Yes, radicals are irrational.
Yes, radicals are irrational.
No, radicals always simplify to integers, so they are rational.
No, radicals always simplify to integers, so they are rational.
Yes, radicals can’t be simplified, so they must be irrational.

Answer 1

Mia is incorrect. The correct response is:

No, some radicals simplify to rational numbers.

For example, the expression \( \sqrt{4} + 2 \) equals \( 2 + 2 = 4 \), which is rational. Therefore, not all sums involving radicals result in irrational numbers.
