Part A:
Given that <span>A presidential candidate plans to begin her campaign by visiting the capitals in 4 of 50 states.
The number of ways of selecting the route of 4 specific capitals is given by
Therefore, the probability that she selects the route of four specific capitals is
Part B:
</span>
<span>The number of ways of selecting the route of 4 specific capitals is 5,527,200.
Since </span><span>the number of ways of selecting the route of 4 specific capitals is too large it is not practical to list all of the different possible routes in order to select the one that is best.
Therefore, "</span><span>No, it is not practical to list all of the different possible routes because the number of possible permutations is very large."</span>

So to find x we need to add both HI and IJ - which we know equals 7:
Then we need to combine like terms:
And then set equal to 0:
Then we can factor:
So then when we set each term equal to 0 individually and solve for x we get: x = -5 and x = -2.
So we have these two values - we need to test which one is correct. So if we go back to the HI segment, let's try plugging in x = -5:
This gives us a negative number, which we know that length cannot be negative. Let's try x = -2:
This gives us a positive length and therefore we can keep this value.
So the answer is: x = -2.
