Vocaloid (vocaloid):

let's start with 4/5 do you think that's rational or irrational?

OpenStudy (uscrnamc):

rational

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

good! what about √4/5?

OpenStudy (uscrnamc):

rational?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

very good! since √4/5 = 2/5 it's rational

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

what about π√4 ?

OpenStudy (uscrnamc):

i wanna say irrational

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

good job! since pi is irrational, π√4 must be as well

OpenStudy (uscrnamc):

so the 4th one is rational because it a fraction right?

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

not quite since pi is irrational, π√25/4 is also irrational

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

as a general rule: irrational number * rational = irrational

OpenStudy (uscrnamc):

ok
