Hey there!
I'm thinking B because it just makes the most sense reading it aloud. Quick tip though when there's a question like this just read the paragraph or sentences with all the possibilities in the blanks and you can kind of just tell which one it is by the way it sounds, you know?
Hope I helped, lemme know if I'm correct please! Have a spectacular day!
F(x)=(-2/((x+y-2)^(1/2))-(x+y+2)^(1/2)
the only irrational part of this expression is the (x+y-2)^(1/2) in the denominator, so, to rationalize this, you multiply the numerator and denominator by the denominator, as well as the other parts of the expression
also, you must multiply the -sqrt(x+y+2) by sqrt(x+y-2)/sqrt(x+y-2) to form a common denominator
(-2)/(x+y-2)^(1/2)-(x+y+2)^(1/2)(x+y-2)^(1/2)/(x+y-2)^(1/2)
(common denominator)
(-2-(x^2+xy+2x+xy+y^2+2y-2x-2y-4))/(x+y-2)^(1/2)
(FOIL)
(-2-x^2-y^2-2xy+4)/(x+y-2)^(1/2)
(Distribute negative)
(-x^2-y^2-2xy+2)/(x+y-2)^(1/2)
(Simplify numerator)
(-x^2-y^2-2xy+2)(x+y-2)^(1/2)/(x+y-2)^(1/2)(x+y-2)^(1/2)
(Rationalize denominator by multiplying both top and bottom by sqrt)
(-x^2-y^2-2xy+2)((x+y-2)^(1/2))/(x+y-2)
(The function is now rational)
=(-x^2-y^2-2xy+2)(sqrt(x+y-2))/(x+y-2)
Ok so a∈{-3,-1,0}. then just {-3*-1,-1*-1,0*-1} which comes to {3,1,0}
