Which product is rational?(1 point) Responses 12⋅5.3420941... 10⋅8–√ 10 times square root of 8 12⋅π 12 times pi 8⋅25−−√

1 answer

To determine which product is rational, we will analyze each option:

  1. 12⋅5.3420941...: This is a product of a rational number (12) and an irrational number (5.3420941...). The product of a rational and an irrational number is irrational.

  2. 10⋅√8: Here, \( \sqrt{8} = \sqrt{4 \cdot 2} = 2\sqrt{2} \), which is irrational. Since 10 is rational, the product \( 10 \cdot \sqrt{8} \) is irrational.

  3. 12⋅π: π is an irrational number. Since 12 is rational, the product \( 12 \cdot π \) is irrational.

  4. 8⋅25−−√: \( \sqrt{25} = 5 \), which is rational. Thus, \( 8 \cdot \sqrt{25} = 8 \cdot 5 = 40 \), which is rational.

Based on this analysis, the only rational product is:

8⋅25−−√ (which equals 40).
