Real numbers are closed under multiplication because (real number)*(real number) = real number In terms of symbols, we can say x*y = z where x,y,z are real numbers

n0mn0mlemon:

I am so confused

Hero:

@jimthompson5910 is right. Listen to him

jimthompson5910:

I wasn't sure how to answer. Also, you stated "not closed" which is also giving the answer.

Well when someone outright gives the wrong answer, someone like @jimthompson5910 has to come along and save the day.

n0mn0mlemon:

I have another question. Are irrational numbers closed under division?

foolghost14:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @n0mn0mlemon I have another question. Are irrational numbers closed under division? \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) that depends on the number of questions but @jimthompson5910 can. you help him pls

jimthompson5910:

Consider dividing \(\large \sqrt{32}\) over \(\large \sqrt{8}\). Do you get an irrational number? The rule \(\large \frac{\sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{y}} = \sqrt{\frac{x}{y}}\) can be used, but it's not mandatory.
