Answer:

f(3) = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

when we have f(x) that means function of any number. when we have a number in that function we plug it in our equation for all X's. Therefore, when we have f(3) we plug it in to all X's which looks like this

$f(3) = \frac{2 \times 2 + 5}{(3 - 2)} = 9$

notice how I multiplied at the top first. you also want to apply the rules of PEMDAS.

Hope this helps!

What is the equation of the line that passes through the points (-2,2) and (0,5)

gregori [183]

$\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
% (a,b)
&({{ -2}}\quad ,&{{ 2}})\quad 
% (c,d)
&({{ 0}}\quad ,&{{ 5}})
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope = m
slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 
\cfrac{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}\implies \cfrac{5-2}{0-(-2)}\implies \cfrac{5-2}{0+2}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{3}{2}$

$\bf y-{{ y_1}}={{ m}}(x-{{ x_1}})\implies y-2=\cfrac{3}{2}(x-(-2))\\
\left. \qquad \right. \uparrow\\
\textit{point-slope form}
\\\\\\
y-2=\cfrac{3}{2}(x+2)\implies y-2=\cfrac{3}{2}x+3\implies y=\cfrac{3}{2}x+3+2
\\\\\\
y=\cfrac{3}{2}x+5$

How many different ways can 3 singers be selected from 5 who came to an audition

abruzzese [7]

This is known as "5 take 3", where ordering is not important.

$\binom{5}{3} = \frac{5!}{3!(5-3)!} = \frac{120}{6\cdot2} = 10$
