Is a rational number times a irrational number?
Can be irrational or rational.1 [rational] * sqrt(2) [irrational] = sqrt(2) [irrational]0 [rational] * sqrt(2) [irrational] = 0 [rational]
Is 0.555555 both rational and irrational rational neither rational nor irrational irrational?
No number can be both rational and irrational. And, at the level that you must be for you to need to ask that question, a number must be either rational or irrational (ie not neither). 0.555555 is rational.
Why an irrational number plus an irrational number equal a rational?
That simply isn't true. The sum of two irrational numbers CAN BE rational, but it can also be irrational. As an example, the square root of 2 plus the square root of 2 is irrational.
Is the base 2 logarithm of 32 a rational number or an irrational number?
Rational.
Is negative 2pi a rational number?
No. The number pi is irrational, and if you multiply an irrational number by a non-zero rational number (in this case, -2), you will get another irrational number.As a general guideline, most calculations that involve irrational numbers will again give you an irrational number.
Is a rational number times a irrational number?
Can be irrational or rational.1 [rational] * sqrt(2) [irrational] = sqrt(2) [irrational]0 [rational] * sqrt(2) [irrational] = 0 [rational]
Is the square of an irrational number rational?
Sometimes. eg the irrational number √2 squared is 2 which is rational (2 = 2/1) eg the irrational number √(√2) squared is √2 which is irrational.
Is 2 a rational number or irrational?
It is rational. It is a whole number so it cannot be irrational.
Is an irrational number divided by an irrational number always a rational?
No. sqrt(2)/pi is not rational.
Is 5.4 an irrational or rational number?
5.4 = 5 2/5 = 27/5 so it is a rational number.
How do you turn an irrational number in to a rational number?
Some irrational numbers can be multiplied by another irrational number to yield a rational number - for example the square root of 2 is irrational but if you multiply it by itself, you get 2 - which is rational. Irrational roots of numbers can yield rational numbers if they are raised to the appropriate power
Can you add two irrational numbers to get a rational number?
Yes Yes, the sum of two irrational numbers can be rational. A simple example is adding sqrt{2} and -sqrt{2}, both of which are irrational and sum to give the rational number 0. In fact, any rational number can be written as the sum of two irrational numbers in an infinite number of ways. Another example would be the sum of the following irrational quantities [2 + sqrt(2)] and [2 - sqrt(2)]. Both quantities are positive and irrational and yield a rational sum. (Four in this case.) The statement that there are an infinite number of ways of writing any rational number as the sum of two irrational numbers is true. The reason is as follows: If two numbers sum to a rational number then either both numbers are rational or both numbers are irrational. (The proof of this by contradiction is trivial.) Thus, given a rational number, r, then for ANY irrational number, i, the irrational pair (i, r-i) sum to r. So, the statement can actually be strengthened to say that there are an infinite number of ways of writing a rational number as the sum of two irrational numbers.
Is number 2 rational or irrational?
2 is a rational number and it is also a prime number
Is the square root of a number rational or irrational?
that depends on the number. sqrt(2) is irrational, sqrt(4)=2 is rational
What is a rational number multiplied by an irrational number equal?
It can be a rational number or an irrational number. For example, sqrt(2)*sqrt(50) = 10 is rational. sqrt(2)*sqrt(51) = sqrt(102) is irrational.
Is 0.555555 both rational and irrational rational neither rational nor irrational irrational?
No number can be both rational and irrational. And, at the level that you must be for you to need to ask that question, a number must be either rational or irrational (ie not neither). 0.555555 is rational.
Is the square root of 2 an irrational number or a rational number?
irrational
