Answer: Choice A) z

==========================================================

Explanation:

x and y are two integers, with x being nonzero

This means x/y is rational as long as y is nonzero as well. If y = 0, then we have a division by zero error. Try something like 1/0 on your calculator and you'll find it doesn't work.

Similarly, y/x is rational as well. Any rational number is simply dividing two integers as a fraction like this. Other examples include stuff like 1/2, 4/5, 8/17, and so on.

Since y is an integer, this means we can write it like this: y = y/1. This shows any integer is also rational, but not the other way around. A fraction like 2/3 is rational but not an integer.

All of what was discussed above indicates that choices B, C and D can be ruled out. The only thing left is choice A. The variable z isn't defined, so it's not clear what it is exactly. But it's likely the answer as it's the only thing left after the eliminations.

riangle JKL is isosceles. The measure of angle J is 72° and the measure of angle K is 36°. Which statement describes angle L? An
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Angle L is a base angle and measures 72°.

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle JKL is isosceles.

The measure of angle J is 72°

The measure of angle K is 36°

Angles in a trinagle add up to 180° so angle L is;

180° - (36° + 72°) = 72°

An isosceles triangle means that two of its sides are equal and two base angles are equal. So base  angles are angles J and L and measures 72° each.
