Respuesta :

the answer is (A).......

ac/bd is a fraction with the numerator and denominator, making it a rational number.

What is rational function?

A rational function is defineds as a polynomial divided by a polynomial.

Given ,

a/b and c/d are rational numbers with a, b, c, d integers (b,d ≠ 0)

The product of two rational numbers is another rational number.

[tex]{\dfrac{a}{b} \times \dfrac{c}{d}[/tex]  is rational numbers

[tex]{\dfrac{a}{b} \times \dfrac{c}{d}[/tex]

[tex]\left\{\dfrac{a}{b} \times \dfrac{c}{d} = \dfrac{ac}{bd} \right\}[/tex]  (b≠ 0,d ≠ 0)

Since integers are closed under multiplication, ac and bd are integers.

Thus, [tex]\dfrac{ac}{bd}[/tex] is a fraction with the numerator and denominator, making it a rational number.
