Now consider the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number. Again, assume x = where a and b are integers and b +0. This time let y be an irrational number. If we assume the product x.
y is rational, we can set the product equal to , where mand n are integers and n + 0. The steps for
solving this equation for y are shown.
Reason
Statement
x. y =
y="
substitution
y =
multiplication property of equality
w

y =
na
Simplify
Based on what we established about the classification of y and using the closure of integers, what does
the equation tell you about the type of number y must be for the product to be rational? What conclusion
can you now make about the result of multiplying a rational and an irrational number?

You drop a rubber ball off the roof of a 50 meter high building onto a paved parking lot. it bounces back up with every bounce, but not quite all the way back up to you. after the first bounce it bounces back only 80 percent of the distance it was dropped from. the pattern continues, meaning after every bounce it comes up to just 80 percent of the previous maximum height. so if before the first bounce the height is 50 meters, what height does the ball reach after the fifth bounce? round your answer to one decimal place and chose the correct response from the choices below:
