an irrational number is any real number that cannot be expressed as a ratio a/b, where a and bare integers, with b nonzero, and is therefore not a rational number.
Informally, this means that an irrational number cannot be represented as a simple fraction. Irrational Numbers are those real numbers that cannot be represented as terminating or repeating decimals. As a consequence of Cantor's proof that the real numbers are uncountable (and the rationals countable) it follows that almost all real numbers are irrational.[1]
When the ratio of lengths of two line segments is irrational, the line segments are also described as being incommensurable By Paul Philip S. Panis
Irrational numbers are decimal numbers that can't be expressed as fractions. An example is the square root of 2
(pi) x (1/pi) = 1
Yes. For example, the square root of 3 (an irrational number) times the square root of 2(an irrational number) gets you the square root of 6(an irrational number)
Any positive integer not including 0. Also known as "counting numbers." 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11...

No, they are not. An irrational number subtracted from itself will give 0, which is rational.
1 + sqrt(2) is irrational 1 - sqrt(2) is irrational. Their sum is 2 = 2/1 which is rational.
Yes. For example, the square root of 3 (an irrational number) times the square root of 2(an irrational number) gets you the square root of 6(an irrational number)
No. For example, -root(2) + root(2) is zero, which is rational.Note that MOST calculations involving irrational numbers give you an irrational number, but there are a few exceptions.
All integers and fractions are rational numbers whereas irrational numbers can't be expressed as fractions as for example the square root of 2 can't be expressed as a fraction because it is a non-terminating decimal number.

No, but you can add an irrational number and a rational number to give an irrational.For example, 1 + pi is irrational.
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.
