Title: Complementation matrix, how many complementation groups?
Post by: papitoahlstrom on Feb 2, 2015
I'm not really looking for anyone to just give me the answer because we're going to get the answer in class, but if someone could try to explain how to derive the answer that'd be great. We haven't been lectured on this material yet and the book doesn't really explain how to do it. Thanks!

Based off of the logic from those answers, I got 4 complementation groups for my problem and the groups are:
white and apricot
white and buff
white and cherry
white and eosin

Is this right?

To be honest, I haven't looked. Did the resources help any?

Kinda, not really. They don't explain how to solve this sort of problem. Just gives a similar problem and the straight up answer. I kind of inferred and guessed at how they got their answer, so that's how I derived mine lol

True, the same with me. Try this lecture...
