Answer:

√a(√a + 2)          a - 2√a

----------------- = -----------------

    a - 4                a - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

I am assuming that by "sqrt(a)/sqrt(a)-2" you meant:

√a

----------

√a - 2

To rationalize the denom., multiply numerator and denom. of this fraction by the conjugate of √a - 2, which is √a + 2:

√a(√a + 2)

gavmur [86]

Answer:

B. Function.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a set. We are asked to choose the correct option about the given set.

We know that a set represents a relation, when each x value corresponds to a y-value. In a relation one x-coordinate can have more than one y-values.

We know that a set represents a function, where each x-value corresponds to exactly one y-value.

Two different value can have same y-value to be a function.

We can see that each value of x corresponds to exactly one y-value. The value of y is 2 for all value of x, therefore, all points lie on a horizontal line y=2.

Therefore, our given set a function.
