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!

How do you know when two fractions are equal?

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.


Why​ can't the denominators of rational expressions be​ zero How can we find the domain of a rational​ function?

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.


Why does the definition of rational numbers state that b the denominator of the rational number ab cannot be equal?

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.


How do rational numbers equal rational decisions?

They do not. There is no relationship between rational numbers and rational decisions.


Difference between rational and irrational?

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.


Why in rational numbers q is not equal to 0?

The denominator of any number cannot be zero because division by zero is not defined.


Is 18 rational or irrational?

irrational


What is anouther name for rational and irrational numbers?

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".


What are rational numbers and how are they used?

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.


What If the denominator is not the same?

Multiply the denominators to equal numbers, then multiply by the same number for the numerator. Then solve.


What can the denominator of a rational expression never equal?

It cannot be zero.


Why is the product of any two rational numbers a rational number?

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.
