The graphs of the equations y = x - 1 and y = (x - 1)4 are shown in the standard (x,y) coordinate plane below. What real values of x, if any, satisfy the inequality (x-1)<(x-1)? y=(x-1)4 y=x-1
A. No real values
B. x <0 and x > 1
C. x <1 and x>2
D. 0<x<1
E. 1<x<2
A. No real values.
In the inequality (x-1)<(x-1), if we simplify it, we get 0<0 which is not possible. This means that there are no real values of x that satisfy this inequality.
