The function f(x) = –0.5x2 + 16x – 96 can be used to trace the path of a rocket, where the x-axis represents the ground and the y-axis measures the height of the rocket. The mathematical domain of the function is all real numbers. The reasonable domain of the function is when 8 ≤ x ≤ x greater than or equal to eight but less than or equal to what value?

1- 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.2- 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 the first question?
