Does an irrational number multiplied by an irrational number equal an irrational number?
The product of two Irrational Numbers may be rational or irrational. For example, sqrt(2) is irrational, and sqrt(2)*sqrt(2) = 2, a rational number. On the other hand, (2^(1/4)) * (2^(1/4)) = 2^(1/2) = sqrt(2), so here two irrational numbers multiply to give an irrational number.

Is a number multiplied by pi irrational?
Maybe. It depends on the number that you are multiplying. Pi multiplied by (1 / 4pi) = 1/4. A quarter is definitely rational.
Is -9pie rational or irrational?
What is 'pie' ; the meat pie that you eat??? I think you mean 'pi' , the mathematical symbol. Please spell it correctly.!!!!! pi = 3.141592654.... is an irrational number. Casually, an IRRATIONAL number is one which the decimals go to infinity and the decimal digits are not in any regular order. Any number rattional or irrational multiplied to aN IRRATIONAL number produces an irrational result. Hen ce -9 is rational -9(3.141592654...) = -28.27433388... is irrational.
Is an irrational number plus an irrational number equal a rational or an irrational number?
An irrational number is a number that has no definite end. So it can't be multiplied or divided by anything to make a rational number that does have a definite end.
Can a rational number be multiplied by an irrational number and equal a rational number?
Only if the rational number is 0.

Why is it not possible for a whole number other than 0 multiplied by an irrational number to be equal a rational number?
It certainly is possible. For example, the square root of 2 times the square root of two is equal to two. Another example: pi multiplied by (1/pi) is equal to 1.Ans. 2No, it is not possible. The two 'counterexamples' above involve multiplying the irrational number by another irrational number. But, the question specifies multiplying the irrational number by a whole number other than zero. As long as you obey that restriction you are stuck with an irrational result.
