Any number that can be rewritten as a simple fraction is a rational number. This means that natural numbers, whole numbers and integers, like 5, are all part of the set of rational numbers as well because they can be written as fractions, as are mixed numbers like 1 ½.
Explanation
to solve this we need to translate into math terms, so
Step 1
a) let d represents the number of dimes
let n represents the number of nickles
so
re write the expressions

The number of nickels is three more than seven times the number of dimes in other words you have to add 7 to seven times the number of dimes to obtain the number of nickles
hence

therefore , the expression for the number of nickles is

Swap x and y's positions
f(x) is another way of saying y, so basically tha initial function is y = 1-2x^3.
Change it up to x = 1-2y^3 and solve for y
X - 1 = - 2y^3
(X - 1)/-2 = y^3
So the cube root of ((x-1)/2) = y
