Yes. The proof is easy. Let x be the irrational number and assume there exists some rational number r = a/b where a and b are integers (that's what it means to be rational). Now suppose x/r is a rational number. Then x/r = (b/a)x = c/d where c and d are some other integers. Since (b/a)x=c/d, then x = bd/ac which means that x itself is rational, but we assumed it was irrational. The contradiction proves that the assertion is wrong. An irrational divided by a rational must be irrational.
No. A rational plus an irrational is always an irrational.
rational
It is always irrational.
The product of a rational and irrational number can be rational if the rational is 0. Otherwise it is always irrational.
