The answer to your question would be 'A'
Given a = 3 and b = - 8 ,
= > 2b² - 4a + 4a²
= > 2( - 8 )² - 4( 3 ) + 4( 3 )²
= > 2( 64 ) - 4( 3 ) + 4( 9 )
= > 128 - 12 + 36
= > 116 + 36
= > 152

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A rational number are numbers that can be expressed as as fraction. They can be expressed as a ratio of two integers. An irrational is quite the opposite. An irrational number cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers.
Taking square root of two as an example;
√2 cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers because the result will always be a decimal. If expressed as √2/1, it is still not a rational number because of the square root of 2 at the numerator. Square root of 2 is not an integer even though 1 is an integer.
Mark is wrong because √2 is irrational and it is irrational because it cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers <em>not due to the fact that he can write it as a fraction.</em>
