the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number. A) is a rational number B) is underlined C) is an irrational number D) cannot be determined without more information

Respuesta :

C) is an irrational number

Answer:

The product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is:

             C) is an irrational number

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

  • The product of two rational number is always an rational number.
  • The product of a rational number and a irrational number is always a irrational number  if the rational number is non-zero otherwise it is equal to zero and hence leads to a rational number.
  • Also, the product of two irrational number may be a rational number of irrational number.

       For example--  [tex]\sqrt{2}\times \sqrt{3}=\sqrt{6}[/tex] is a irrational number.

and [tex]\sqrt{2}\times \sqrt{2}=2[/tex] which is a rational number.

          Hence, the answer is:

            Option: C
