Tony notes that an electronics store is offering a flat $20 off all prices in the store. Tony reasons that if he wants to buy so

mething with a price of $50, then it is a good offer, but if he wants to buy something with a price of $500, then it is not a good offer. This is an example of: the proper application of the Cost-Benefit Principle. inconsistent reasoning because prices are sunk costs. rational choice because saving 40% is better than saving 4%. inconsistent reasoning; saving $20 is saving $20.

Answer:

inconsistent reasoning; saving $20 is saving $20.

Step-by-step explanation:

When we buy something for $ 50 we save $ 20 which is

20/50 * 100= 2/5* 100= 0.4*100= 40 %

When we buy something for $ 500 and save $ 20 it means that we are saving

20/500 * 100= 2/50* 100= 0.04*100= 4 %

Now if we compare 40 % to 4 % we can ourselves see that there is a difference of 36 % which is large enough to drop out the high priced items.

There is inconsistent reasoning for discount pricing.

So it is  inconsistent reasoning;   that only $ 20 can be saved on all items no matter what the prices are .

The offer is beneficial for only good for low priced items.

\huge{\color{magenta}{\fbox{\textsf{\textbf{Answer}}}}}

\frak {\huge{ \frac{1}{1 +  {x}^{2} } }}

Step-by-step explanation:

\sf let \: f(x) =  { \tan }^{ - 1} x \\  \\  \sf f(x + h) =  { \tan}^{ - 1} (x + h)

\sf f'(x) =  \frac{f(x+h)  - f(x) }{h}

\sf \implies \lim_{  h \to 0  } \frac{ { \tan }^{ - 1}(x + h) -  { \tan}^{ - 1}x  }{h}  \\  \\  \\  \sf  \implies  \lim_ {h \to 0}    \frac{  { \tan}^{ - 1} \frac{x + h - x}{1 + (x + h)x} }{h}

By using

\sf { \tan}^{ - 1} x -  { \tan}^{ - 1} y   = \\   \sf { \tan}^{ - 1}  \frac{x - y}{1 + xy} formula

\sf  \implies  \large \lim_{h \to0 }   \frac{  { \tan}^{ - 1}  \frac{h}{1 + hx +  {x}^{2} } }{h}  \\  \\  \\  \sf  \implies   \large{\lim_{h \to0}   } \frac{ { \tan}^{ - 1}  \frac{h}{1 + hx +  {x}^{2} } }{ \frac{h}{1 + hx  +  {x}^{2} }  \times (1 + hx +  {x}^{2} )}  \\  \\  \\  \sf  \implies \large  \lim_{h \to0} \frac{ { \tan}^{ - 1} \frac{h}{1 + hx +  {x}^{2} }  }{ \frac{h}{1 + hx +  {x}^{2} } }  +  \lim_{h \to0} \frac{1}{1 + hx +  {x}^{2} }

<u>Now</u><u> </u><u>putting</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>value</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>h</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>0</u>

<u>\sf  \large  \implies 0 +  \frac{1}{1 + 0 +  {x}^{2} }  \\  \\  \\  \purple{ \boxed  { \implies  \frac{1}{1 +  {x}^{2} } }}</u>

Problem 3
stich3 [128]
In the step after -6x+10=4x+20, he moved the terms incorrectly. you have to add 6x to both sides so it would be 10=4x+6x+20 which simplifies to 10=10x+20. subtract 20 from both sides to get -10=10x. divide both sides by 10. the answer is x=-1

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

B would be (-1, -2)

C would be (-1, 1)

A would be (-4, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The ordered pairs are affected by the y value. The X value stays the same since you didn't move the shape any to the right or left. The y values went down three on all of the points because you moved the whole shape down three spots.

I hope this helps! Please mark as brainliest! Just ask if you need anymore help! :D Good Luck!
