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.

Given that f(x)=x^2-4x -3 and g(x)=x+3/4 solve for f(g(x)) when x=9
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

f(g(9)) = 945/16

Step-by-step explanation:

To find f(g(x)), you have to substitute g(x) wherever there is an x in f(x).

g(x) = x + 3/4

f(x) = x² - 4x - 3

f(g(x)) = (x + 3/4)² - 4(x + 3/4) - 3

f(g(x)) = x² + 3/2x + 9/16 - 4x + 3 - 3

f(g(x)) = x² - 5/2x + 9/16 + 3 - 3

f(g(x)) = x² - 5/2x + 9/16

Now, put a 9 wherever there is an x in f(g(x)).

f(g(9)) = (9)² - 5/2(9) + 9/16

f(g(9)) = 81 - 5/2(9) + 9/16

f(g(9)) = 81 - 45/2 + 9/16

f(g(9)) = 117/2 + 9/16

f(g(9)) = 945/16
