Let \(x\) be an irrational number. Which of the following statements is always true?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: If \(x\) is irrational, then \(2x\) is irrational.

If \(2x\) were rational, then \(x=(2x)/2\) would also be rational, a contradiction. Hence \(2x\) is irrational. But \(x^2\) need not be irrational: for \(x=\sqrt{2}\), \(x^2=2\). In exams, test claims using a counterexample.
