Rational numbers are fractions or their opposites. is a rational number. Show this by writing it in the form , where a and b are integers. plz help

Explained below

Step-by-step explanation:

A rational number is one that can be expressed in form a of a fraction whereby both the numerator and the denominator are integers.

Also, if it results in a recurring decimal it is still a rational number but if the decimal is not recurring, then it is not a rational number.

Now, for example let's consider the number 5.

It is a rational number because it can be expressed as; 5/1; 10/2; 20/4; -5/-1 e.t.c

Now, the opposite of these fractions like we are told to check in the question results in;

1/5; 2/10; 4/20; -1/-5;

The opposite will give us still a rational number because both numerator and denominator are still integers and also the value of the division is 0.2 which is a definite decimal and also can be expressed as an integer.

answer: b. f(x) = (x + 2)^3 (x^2 - 7x + 3)^4

step-by-step explanation:

polynomials always have as many roots as their order. this is a 4th order polynomial- hence 4 roots!

complex roots of polynomials always come in pairs. the quadratic equation has the "+/-" in that will alwaysgenerate m+ni amd m-ni, so 7-2i must be a root of this polynomial equation.

the order of the numerator and denominator are both 2. so the horizontal asymptote is y=a2/b2 =7

verticle asymptotes are the forbidden x-values. f(x) becomes undefined at x=-3 because this value will cause a zero denominator.

a graph of r(x) will have vertical asymptotes at ±1 because these values will make the denominator zero. so the domain of the function cannot include ±1.
