The order of division determines the numerator and the denominator and this can effect the value. And example of this:
3/2 = 1.5
2/3 = 0.6667
Whereas, multiplication is not affected by the order:
2 x 3 = 6
3 x 2 = 6

Division is not associative, as if you look at one of the operands to a nest of divisions, the result will vary either in proportion to it or inversely to it depending on whether it's to the right of an odd or even number of divisions. And the basic associative law changes the number of operations the rightmost operand is to the right of by 1.

If employees who make more money pay a higher percentage of their income
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

C. progressive taxation

Step-by-step explanation:

Taxation can be defined as the involuntary or compulsory fees levied on individuals or business entities by the government to generate revenues used for funding public institutions and activities.

There are three (3) types of taxation used by the government, these are;

1. Regressive taxation: it involves charging individuals with low incomes a higher percentage of their total income and vice-versa.

- For instance, John pays 15% on $60,000 and Joyce pays 20% on $36,000.

2. Proportional taxation: it involves charging both lower and higher income earners equally in proportion to their income.

- For instance, John pays 20% on $50,000 and Joyce pays 20% on $36,000.

3. Progressive taxation: it involves charging individuals having higher incomes a higher percentage of their total income.

- For instance, John pays 30% on $70,000 and Joyce pays 10% on $45.000.

Hence, if employees who make more money pay a higher percentage of their income to the government, this is known as progressive taxation.

Math homework help exponents
Len [333]

Answer + Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{5^{10}}{5^{5}} =5^{10-5} = 5^5

\text{used property :} \  \  \  \frac{a^{m}}{a^{n}} =a^{m-n}

_______________________

(4^8)^3 = a^{8 \times 3}=a^{24}

\text{used property :} \  \  \  (a^n)^m = a^{n \times m}

_______________________

10^{-4}=\frac{1}{10^{4}} \  \text{not} \  \frac{1}{4^{10}}

_______________________

15⁶ × 15³ = 15⁶⁺³ = 15⁹

_______________________

<u>Recall</u> : If a ≠0  ⇒ a⁰ = 1

Then

Since 6⁸ ≠ 0  ⇒ (6⁸)⁰ = 1

What is the general form of the equation for the given circle centered at o (0,0) (4,5)?
charle [14.2K]
The general equation of the circle is expressed as (x-h)2 + (y-k)2 = r2 where (h,k) is the center of the circle. we are are given the center of the circle at (0,0) so the expression is simplified to <span>(x)2 + (y)2 = r2. given the other point, r2 is equal to 41. hence the final equation is x2 + y2 = 41</span>
