Answer:
- a = 4/3 and b = 0
============================
<h2>Given expression:</h2>Bring both fractions into common denominator:
Simplify:
Compare the result with given expression to get:
- a = 4/3 and b = 0
The product would expand to
This is a trinomial, and the only way to make it a binomial is to cancel out a coefficient using our variable .
So, we can cancel either the linear term or the constant term.
In the first case, we require
In the second case, we require
But must be a non-zero rational number, so this solution is not feasible.
