First you need to set your denominators equally to their lowest common. Then you take that lowest common and use it with the two or more irrationals. Using it, you need to multiply the denominator of the irrationals to get the LCD, you multiply both the top and bottom. The bootoms will all be the same but the tops wont. Then add the tops together and reduce. The denominator will be the LCD!

Ans 2. The answer above fundamentally misunderstands what an irrational number is. In order to have a numerator and a denominator, you must be able to express your number as a ratio. The word irrational means that this is a number that can notbe expressed as a ratio.

Can you add two positive irrational numbers and get a rational number?

no


Can you add a rational number and an irrational number and get a rational number?

No, the result is always an irrational number. In more advanced math it is possible to add an infinite amount of rational numbers by way of Taylor Series and get an irrational number. This is how numbers like "Pi" and "e" are derived.


How do you Find two rational and irrational nos. between 2.1 and 2.11?

For two rational numbers select any terminating or repeating decimal number which starts with 2.10 and for irrational numbers you require a non-terminating, non-repeating decimal which also starts with 2.10.


Can 2 irrational numbers add together to form a rational?

Yes. For example: a = 10 - pi b = pi Both are irrational; the sum a + b is 10.


Can you add two irrational numbers to get an irrational number?

Yes.An example:1 + 2^(0.5) is an irrational number,1 -(2^(0.5)) is also a irrational number.(1 + 2^(0.5)) + (1- 2^(0.5)) = 22 is a rational number.Therefore the sum of two irrational numbers can equal a rational number.But this is not the question. Can you add two irrational numbers to get another irrational number. Yes. Almost all additions of two irrational numbers result in another irrational number. For instance pi (3.141...) and e (2.718...) are both irrational, and so is their sum. In some sense you have to work quite hard to make the sum not irrational (i.e. rational) because the two decimal expansions have to conspire together either to cancel out or to give a repeating decimal.Actually, pi+e may or may not be irrational. This hasn't been proved either way. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irrational_number (under "Open Questions")Yes. For example, pi + (-pi) = 0.any number that is a non-terminating decimal is called an irrational number.

If you add two irrational numbers do you get an irrational number?

Not necessarily. The sum of two irrational numbers can be rational or irrational.


If three irrational numbers added together is the result irrational number?

You can not add irrational numbers. You can round off irrational numbers and then add them but in the process of rounding off the numbers, you make them rational. Then the sum becomes rational.

Can you add two irrational numbers and get an integer?

No, you can't.


Can you add two positive irrational numbers to get an rational number?

Sure; for example, 10 + pi is irrational, 10 - pi is irrational. Both are positive. If you add them, you get 20.

Can you add two positive irrational numbers to get an irrational number?

Yes. sqrt(2) + sqrt(2) = 2*sqrt(2), an irrational number.


Can you add irrational numbers to get a rational number?

Yes. Consider 4+sqrt(2), and 3-sqrt(2). Both are irrational numbers. Their sum is 7.
