The sum or product of a non-zero rational number and an irrational number is always
Rational.
Irrational.
A repeating decimal.
A fraction.
Solution:
By definition we know that an irrational number in the form of a decimal goes on without repeating (non terminating, non repeating decimal).
By definition we know that a rational number in the form of decimal repeats or terminates.
So multiplying or adding a non terminating non repeating number to a terminating repeating number the result will be a non terminating non repeating number.
For example - Consider a rational number 5
Irrational number √2
By adding we get 5 + √2
By multiplying 5 x √2 = 5√2
Therefore, the sum or product of a non-zero rational number and an irrational number is always an irrational number.
The sum or product of a non-zero rational number and an irrational number is always
Summary:
The sum or product of a non-zero rational number and an irrational number is always an irrational number.
