Question

Determine whether each sum, difference, product,

Answer 1

Answer:

28. The difference represents an irrational number

29. The difference represents a rational number

30. The quotient represents a rational number

31. The quotient represents an irrational number

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- The rational number is any numbers can be put in the form of a/b,

  where a and b are integers b ≠ 0

- Ex: 1 , 2/3 , 5/4 , 22/7 , 100 , ................

- The irrational number is any number that is not rational

- It is a number that cannot be written as a ratio of two integers

 or cannot be expressed as a fraction

- Ex: √2 , √7 , π ,  ..... (π is irrational because it's approximated value)

- If the part of the the number is irrational, then the number

 is irrational

- Ex: (5 + √3) , (√7 + 5) , 2√5 , √11/4 , 5/√13

* Lets solve the problems

28. $\frac{6}{23}-\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

∵ √2/2 is an irrational number

∵ One term is an irrational number

∴ The difference represents an irrational number

29. $\frac{6}{23}-\frac{15}{127}$

∵ The two terms are rational numbers

∴ The difference represents a rational number

30. $\frac{6}{23}$ ÷ $\frac{15}{127}$

∵ The two terms are rational numbers

∴ The quotient represents a rational number

31. $\frac{6}{23}$ ÷ $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$

∵ √2/2 is an irrational number

∵ One term is an irrational number

∴ The quotient represents an irrational number
