Step-by-step explanation:
Combinatory means combination or arrangement of different elements.
If we have n total elements and we want to find in how many ways we can select x we can use this general formula:

Where 
a. How many different ways can four pieces be selected from the 12 colored pieces?
For this case we have:
ways
b. How many different ways can two orange pieces be selected from five orange pieces?
For this case we have:
ways
c. How many different ways can two brown pieces be selected from seven brown pieces?
For this case we have:
ways
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
The exponential function h, represented in the table, can be written as 
From table, at x=0, h(x) =10
Put theses values in equation,, we get

Also, for x= 1 , h(x) = 4, so put these values and a=10 in the equation , we get

Put value of a and b in the equation ,
→ Required equation.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
(9m + 4)² - (9m - 4)² ← expand both factors using FOIL
= 81m² + 72m + 16 - (81m² - 72m + 16) ← distribute parenthesis by - 1
= 81m² + 72m + 16 - 81m² + 72m - 16 ← collect like terms
= 144m
= 72(2m)
which is divisible by 72 for all m
