Find the product of 5722 and 2/22 in simplest form. Also, determine whether the
result is rational or irrational and explain your answer.
Btw it’s 5 square root 5722 and 2 squareroot 22

Respuesta :

Answer:

5√5722 * 2√22

We can start by multiplying them since its a product.

10√115884

Well you have this now.
So whats the square root of 115884, not rational.

Well from here everything I did here was useless since it could be determined if the number is rational or irrational right away. Although you could solve like this, you’d get a decimal so irrational number.

One of the first hints you can notice here is that the square root of 22 is a decimal which is already irrational. Multiplying it by 2 doesnt help either. That helps since if the other number is irrational, its not always rational and in this case √5722 doesn’t fit in any perfect square root either.

Thats how to solve it.

Final answer: Irrational
