Answer:
A is the answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
A fraction plus a fraction is equal to a fraction. An irrational number cannot be expressed as a fraction.
0.3333333 even though it looks like an irrational number it is actually: 1/3
3/5 is already a fraction so adding it with another fraction will NOT equal an irrational number (decimal)
-0.75 is equal to -3/4 (75/100 => 3/4). Same thing that applies above.
However, Pi cannot be expressed as a fraction exactly. You can round up like 3.14. However it is not the full number. So 3.141592654....+(3/4) is not going to add up perfectly into a fraction.
In short, a fraction is a rational number. Rational + Rational = Rational. Irrational + Rational = Irrational.
What you need to do is add the two equations and combine like terms to get h(x). Refer to the photo for a better explanation.
