restriction of
x/x-y
ANSWER: would x be 1 and y be 0??
x-y can't equal 0.
thanks :)
To find the restriction of the expression x/(x-y), we need to determine any values of x and y that would make the expression undefined.
In this case, the expression x/(x-y) will be undefined when the denominator (x-y) equals zero. This is because division by zero is undefined in mathematics.
So, to find the restriction, we need to solve the equation (x-y) = 0 for values of x and y that satisfy this equation.
Solving for x, we have x = y.
This means that any values of x and y that satisfy x = y will make the expression x/(x-y) undefined.
Therefore, the restriction of x/(x-y) is x ≠ y. In other words, x and y cannot be equal in order for the expression to be defined.
With this restriction, x can be any value as long as it is not equal to y. For example, when x = 1 and y = 0, the expression is defined and evaluates to 1/1 = 1.
