If (\sqrt{p}) is irrational and (k) is a non-zero rational number, what type of number is (k\sqrt{p})?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Irrational
Step 1: A non-zero rational multiplier does not remove irrationality. Step 2: For example, (4\sqrt{3}) remains irrational. Step 3: The non-zero condition is important because multiplying by (0) gives (0).
