$\binom{3}{4}$

\binom{3}{4}

$\stackrel{3}{4}$

$\frac{5 - \frac{1}{x}}{4}$

\frac{5 - \frac{1}{x}}{4}

Using parenthesis properly

$(\frac{5 - \frac{1}{x}}{4})$

(\frac{5 - \frac{1}{x}}{4})

Notice how the parenthesis do not properly wrap the object inside. To address this, use the \left and \right qualifiers in front of your parenthesis.

$\left(\frac{5 - \frac{1}{x}}{4}\right)$

\left(\frac{5 - \frac{1}{x}}{4}\right)
