Answer:
This is because anything multiplied by zero is zero itself.
Step-by-step explanation:
Ex: Multiply
[tex] 2 \times \sqrt{2} [/tex]
Here 2 is rational and root. 2 is irrational.
Their product is
[tex]2 \sqrt{2} [/tex]
Which is irrational.
But if you have
[tex]0 \times \sqrt{2} [/tex]
Where 0 is rational and root .2 is irrational.
Their product is
[tex]0[/tex]
Whis is rational.
Hope this helps... :-)
