A gardener has ten different potted plants, and they are spraying the plants with doses offertilizers. Plants can receive zero or more doses in a session. In the following, we count eachpossible number of doses the ten plants can receive (the order of spraying in a session doesnot matter).
How many ways are there to do two sessions of spraying, where each plant receives atmost two doses total?
