Mia says that anytime there is a radical in an addition expression, it automatically has an irrational number as the sum. Is she correct?(1 point) Responses Yes, radicals are irrational. Yes, radicals are irrational. No, some radicals simplify to rational numbers. No, some radicals simplify to rational numbers. Yes, radicals can’t be simplified, so they must be irrational. Yes, radicals can’t be simplified, so they must be irrational. No, radicals always simplify to integers, so they are rational.

Answer 1

Mia is not correct. The correct response is:

No, some radicals simplify to rational numbers.

For example, \(\sqrt{4} = 2\), which is a rational number, and \(\sqrt{9} = 3\), which is also rational. Not all radicals are irrational, as some can simplify to rational numbers.
