Final answer:

In symbolic logic notation, the proposition 'the product of two irrational numbers is irrational' can be represented as: (∀a,b)((a ∉ Q) ∧ (b ∉ Q) ∧ (a × b ∉ Q)).

Step-by-step explanation:

In symbolic logic notation, the proposition 'the product of two irrational numbers is irrational' can be represented as:

(∀a,b)((a ∉ Q) ∧ (b ∉ Q) ∧ (a × b ∉ Q))

Here, Q represents the set of rational numbers and ∉ represents 'not a member of'. The proposition states that for all a and b, if a and b are not irrational numbers and their product is not a rational number, then the product of a and b is irrational.
