Astudent memorized the statement the product of any rational number and any irrational number is irrational. label this statement as true or false, and explain your reasoning.
a) true. for example, 3 ·5 is irrational, 7 · 2 3 is irrational, and (π)·(−4) is irrational.
b) false. suppose an irrational times a rational = rational, then irrational = rational rational . this means irrational = rational, which is a contradiction. thus an irrational times a rational = rational.
c) true. suppose an irrational times a rational = rational, then irrational = rational rational . this means irrational = rational, which is a contradiction. thus an irrational times a rational = irrational.
d) false. the rational number cannot be zero. suppose an irrational times a nonzero rational = rational, then irrational = rational nonzero rational . this means irrational = rational, which is a contradiction. thus an irrational times a nonzero rational = irrational.

Someone answer this asap rn for ! a discount store’s prices are 25% lower than department store prices. the function c(x) = 0.75x can be used to determine the cost c, in dollars, of an item, where x is the department store price, in dollars. if the item has not sold in one month, the discount store takes an additional 20% off the discounted price and an additional $5 off the total purchase. the function d(y) = 0.80y - 5 can be used to find d, the cost, in dollars, of an item that has not been sold for a month, where y is the discount store price, in dollars. create a function d(c(x)) that represents the final price of an item when a costumer buys an item that has been in the discount store for a month. d(c(x)) =
