Can somebody help me Please please

Rewrite the following without an exponent. (5/8)-1

Determine the mean and variance of the random variable with the following probability mass function. f(x)=( 729divided by 91) (1 divided by 9) superscript x baseline comma x equals 1,2,3 round your answers to three decimal places (e.g. 98.765).

1- is the product of two rational numbers irrational or rational? first, make a hypothesis by multiplying two rational numbers. then, use variables such as x=a/b and y=c/d and the closure property of integers to prove your hypothesis. 2- what do you think the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is? is it rational or irrational? make use of variables, the closure property of integers, and possibly a proof by contradiction to prove your hypothesis. 3- why do we have to specify that the rational number must be nonzero when we determine what the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is? if the rational number were 0, would it give us the same result we found in part b?
