Answer:
21+/-sqrt(253)=x
So one value for x is 21+sqrt(253)
and another is 21-sqrt(253)
Problem:
Given (21,7) and (x,1), find all x such that the distance between these two points is 17.
Step-by-step explanation:
Change in x is x-21
Change in y is 7-1=6
distance^2=(change in x)^2+(change in y)^2
17^2=(x-21)^2+(6)^2
289=(x-21)^2+36
Subtract 36 on both sides:
289-36=(x-21)^2
253=(x-21)^2
Take square root of both sides:
+/-sqrt(253)=x-21
Add 21 on both sides:
21+/-sqrt(253)=x
There are 
ways of drawing a 4-card hand, where
is the so-called binomial coefficient.
There are 13 different card values, of which we want the hand to represent 4 values, so there are 
ways of meeting this requirement.
For each card value, there are 4 choices of suit, of which we only pick 1, so there are 
ways of picking a card of any given value. We draw 4 cards from the deck, so there are 
possible hands in which each card has a different value.
Then there are 
total hands in which all 4 cards have distinct values, and the probability of drawing such a hand is
The gemstone has 22 edges.
We use Euler's formula on this:
F + V - E = 2
Substituting our information, we have:
14 + 10 - E = 2
Combining like terms,
24 - E = 2
Subtract 24 from both sides:
24 - E - 24 = 2 - 24
-E = -22
Divide both sides by -1:
-E/-1 = -22/-1
E = 22
No no no no no no no no no no no no
The inverse of this function is y = x - 
You can find the inverse of any function by switching the x and y values and then solving for the new y value. Once you've done that, what will be left over is the inverse function.
y = 
----> Swap x and y
x = -----> Subtract 3/4 from both sides.
x - = y ----> rearrange to appropriate order
y = x -
And that is your inverse function.
