The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of finding a pair of irrational numbers whose product is rational, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Irrational Numbers**: - Recall that irrational numbers cannot be expressed in the form of \( \frac{p}{q} \) where \( q \neq 0 \). Examples of irrational numbers include \( \sqrt{2} \), \( \sqrt{3} \), \( \pi \), and \( e \). **Hint**: Remember that irrational numbers are those that cannot be expressed as fractions. 2. **Choosing Irrational Numbers**: - Let's choose \( \sqrt{2} \) as our first irrational number. We will use it again as our second irrational number. So, we have: - First irrational number: \( \sqrt{2} \) - Second irrational number: \( \sqrt{2} \) **Hint**: You can use the same irrational number twice to create a product that is rational. 3. **Calculating the Product**: - Now, we need to find the product of these two irrational numbers: \[ \sqrt{2} \times \sqrt{2} \] **Hint**: Remember that multiplying two square roots can be simplified. 4. **Simplifying the Product**: - Using the property of square roots, we can simplify the product: \[ \sqrt{2} \times \sqrt{2} = \sqrt{2^2} = \sqrt{4} = 2 \] **Hint**: The square root of a number squared returns the original number. 5. **Identifying the Result**: - The result of the multiplication is \( 2 \), which is a rational number (since it can be expressed as \( \frac{2}{1} \)). **Hint**: Check if the result can be expressed in the form \( \frac{p}{q} \) where \( q \neq 0 \). ### Final Answer: The pair of irrational numbers whose product is rational is \( \sqrt{2} \) and \( \sqrt{2} \), and their product is \( 2 \), which is a rational number.
