Use the function nest to evaluate p(x) = 1 + x + · · · + x50 at x = 1.00001. (use the matlab ones command to save typing.) find the error of the computation by comparing with the equivalent expression q(x) = (x51 − 1)/(x − 1).

1- is the product of two rational numbers irrational or rational? first, make a hypothesis by multiplying two rational numbers. then, use variables such as x=a/b and y=c/d and the closure property of integers to prove your hypothesis. 2- 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. 3- 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 part b?
