OpenStudy (myth1111):

Ok, I got it. Three of the answer choices are square numbers. The one that isn't a square number is the answer.

OpenStudy (myth1111):

Which one do you think it is?

OpenStudy (myth1111):

And it's not B.

OpenStudy (mahmood786123):

I'm pretty sure it's against the CoC to give the correct answer without helping, but... it's D.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats not what I'm saying, i posted this 30 min ago and I've still have had no help.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you "help" me with this one?

OpenStudy (myth1111):

Let's see. 1 min.

OpenStudy (myth1111):

2 of them are square numbers, 2 aren't square.. The ones that are square are rational, and vice-versa.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you have to find if the numbers are rational or irrational

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do you know if they are "square"?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what u can multiply them by 4 or something?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry *divide

OpenStudy (myth1111):

Well, 9 is a square number because 3*3 = 9.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

WAIT! what does square mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh i see

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 9 is rational

OpenStudy (myth1111):

A square number is a number that can be achieved by multiplying the same number with itself (x*x or \[x^{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u there?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so \[\sqrt{39}\] is irrational?

OpenStudy (myth1111):

Yeah.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and \[\sqrt{48}\] is irrational?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and \[\sqrt{289 }\] is rational

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right @myth1111

OpenStudy (anonymous):

???

OpenStudy (myth1111):

Yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

does this look right?

OpenStudy (myth1111):

Great!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this ones a little harder.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@myth1111

OpenStudy (myth1111):

Hmm... Well, the radical of a fraction is always irrational unless the fraction is improper.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (myth1111):

Repeating decimals, or decimals that have an end, are rational.

OpenStudy (myth1111):

And pi is an irrational number, so dividing it by 2 isn't going to change anything.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so c is rational?

OpenStudy (myth1111):

Yeah.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what about that 4th one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ \pi }{ 2 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what about that 1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it irrational?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@myth1111

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Find all the square roots first. Tell me what you get

OpenStudy (myth1111):

Did you see my post? Pi is an irrational number.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its irrational!

OpenStudy (myth1111):

Yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sammixboo (sammixboo):
