Which of the following is not irrational?
Explanation: To determine which of the given expressions is not irrational, let's analyze each one:
a. (2−3)2(2 - \sqrt{3})^2(2−3)2:
• (2−3)2=4−43+3=7−43(2 - \sqrt{3})^2 = 4 - 4\sqrt{3} + 3 = 7 - 4\sqrt{3}(2−3)2=4−43+3=7−43
• This expression involves subtraction and multiplication by a rational number, so it could potentially be rational or irrational.
b. (2+3)2(\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3})^2(2+3)2:
• (2+3)2=2+26+3=5+26(\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3})^2 = 2 + 2\sqrt{6} + 3 = 5 + 2\sqrt{6}(2+3)2=2+26+3=5+26
• This expression involves addition and multiplication by a rational number, so it could potentially be rational or irrational.
c. (2−3)(2+3)(\sqrt{2} - \sqrt{3})(\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3})(2−3)(2+3):
• (2−3)(2+3)=2−3=−1(\sqrt{2} - \sqrt{3})(\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3}) = 2 - 3 = -1(2−3)(2+3)=2−3=−1
• This expression results in a rational number, since it involves subtraction of irrational numbers.
d. 27727\sqrt{7}277:
• This expression involves multiplication by an irrational number, so it's irrational.
Therefore, the expression in option (c) (2−3)(2+3)(\sqrt{2} - \sqrt{3})(\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3})(2−3) (2+3) is not irrational. It evaluates to a rational number, -1.
The product of a rational and irrational number is
The sum of a rational and irrational number is
Explanation: The sum of a rational and an irrational number can be either rational or irrational, depending on the specific numbers being added.
For example:
• The sum of 12\frac{1}{2}21 (rational) and 2\sqrt{2}2 (irrational) is irrational (12+2\frac{1}{2} + \sqrt{2}21+2).
• The sum of 12\frac{1}{2}21 (rational) and −2-\sqrt{2}−2 (irrational) is also irrational (12−2\frac{1}{2} - \sqrt{2}21−2).
• However, the sum of 12\frac{1}{2}21 (rational) and 12\frac{1}{2}21 (rational) is rational (12+12=1\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2} = 121+21=1).
So, the correct answer is:
(b) irrational
The product of two different irrational numbers is always
The sum of two irrational numbers is always
