Assuming the order does not matter, you want the number of combinations of 9 things taken 5 at a time.  The combinations can be shown as C(9,5), 9C5.

C(9, 5) =
9/5(9-5) = 
9*8*7*6*5 / 5*4 

The 5 terms cancel. 

9*8*7*6 / 4*3*2 = 
9*7*2 = 
126

The above change is because 4*2 cancels the 8 in the numerator and 6/3 = 2
Therefore, the solution is 126.

Find the inverse of the following function. Then prove they are inverses of one another.
solmaris [256]

Answer: \dfrac{x^2+1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x)=\sqrt{2x-1}

We can write it as

\Rightarrow y=\sqrt{2x-1}

Express x in terms of y

\Rightarrow y^2=2x-1\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{y^2+1}{2}

Replace y be x to get the inverse

\Rightarrow f^{-1}(x)=\dfrac{x^2+1}{2}

To prove, it is inverse of f(x). f(f^{-1}(x))=x

\Rightarrow f(f^{-1}(x))=\sqrt{2\times \dfrac{x^2+1}{2}-1}\\\\\Rightarrow f(f^{-1}(x))=\sqrt{x^2+1-1}\\\\\Rightarrow f(f^{-1}(x))=x

So, they are inverse of each other.
