7. You are given a sequence of letters x1x2 . . . xn where each xi ∈ {a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h}. You can form a new sequence from the given sequence as follows. Start with x1. Place xm+1 either to the left or to the right of the sequence already built from x1x2 . . . xm. For instance, from dcbeb you can form ecdbb through the steps d → cd → cdb → ecdb → ecdbb and bbcde through the steps d → cd → bcd → bcde → bbcde.
