OpenStudy (kayders1997):

An irrational number is a number that goes on forever and it's a repeating decimal

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

So what is the square root of 20 equal?

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

sprry an irrational number doesn't have a repeating decimal

MsBrains (ms-brains):

20=4.472135955

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

irational nuber meaning thatnks to google: A number that cannot be expressed as a ratio between two integers and is not an imaginary number. If written in decimal notation, an irrational number would have an infinite number of digits to the right of the decimal point, without repetition. Pi and the square root of 2 (√2) are irrational numbers.

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

i cant type lol sorry

OpenStudy (daniellelovee):

yup which means that it stops therefore it is not irrational

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Does that go on forever and is it a repeating decimal?

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

4.4721359549995793928183473374626 is what i get

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

so i assume it continues correct?

MsBrains (ms-brains):

So D is correct..?

MsBrains (ms-brains):

or A?

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Yes, and because it doesn't really have a definite ending and it isn't a repeating decimal it is an irrational number

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

it has to be without repitition.

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

D is a repeating decimal so it's not an irrational number

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

D is not correct.

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

A because the decimal doesn't repeat and it's a really long answer that doesn't really have a specific end

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

read the definition girly. square root squared is just the number its self so B is 10. so b isnt it. square root of 144 is 12 so C is not it. D is repetitive so D is not it. :) only option left is A :)

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

@Ms-Brains do you understand?

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

good luck i guess :)

MsBrains (ms-brains):

Yes I ubderstand. Thank you all very much!
