Final answer:

Not all radicals result in irrational numbers when added together, as some radicals simplify to rational numbers.


Explanation:

No, some radicals simplify to rational numbers. While radicals represent numbers that are expressed with a root symbol, such as √2, not all of them lead to irrational sums when added together. For example, the square root of 4 ( √4) equals 2, which is a rational number.
