# 1 Give an example of two irrational numbers whose product is an irrational number.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The numbers \"sqrt%282%29\" and \"sqrt%283%29\" are both irrational and so is \"sqrt%282%29%2Asqrt%283%29=sqrt%282%2A3%29=sqrt%286%29\". So the product of \"sqrt%282%29\" and \"sqrt%283%29\" (both irrational) is \"sqrt%286%29\" (which is also irrational).\r
