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

Mathematics

tangare [24]3 years ago

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.

A line with a slope of 4 passes through the point (2, 1). What is the equation of this line?
olasank [31]

Answer:

point slope form: y - 1 = 4 (x -2)

slope intercept form: y = 4x -7

Step-by-step explanation:

If you want it in point slope form it would be: y - 1 = 4 (x -2)

but if you want it in slope intercept form, you solve this equation

y -1 = 4 (x-2)

y-1 = 4x -8

 +1          +1

y = 4x -7 in slope intercept form
