True: If two rational numbers (or fractions) are added together, then the result has to be another rational number (or fraction). For example, + 5 = = 8 = , which is still a rational number. In general, if a b + c d = ad ad+bc bd bc = bd bd, where a, b, c and d are integers, b 0, d 0, then the sum is rational. b. False: Counterexample = 1 + π cannot 2 be simplified. If you perform the sum with the decimal equivalents, = c. True: If a rational number, not equal to 0, and an irrational number are multiplied together, the result has to be irrational. For example, 2 = 2( ) =.46410, which is still irrational 11. a. Irrational b. Rational, Integer c. Rational, Integer, Whole, Natural d. Rational e. Rational, Integer, Whole f. Irrational g.
