Which statement best describes the excluded values of a rational expression?

a. the number of excluded values of a rational expression cannot exceed the degree of the numerator.
b. the number of excluded values of a rational expression cannot exceed the degree of the denominator.
c. the number of excluded values of a rational expression cannot exceed the sum of the degrees of the numerator and denominator.
d. the number of excluded values of a rational expression cannot exceed the difference in the degrees of the numerator and denominator.

b. The number of excluded values of a rational expression cannot exceed the degree of the denominator.

Step-by-step explanation:

A rational expression is a fraction in which the numerator and the denominator are polynomials. The excluded values of a rational number are that values which make denominator zero.They are basically the zeroes of the polynomial of denominator.So,the number of excluded values can't exceed the degree of the denominator.

Here is  a rational expression  

where the denominator is

⇒x=-2,+2 are zero of polynomial

i.e. -2 and 2 are the excluded values for the whole rational expression.

step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+b

so a parallelogram is just like a square base times height. multiply 40 and 39 to get 1560 inches.

a triangle is base times height divided by two. so multiply 7.9 and 5 and then divide it by 2 to get 19.75inches.

the kite can be split into two separate triangles and added together to get the total area. 30 x 4 /2 which equals 60. make sure to double it for the two triangles making 120.
