Which number is irrational? (Question is in the comments)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how can i help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A. 0.46 B. \[\sqrt{100}\] over 3 C. \[\sqrt{8}\] D. 0.8 (Repeating)

OpenStudy (love_ranaa):

Heads up: If the answer is a terminating or repeating number, it is not an irrational number, so cross those out

OpenStudy (love_ranaa):

So we can see right now that D and A are crossed out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Would it be B?

OpenStudy (love_ranaa):

The square root of 100 is 10 divided by 3 is 3.3 (repeating) The square root of 8 is 2.842 So what do you think?

OpenStudy (misty1212):

HI!!

OpenStudy (misty1212):

i think it would be a miracle if \(\sqrt{8}=2.842\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C? and HII

OpenStudy (misty1212):

the square root of any number that is not a prefect square is irrational

OpenStudy (misty1212):

8 is not a perfect square

OpenStudy (misty1212):

so pick \(\sqrt8\)

OpenStudy (love_ranaa):

Right :) The answer is C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you guys mind helping me with a couple more? xD

OpenStudy (love_ranaa):

I know 8 is 2.842 I just was trying to get down to a few numbers @studier97170 Sure

OpenStudy (love_ranaa):
