The answer is C. 2.
This is because the part that is inside of the parentheses is equal to 4. Multiplying the fractions in the numerator is equal to 
.
, using the exponential rule 3/2-1/2=2/2 or 1. 4^1=4.
Now, we reduced the fraction, so all that is left is 
. This is equal to 2.
So your answer is 2.
I hope this helps :)
now, for a rational expression, the domain, or "values that x can safely take", applies to the denominator NOT becoming 0, because if the denominator is 0, then the rational turns to
undefined.
now, what value of "x" makes this denominator turn to 0, let's check by setting it to 0 then.

so, the domain is all real numbers EXCEPT that one.
Answer:
x=7
Step-by-step explanation:
y=mx
5.5=m×11
5.5÷11=m
m=1/2
y=mx
3.5=1/2×x
3.5÷1/2=x
x=7
