Plzzz help me it's due today​

1- is the product of two rational numbers irrational or rational? first, make a hypothesis by multiplying two rational numbers. then, use variables such as x=a/b and y=c/d and the closure property of integers to prove your hypothesis. 2- what do you think the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is? is it rational or irrational? make use of variables, the closure property of integers, and possibly a proof by contradiction to prove your hypothesis. 3- why do we have to specify that the rational number must be nonzero when we determine what the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is? if the rational number were 0, would it give us the same result we found in part b?

1) you deposit $2,500 in an account that earns 4% simple interest. how much do you earn in eight years?

Evaluate this using ! 0.25^2 x 2.4 + 0.25 x 2.4^2 − 0.25 x 2.4 x 0.65
