What's wrong with this argument? Suppose \(x\) and \(y\) represent two real numbers, where \(x>y .\) $$\begin{aligned} &2>1\\\ &2(y-x)>1(y-x)\\\ &2 y-2 x>y-x\\\ &\begin{aligned} y-2 x &>-x \\ y &>x \end{aligned} \end{aligned}$$ The final inequality, \(y>x,\) is impossible because we were initially given \(x>y\)
Perform the indicated operations. $$(x-y)^{-1}+(x-y)^{-2}$$
