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.

atroni [7]

Answer:

y=4x

Step-by-step explanation:

it's enough to use first column (x=6, y=24). Inserting this data into equation y=kx, we can calculate k.

24=k*6

6k = 24

k = 24/6

k = 4

This might be wrong but, 320.

I used the formula for simple interest which is I=Prt, thus giving me this:

I = 1000 (.016) (20)

Hope this helps at all!
