Sufficient or necessary conditions for irrational numbers.

77 Views Asked by At

Today in class we saw that the sum of an irrational with a rational gives an irrational, but not necessarily that the sum of irrationals gives an irrational.

And I was wondering what sufficient or necessary conditions you would have to satisfy two irrational numbers $a$ and $b$ for their sum to be irrational. Could someone help me with an answer.
