A student wrote a proof about the product of two rational numbers: Let x = a/b and let y = c/d, where a and c are defined to be integers, and b and d are nonzero integers.
By substitution, xy = ac/bd.
By applying the closure property of integers and nonzero integers on multiplication, ac is an integer and bd is a nonzero integer.
What conclusion can the student now make about the product xy?
A- the product xy is a nonzero Integer because nonzero Integers are closed on division.
B- the product xy cannot be an integer because bd is a nonzero Integer.
C- the product xy may be elther rational or Irrational because the values of a, b, c, and d are unknown.
D- the product ry is rational because it can be written as the quotient of an Integer and a nonzero Integer.​
