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?

Ahighway between points a and b has been closed for repairs. an alternative route between there two locations is to travel between a and c and then from c to b what is the value of y and what is the total distance from a to c to b?

Given that δabc is similar to δdef, which is a possible trigonometric ratio for ∠d? a) tan d = 24 30 b) tan d = 30 24 c) tan d = 18 24 d) tan d = 24 18
