Answer 1

I need the original expression to be sure, but a common question like √2 × √8 gives 4, which is a rational number.

Explanation: √2 and √8 are both irrational, but √2·√8 = √16 = 4, a rational (integer) result. So the correct choice would be: Rational — because both factors are irrational (their product simplifies to 4).
