Answer:

always True

sometimes true

sometimes true

always true

sometimes true

always true

Step-by-step explanation:

As product of non-zero rational number and irrational number is irrational,

3x is an irrational number : always True

Take [tex]x=\sqrt[3]{2}[/tex]

Here, [tex]x[/tex] is an irrational number.

[tex]x^2=(\sqrt[3]{2})^2=2^{\frac{2}{3} }[/tex] is also an irrational number

Now take [tex]x=\sqrt{2}[/tex]

Here, [tex]x[/tex] is an irrational number.

[tex]x^2=(\sqrt{2})^2=2[/tex] is a rational number

So,

[tex]x^2[/tex] is a rational number: sometimes true

Take [tex]x=\sqrt{2} \,,y=\sqrt{3}[/tex]

Here, [tex]x,y[/tex] are irrational numbers.

[tex]xy=\sqrt{2}\sqrt{3}=\sqrt{6}[/tex] is also an irrational number.

Now take [tex]x=\sqrt{2} \,,y=\sqrt{8}[/tex]

Here, [tex]x,y[/tex] are irrational numbers.

[tex]xy=\sqrt{2} \sqrt{8}=\sqrt{16}=4[/tex] is a rational number.

So,

[tex]xy[/tex] is a rational number: sometimes true

As sum of a rational number and an irrational number is always irrational,

[tex]x+3[/tex] is an irrational number: always true

Take [tex]x=\sqrt{2} \,,y=-\sqrt{2}[/tex]

Here, [tex]x,y[/tex] are irrational numbers.

[tex]x+y=\sqrt{2} +(-\sqrt{2})=0[/tex] is a rational number

Now take [tex]x=\sqrt{2}\,,\,y=\sqrt{3}[/tex]

Here, [tex]x,y[/tex] are irrational numbers.

[tex]x+y=\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{3}[/tex] is an irrational number.

So,

[tex]x+y[/tex] is a rational number: sometimes true

As difference of two irrational numbers is always irrational,

[tex]x-y[/tex] is an irrational number: always true
