Q. Is 2536⋅11 rational or irrational?Choose 1 answer:(A) Rational(B) Irrational(C) It can be either rational or irrational
Understand rational vs irrational: Understand the definition of rational and irrational numbers.A rational number is a number that can be expressed as the quotient or fractionqp of two integers, where p and q are integers and q is not zero. An irrational number cannot be expressed as a simple fraction; it's a number that cannot be written as a ratio of two integers.
Analyze given expression: Analyze the given expression.The expression is (2536)11. We know that 36 and 25 are integers, so (2536) is a rational number. However, we need to determine the nature of 11.
Determine 11 nature: Determine the nature of 11. The square root of 11, 11, is an irrational number because 11 is not a perfect square, and its square root cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers.
Multiply rational by irrational: Multiply a rational number by an irrational number.When we multiply a rational number by an irrational number, the result is always an irrational number. This is because the irrational number cannot be expressed as a fraction, and multiplying by a fraction (rational number) does not change this fact.
Conclude expression type: Conclude whether the expression is rational or irrational.Since (2536) is rational and 11 is irrational, their product (2536)⋅11 is irrational.
