Mia says that anytime there is a radical in an addition expression, it automatically has an irrational number as the sum. Is she correct?
11 answers
No, Mia is not correct. Adding a radical to a rational number does not always result in an irrational number. For example, if you add the square root of 4 (which is a rational number, equal to 2) to the rational number 3, the sum is 5, which is a rational number.
