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

Answer:

Because the product is always non-termination,non-repeating decimal.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have a is irrational;  b is rational such that b \neq 0 , then a \cdot b is irrational.

A way to represent this is:

a\in\mathbb{R}\setminus\mathbb{Q}, b\in\mathbb{Q},ab\in\mathbb{Q}\implies a\in\mathbb{Q}\implies\text{Contradiction}\therefore ab\not\in\mathbb{Q}.

Note that we have a contradiction, because a is not a rational number, as I stated in the beginning. Therefore, ab is irrational.

Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplying an irrational number by a rational number will always be an irrational number because irrational numbers do not repeat and terminate.

So for example multiplying pi by a rational like two you will have an irrational number because pi is an irrational number.

\pi * 2 = 6.28318530718  as you could see that is an irrational number because there is no repetition or termination.

Assuming you want them multiplied


f(x)*g(x)=(3x+5)(x^2)=3x³+6x²
