Full solution stays hidden until you ask for it.
1. Check whether the rational factor is zero.
2. If nonzero, product with an irrational remains irrational.
3. If zero, the product is 0, which is rational.
Use the worked steps, then substitute the final answer back into the original relationship to confirm it satisfies the prompt.
Ignoring the zero multiplier case.
