OpenStudy (brucebaner):

a?

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

No, \[\sqrt{36} = 6 \implies \frac{ 6 }{ 1 } \implies rational\]

OpenStudy (brucebaner):

b

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

There is only one obvious one, that should stick out.

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Please, don't guess

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

What is the \[\sqrt{49} ?\]

OpenStudy (brucebaner):

sorry guys im not good at this :(

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Remember irrational numbers can't be written as fractions so something like pi, pi = 3.14159265....and you cannot simplify it into a ratio.

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

It's ok, don't worry that's why we're here to help you understand :)

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

\[\sqrt{49} \implies 7 \implies \frac{ 7 }{ 1 }\] so is this rational or irrational?

OpenStudy (brucebaner):

rational

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Good! Because we can treat it as a simple fraction, now the next one, do you think we can treat is as the others?

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

You would need a calculator for this one, so that should give you some hint :P

OpenStudy (brucebaner):

so i think D

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Why is D irrational?

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

What is the square root of 121

OpenStudy (brucebaner):

11

OpenStudy (brucebaner):

@Astrophysics

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Yes, good bruce, so we can treat that as 11/1 right, so that will be rational as well, meaning our answer is? :)

OpenStudy (brucebaner):

c
