Alexa is ordering a taxi from an online taxi service. The taxi charges $4 just for the pickup and then an additional $1.25 per mile driven. How much would a taxi ride cost if Alexa is riding for 9 miles? How much would a taxi ride cost that is mm miles long?

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?
