Answer: 1 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The following is a “proof” that one equals zero.

Consider two non-zero numbers x and y such that

x = y.

Then x2 = xy.

Subtract the same thing from both sides:

x2 – y2 = xy – y2.

Dividing by (x-y), obtain

x + y = y.

Since x = y, we see that

2 y = y.

Thus 2 = 1, since we started with y nonzero.

Subtracting 1 from both sides,

Answer:

Yes, one does equal to zero

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider two non-zero numbers x and y such that

x = y. 

Then x2 = xy. 

Subtract the same thing from both sides: 

x^2 – y^2= xy – y^2.

Dividing by (x-y), obtain 

x + y = y. 

Since x = y, we see that 

2 y = y. 

Thus 2 = 1, since we started with y nonzero. 

Subtracting 1 from both sides, 

1 = 0.

I am not good at explaining this type of question. so I copied and pasted the explanation part. I hope this helps

In order for the data in the table to represent a linear function with a rate of change of +5, what must be the value of m?
katen-ka-za [31]
<span>The table to represent a linear function with a rate of change of +5
</span>
so, m = 13 + 5 = 18

The correct answer is option 3 ⇒ <span>m = 18
</span>
========================================
another solution :
The table represents a linear function
the general equation of the linear function is ⇒ y = ax+b
where a is the slope and b is constant
By using the first and the third points from table to find the equation of the linear function
at x = 3  ⇒ y = 13   and   at x = 5 ⇒ y = 23
∴ 13 = 3a+b → (1)

23 = 5a+b → (2)
solve (1) and (2) to find a and b
So,  a = 5  and b = -2
∴ y = 5x - 2

After that by substitution with x = 4 int the equation of y
∴ y = 5*4-2 = 18

∴ m = 18
