Why is the product of a rational number and an irrational number irrational?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When you multiply and irrational by a rational, you are doing nothing to change the nature of an irrational number. The two numbers have different kinds of properties and though a multiplication can be indicated, there is no way you can change the properties of an irrational number with a rational.

Their properties just do not mix.

It is like take a solvent and mixing it with something that is not a solvent. You cannot do anything to anything to the insolvent to make it solvent simply by adding more. Their properties remain in tact.

Take 3 * 4√7

The properties of the 3 and 4 remain the same when multiplied and they can be combined. 3*4 = 12

But nothing can be done with √7. The 3 cannot effect it, anymore than what the 4 did.

MATHEMATICS: A boy leaves home at 09:15 hours and arrives at 10:05 hours. If he travels nonstop at an average speed of 6kmh ,wha
love history [14]

Answer:

5 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate the distance if we apply the speed formula that would be the distance in a given time:

v = d / t

therefore, if we solve for distance it would be:

d = v * t

Now the speed is 6 km / h but the time must be calculated, it leaves at 9:15 and returns at 10:05, that is, there is no exact time but 50 minutes, one hour equals 60 minutes, therefore:

50 min * 1 h / 60 min = 0.833 h, that is, the child took 0.833 hours to get to school, now if we replace:

d = 6 * 0.8333

d = 5

In other words, the distance between the school and the house is 5 km.
