Consider the expression 473+121−−−√. Will the sum of the two rational numbers produce a rational number? Explain your reasoning in 1–2 sentences.

Yes, the expression \( 473 + \sqrt{121} \) will produce a rational number because \( \sqrt{121} \) equals \( 11 \), which is a rational number. Therefore, the sum \( 473 + 11 = 484 \) is also a rational number.
