Rational numbers can be written as a fraction. They can be integers, whole numbers, natural numbers, repeating decimals, terminating decimals and obviously fractions. Irrational numbers can not be written as a fraction. They are usually non terminating non repeating decimals (like Pi).

Well, the answer to this question would be: A rational number both the numerator and the denominator are whole numbers, but the denominator is not equal to zero. Whereas a irrational number cannot be written in a fraction. Not to mention, a irrational number cannot be expressed in a ratio with two integers. though, I'm no math whizz, I'm 100% sure this is correct :)

I hope this helps, please mark brainliest if it did, thank you and have a AMAZING day! :D

Jessica shoebox is 20 cm long and 10 cm wide. How many more millimetres is the length of the shoebox than the width?

Jet001 [13]

Ok so for every 1 centimeter you get 10 millimeters. Meaning that if you multiply 20 * 10 you get 200 millimeters and if you multiply 10 * 10 you get 100. Now you subtract 200-100 and you get 100 millimeters.

Which statement must be true? a b c d

lozanna [386]

ANSWER

$\boxed {m \ne0}$

EXPLANATION

The given function is

$f(x) = mx + b$

We need to find the inverse of this function,

Let

$y= mx + b$

We interchange x an y to obtain,

$x = my + b$

We solve for y now to obtain,

$x - b = my$

We divide through by m to get,

$\frac{x - b}{m} = y$

Hence the inverse function is ,

${f}^{ - 1} (x) = \frac{x - b}{m}$

For this inverse to exist, the denominator must not be equal to zero,

Thus

$m \ne0$

The correct answer is A.
