$2x-5-\dfrac{x-8}{x+4}=\dfrac{(2x-5)(x+4)}{x+4}-\dfrac{x-8}{x+4}\\\\=\dfrac{(2x)(x)+(2x)(4)+(-5)(x)+(-5)(4)-x-(-8)}{x+4}\\\\=\dfrac{2x^2+8x-5x-20-x+8}{x+4}=\dfrac{2x^2+2x-12}{x+4}$

What is the value of f(4) + f(7)

tatyana61 [14]

Is there more to this problem? By saying f(4), you'd be inputting a 4 for every variable x. There is not enough info here to answer the question.

In a shipment of 56 vials, only 13 do not have hairline cracks. If you randomly select 3 vials from the shipment, in how many wa

Elden [556K]

Answer: 27434

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Total number of vials = 56

Number of vials that do not have hairline cracks = 13

Then, Number of vials that have hairline cracks =56-13=43

Since , order of selection is not mattering here , so we combinations to find the number of ways.

The number of combinations of m thing r things at a time is given by :-

$^nC_r=\dfrac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}$

Now, the number of ways to select at least one out of 3 vials have a hairline crack will be :-

$^{13}C_2\cdot ^{43}C_{1}+^{13}C_{1}\cdot ^{43}C_{2}+^{13}C_0\cdot ^{43}C_{3}\\\\=\dfrac{13!}{2!(13-2)!}\cdot\dfrac{43!}{1!(42)!}+\dfrac{13!}{1!(12)!}\cdot\dfrac{43!}{2!(41)!}+\dfrac{13!}{0!(13)!}\cdot\dfrac{43!}{3!(40)!}\\\\=\dfrac{13\times12\times11!}{2\times11!}\cdot (43)+(13)\cdot\dfrac{43\times42\times41!}{2\times41!}+(1)\dfrac{43\times42\times41\times40!}{6\times40!}\\\\=3354+11739+12341=27434$

Hence, the required number of ways =27434

Figure b is a scaled copy of figure a. help?

Natalka [10]

The scale factor is 4 because if you multiply 4 to all the number on figure A it will equal to figure Bs numbers(sorry if it doesn’t makes sense)
