The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the statements (a, b, c, d) are true, we need to analyze each statement regarding irrational numbers and their properties. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Rational and Irrational Numbers:** - A **rational number** can be expressed in the form \( \frac{p}{q} \) where \( p \) and \( q \) are integers and \( q \neq 0 \). - An **irrational number** cannot be expressed in this form. Examples include \( \sqrt{2} \), \( \pi \), and \( e \). 2. **Analyzing Statement A:** - Statement A claims that "the product of two irrational numbers is always irrational." - **Example:** Let’s take two irrational numbers, \( \sqrt{2} \) and \( \sqrt{2} \). - Their product: \( \sqrt{2} \times \sqrt{2} = 2 \), which is a rational number. - **Conclusion:** Statement A is **false**. 3. **Analyzing Statement B:** - Statement B claims that "the sum of two irrational numbers is always irrational." - **Example:** Let’s take \( \sqrt{2} \) and \( -\sqrt{2} \). - Their sum: \( \sqrt{2} + (-\sqrt{2}) = 0 \), which is a rational number. - **Conclusion:** Statement B is **false**. 4. **Analyzing Statement C:** - Statement C claims that "the product of two irrational numbers is always rational." - **Example:** Let’s take \( \sqrt{2} \) and \( \sqrt{3} \). - Their product: \( \sqrt{2} \times \sqrt{3} = \sqrt{6} \), which is an irrational number. - **Conclusion:** Statement C is **false**. 5. **Analyzing Statement D:** - Since we have not been provided with the content of Statement D, we cannot analyze it directly. However, based on the previous statements, we can conclude that if D states something different from A, B, and C, it may be true. - If D states that "not all products or sums of irrational numbers yield irrational results," it would be true. ### Final Conclusion: - Statements A, B, and C are **false**. - Statement D is likely **true** based on the context provided.
