Heya ✋
Let see your answer !!!!
(5 - √5) (5 + √5)
= 5(5 + √5) - √5(5 + √5)
= 25 + 5√5 - 5√5 - 5
= 25 - 5
= 20
Hence , (5 - √5) (5 + √5) is a rational number.
Thanks :))))

Concept
Rational numbers are numbers that can be expressed as a fraction as well as positive numbers, negative numbers, and zero. It can be written as p/q, where q is not equal to zero.
The word "rational" is derived from the word "ratio" which actually means the comparison of two or more values or whole numbers and is known as a fraction. Simply put, it is the ratio of two integers.
The numbers that are not rational are irrational numbers
Given
(5-√5)(5+√5) is given
Find
We need to find that (5-√5)(5+√5) is rational or irrational
Solution
Using property (a+b)(a-b) = a^2 - b^2, we get
(5-√5)(5+√5)= 5^2 - (√5)^2
= 25 - 5
=20
20 is a rational number
Hence (5-√5)(5+√5) is rational number
