Question

Determine if the product of 3V2 and 8V17 is rational or irrational. Explain your answer.

Answer 1

Explanation:

3√2×8√17=24√(2×17)=24√(34)

it is an irrational number.

√34 can't be expressed in the form p/q where p and q are integers.

moreover

5²=25

6²=36

so √34 is between 5 and 6.
