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 7\sqrt{7}.
The second question asks for the domain of the expression xx+7\frac{x}{x+7}.

2. Solution Steps

For the first question:
A rational number is a number that can be expressed as a fraction pq\frac{p}{q}, where pp and qq are integers and q0q \neq 0.
* 14 can be written as 141\frac{14}{1}, so it is a rational number.
* 0 can be written as 01\frac{0}{1}, so it is a rational number.
* 52\frac{5}{2} is already in the form of a fraction with integers, so it is a rational number.
* 7\sqrt{7} is an irrational number because 7 is not a perfect square. Its decimal representation is non-terminating and non-repeating.
Therefore, 7\sqrt{7} is not a rational number.
For the second question:
To find the domain of the expression xx+7\frac{x}{x+7}, we need to determine the values of xx 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 xx such that x+70x+7 \neq 0.
x+70x+7 \neq 0
x7x \neq -7
The domain is the set of all real numbers except x=7x = -7. This can be written as {xx7}\{x | x \neq -7\}.

3. Final Answer

For the first question, the number that is not a rational number is 7\sqrt{7}, which is option (4).
For the second question, the domain of the expression is {xx7}\{x | x \neq -7\}, which is option (3).
