If \(r\) is a rational number and \(x\) is an irrational number, which of the following will always be irrational?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(r+x\)

\(r+x\) is always irrational. If \(r+x\) were rational, then \(x=(r+x)-r\) would be rational as the difference of two rational numbers. This contradicts the fact that \(x\) is irrational. \(rx\) is not always irrational because it becomes 0 when \(r=0\). Also, for \(x=\sqrt{2}\), \(x^2=2\) is rational, and \(x/x=1\). Exam tip: Adding or subtracting a rational number and an irrational number always gives an irrational number.
