If you have a rational number a/b, when b goes to 0, a/b goes to infinity, and people don't know how to deal infinities yet!
If the denominators (bottom numbers) are not equal, making equivalent fractions of them so that the denominators are equal. With the denominators equal if the numerators (top numbers) are equal, then the fractions are equal.
Rational expressions are fractions and are therefore undefined if the denominator is zero; the domain of a rational function is all real numbers except those that make the denominator of the related rational expression equal to 0. If a denominator contains variables, set it equal to zero and solve.
I think it says a little more than that. b, the denominator of the rational number a/b, cannot be equal to zero because division by zero is undefined.
They do not. There is no relationship between rational numbers and rational decisions.
Rational numbers can be expressed in the form p/q (where q is not equal to zero). Irrational numbers cannot be expressed in this form. For example, the square root of 2 cannot be expressed as p/q.
The denominator of any number cannot be zero because division by zero is not defined.
irrational
Another name for 'rational' is "numbers that are equal to the ratio of two whole numbers". Another name for 'irrational' is "numbers that are not equal to the ratio of any two whole numbers".
A rational number is a number that can be written in the form a/b, where "a" and "b" are integers and b is not equal to zero. For example, whole numbers are rational numbers.
Multiply the denominators to equal numbers, then multiply by the same number for the numerator. Then solve.
It cannot be zero.
Rational numbers are represented in the form of p/q , where p is an integer and q is not equal to 0.Every natural number, whole number and integer can be represented as rational number.For example take the case of integer -3, it can be represented in the form of p/q as -3/1 and q is not equal to zero, which means that rational numbers consist of counting numbers, whole numbers and integers.Now, what will be the result of product of any two rational numbers?Let us take the case of two rational numbers which are x/y & w/z, their product is equal toxw/yz, which is a rational number because multiplication of x and w results in an integer and also multiplication of y and z results in an integer which satisfies the property of rational numbers, which is in the form of p/q.So, product of any two rational numbers is a rational number.
