A student says, “The product of two irrational numbers is always irrational.” Which of the following examples proves that the statement is wrong?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(\sqrt{2}\times\sqrt{8}=4\)

Both \(\sqrt{2}\) and \(\sqrt{8}\) are irrational, but \(\sqrt{2}\times\sqrt{8}=\sqrt{16}=4\), which is rational. Hence the word “always” makes the statement false. Exam tip: disprove universal claims using one counterexample.
