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.
Can 2 irrational add to an irrational number?
Yes. 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 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 irrational numbers to get a rational number?
Yes. Consider 4+sqrt(2), and 3-sqrt(2). Both are irrational numbers. Their sum is 7.
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.
Can you add two irrational numbers and get a rational number?
Yes - if I had an irrational number x, and I added that to the number (7-x), I would end up with 7.If the number is irrational, it can be subtracted from a rational/integer to make another irrational.
Can 2 irrational add to an irrational number?
Yes. 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 three irrational numbers and get a rational number?
no
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.
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.
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 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.
Is it true that if you add two irrational numbers you will always get a rational number?
yes
Can you add two irrational numbers that are not conjugates of one another ie a plus b and a minus b to get a rational number?
You can also have any numbers like (a + c) and (b - c), where "c" is the irrational part, and "a" and "b" are rational.
