Mia is incorrect. The correct response is:
No, some radicals simplify to rational numbers.
For example, the square root of 4 is 2, which is a rational number. Therefore, not all expressions involving radicals result in irrational sums.
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)
