(05.08a)triangle abc is transformed to similar triangle a′b′c′ below: a coordinate plane is shown. triangle abc has vertices a at 2 comma 6, b at 2 comma 4, and c at 4 comma 4. triangle a prime b prime c prime has vertices a prime at 1 comma 3, b prime at 1 comma 2, and c prime at 2 comma 2. what is the scale factor of dilation? 1 over 2 1 over 3 1 over 4 1 over 5

1- is the product of two rational numbers irrational or rational? first, make a hypothesis by multiplying two rational numbers. then, use variables such as x=a/b and y=c/d and the closure property of integers to prove your hypothesis. 2- what do you think the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is? is it rational or irrational? make use of variables, the closure property of integers, and possibly a proof by contradiction to prove your hypothesis. 3- why do we have to specify that the rational number must be nonzero when we determine what the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is? if the rational number were 0, would it give us the same result we found in part b?
