The expression \( 473 + \sqrt{121} \) involves the square root of 121, which is 11, a rational number. Therefore, the sum \( 473 + 11 = 484 \) is also a rational number because the sum of two rational numbers is always rational.
Consider the expression 473+121−−−√
. Will the sum of the two rational numbers produce a rational number? Explain your reasoning in 1–2 sentences.(2 points)
