this topology is very economical like bus topology because it doesn't required a number of I\O ports to connect node and doesn't required several kinds of multiplexing devices to manage.

Only the formula required is for mesh topology. i.e. The number of connections in a full mesh = n(n - 1) / 2.
You are confused. Your fax machine does not have a phone number. You must conect it to a phone line to use the machine. The phone number is whatever phone line you connect to your machine.
15 usually but it can change over time
If you connect your printer/fax combination machine to your phone line, yes, it would be your home number. Which means people that call your house will get the fax machine.
There are number of LAN technologies and each technology is classified into a category according to its topology , two such topologies are star and ring topology. In star topology ,The hub accepts data from a sender and delivers it to receiver, there is no security in star topology . In Ring topology Computers are connected in a circle- the first computer is cabled with the second computer.
The topology that is chosen depends on a number of factors, including:cost/budgetlength of the networkscalability and future expansion plansInfrastructure and current cabling requirementsProtocols used
star network + guide to networks pg 105 Whoever answered that is a fool. Edition number? Yeah, guess you forgot. I have edition 5 here and that answer is not on page 105 or close to it either.
Topology choices are based on a number of factors, including scalability (how many new clients can one add), to budget (cost). There is no one single answer to which one to use. In some cases even a hybrid (combination) topology for a network may be necessary.
Topology answers the question about how a network is physically wired. It also places constraints on the number of clients and how they are connected, not to mention the distances between systems. So knowing the topology in use gives the network technician an idea of limitations and growth potentials, not to mention troubleshooting.
You connect the fax machine to the phone line - the same type of phone line that the phone is connected to. If you want to use the same phone jack, you may need to either get a phone line splitter, or some phones have an "extension" so that another line can be added to a phone.
