Question

. Will the product be rational or irrational? Explain how you know in one or two sentences, and then find the product. (2 points)

Answer 1

The expression √36 x 53 will result in a rational number because √36 is equal to 6, which is a rational number, and multiplying two rational numbers (6 and 53) yields another rational number.

Calculating the product: 6 x 53 = 318.

So, the product is 318, which is a rational number.
