954427908359876608/1299721377124847616/Screenshot_2024-10-16_173123.png?ex=671e3b5b&is=671ce9db&hm=76962ee2949d8324c2f7022ef63f8b7d3c6fe3aabf4ecf526f44249439f204ac&
