The sweater has a 20% decrease in price.

Here's the math:
$20 - $16 =$4
$4 / $20 =.2
.2= 20%

Percent change=change/original times 100

change=20-16=4
original=20

change=4/20 times 100=0.2 times 100=20

answer is 20%

The assumption of the inductive step is not correct. If $\mathrm{max}(x,y)=2$ , for instance, it's entirely possible that $x=1$ and $y=2$ .

How do I find the restrictions on x if there are any? <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7Bx%20-%201%7D%20%20%3

Natali5045456 [20]

We have the expression:

$\frac{1}{x - 1}=\frac{5}{x - 10}$

When we have rational functions, where the denominator is a function of x, we have a restriction for the domain for any value of x that makes the denominator equal to 0.

That is because if the denominator is 0, then we have a function f(x) that is a division by zero and is undefined.

If we have a value that makes f(x) to be undefined, then this value of x does not belong to the domain of f(x).

Expression:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{x-1}=\frac{5}{x-10} \\ \frac{x-1}{1}=\frac{x-10}{5} \\ x-1=\frac{x}{5}-\frac{10}{5} \\ x-1=\frac{1}{5}x-2 \\ x-\frac{1}{5}x=-2+1 \\ \frac{4}{5}x=-1 \\ x=-1\cdot\frac{5}{4} \\ x=-\frac{5}{4} \end{gathered}$

Answer: There is no restriction for x in the expression.

Whats the answer to 2y^0-(3y)^0

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question, we need to that any number (except zero) raised to power 0 is equal to 1. With that in mind, let's solve this:

2y^0 - (3y)^0

= 2(1) - (1)

= <u>1</u>
