Rational numbers are closed under squaring. Rational numbers are closed under multiplication, which means that multiplying two rational numbers will always result in another rational number. Since squaring is multiplication, rational numbers are closed under squaring.
Irrational numbers are not closed under addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
In addition, we have proved that even the set of irrationals also is neither open nor closed.
Closure property For two rational numbers say x and y the results of addition, subtraction and multiplication operations give a rational number. We can say that rational numbers are closed under addition, subtraction and multiplication. For example: (7/6)+(2/5) = 47/30.
The closure property states that for any two rational numbers a and b, a + b is also a rational number. The result is a rational number. So we say that rational numbers are closed under addition.

The closure property of rational numbers states that when any two rational numbers are added, subtracted, or multiplied, the result of all three cases will also be a rational number.

The algebraic closure A of Q is the field of algebraic numbers, which consists of those complex numbers which are roots of some non-zero polynomial in one variable with rational coefficients. It is a countable set and therefore A⊊C.
The closure property of addition states that when any two elements of a set are added, their sum will also be present in that set. The closure property formula for addition for a given set S is: ∀ a, b ∈ S ⇒ a + b ∈ S.
