The expression given is \sqrt(1) * \sqrt(12).
To evaluate this, we can simplify each square root separately before taking their product.
√1 = 1 because the square root of 1 is equal to 1.
√12 is an irrational number because the square root of a non-perfect square is typically irrational. In this case, the square root of 12 is approximately 3.4641.
So, we have 1 * 3.4641, which is equal to 3.4641.
From the answer choices given:
- It does not represent the product of two irrational numbers because only one of the square roots is irrational.
- It does not represent the product of two rational numbers because one of the square roots is irrational.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
It represents the product of one rational number and one irrational number and is equivalent to an irrational number.
