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

Mathematics

Llana [10]3 years ago

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.

?/0.6=1.4<br>how to show the solution
den301095 [7]
To find the solution to this problem, you would do the opposite of division which is multiplication.

Use the terms you have to plug into your new equation;

0.6 x 1.4 = .84

To check your work you would plug in .84 where the '?' is;

.84/.6= 1.4

There you have the original equation you began with.

Therefore, .84 would be your final answer.

For which discriminant is the graph possible
natulia [17]

A quadratic's discriminant can either be more than zero, less than zero, or exactly zero. When the discriminant is less than zero, there are no real solutions and the graph won't cross the x-axis. When it's exactly zero, there will be a real double root and the graph is tangent to the x-axis. When it's more than zero, there will be two real solutions and two x-intercepts.

Our graph has two intercepts, so it needs a positive discriminant more than zero. Choice A's is negative - no.

Choice B's is zero - no.

Choice C's is positive -yes.

Thus, "C" is the possible discriminant for the given graph.
