1. Problem Description
The first question asks us to identify which of the given numbers is not a rational number. The options are 14, 0, 5/2, and .
The second question asks for the domain of the expression .
2. Solution Steps
For the first question:
A rational number is a number that can be expressed as a fraction , where and are integers and .
* 14 can be written as , so it is a rational number.
* 0 can be written as , so it is a rational number.
* is already in the form of a fraction with integers, so it is a rational number.
* is an irrational number because 7 is not a perfect square. Its decimal representation is non-terminating and non-repeating.
Therefore, is not a rational number.
For the second question:
To find the domain of the expression , we need to determine the values of for which the expression is defined. A rational expression is undefined when the denominator is equal to zero. Thus, we need to find the values of such that .
The domain is the set of all real numbers except . This can be written as .
3. Final Answer
For the first question, the number that is not a rational number is , which is option (4).
For the second question, the domain of the expression is , which is option (3).
