Question

If a and b are both integers and b does not equal 0, then -(a/b) = (-a)/b = a/(-b) Choose two values for a and b. see if those values make the equation true

Answer 1

a=4 , b=3  These values make the equation true .

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have , If a and b are both integers and b does not equal 0, then -(a/b) = (-a)/b = a/(-b) Choose two values for a and b. We need to find if those values make the equation true . Let's find out:

We have the following equation:

-(a/b) = (-a)/b = a/(-b) , Let a=4 , b=3 , So

⇒ $-(a/b) = (-a)/b = a/(-b)$

⇒ $-\frac{a}{b} = \frac{-a}{b} = \frac{a}{-b}$

⇒ $-\frac{4}{3} = \frac{-4}{3} = \frac{4}{-3}$

⇒ $-\frac{4(-1)}{3} = \frac{-4(-1)}{3} = \frac{4(-1)}{-3}$                   { Multiplying by -1 }

⇒ $\frac{4}{3} = \frac{4}{3} = \frac{4}{3}$

Therefore , These values make the equation true .
