Hey! Your rational number would be 
X^2 - 8x-9=0
D = b^2- 4*a*c = 64- 4* (-9) = 64+36=100 =10^2
X1 = (8-10)/2 = -1
X2= (8+10)/2= 9
Answer:
y = 9√3
x = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
taking 30 as reference angle
b = y
p = 9
h = x
so
tan30 = p/b
1/√3 = 9/b
or, b = 9√3
so
1) you would need to turn both fractions so they have a common denominator, that would be 2 2/4 and 3/4
2) then subtract : 2 2/4 - 3/4, and you would subtract numerators and the whole number, but you keep the denominator the same. However, you cannot subtract 2 and 3 in this case, so you need to change 2 2/4 to 1 5/4 (they are still equivalent)
3) 1 5/4 - 3/4 = 1 2/4, which simplified version is 1 1/2
Therefore, the answer is 1 and 1/2
