You and a friend race across a field to a fence and back. your friend has a 50-meter head start. the equations shown represent you and your friend's distances dd (in meters) from the fence tt seconds after the race begins. find the time at which you catch up to your friend. you: d=∣−5t+100∣d=∣−5t+100∣ your friend: d=∣−313t+50∣∣

1- is the product of two rational numbers irrational or rational? first, make a hypothesis by multiplying two rational numbers. then, use variables such as x=a/b and y=c/d and the closure property of integers to prove your hypothesis. 2- what do you think the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is? is it rational or irrational? make use of variables, the closure property of integers, and possibly a proof by contradiction to prove your hypothesis. 3- why do we have to specify that the rational number must be nonzero when we determine what the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is? if the rational number were 0, would it give us the same result we found in part b?
