OpenStudy (legomyego180):
yup
OpenStudy (baozipotato97):
An Irrational number is a number that cannot be expressed as the ratio of two integers. So Yes, you are correct :)
OpenStudy (errinss):
how about this one?
OpenStudy (agent0smith):
1/9 is a fraction... irrational means cannot be written as a fraction.

\[\frac{ 1 }{ 9 }\] is a rational number. You are incorrect
OpenStudy (errinss):
oh...lol
OpenStudy (errinss):
C
OpenStudy (errinss):
or A lol
OpenStudy (agent0smith):
If it's not a perfect square under the square root then it's irrational

Repeating decimals are rational
OpenStudy (errinss):
ok so C \[\sqrt{12}\]
OpenStudy (agent0smith):
Yes
OpenStudy (errinss):
this one im lost kinda
OpenStudy (errinss):
i know B and D are rational

If it is not a perfect square, it's irrational. That's all you need here.
OpenStudy (errinss):
ok i think A is the answer because 169 sqrt is 13
OpenStudy (agent0smith):
You can always use a calculator.
OpenStudy (baozipotato97):
A. \[\sqrt{42}\]It's an Irrational number. The rest are rational.
OpenStudy (errinss):
how about this

Use the same rules you've used so far for all the square roots
OpenStudy (errinss):
well \[\sqrt{25}=5\]
and \[\sqrt{225}=15\]
OpenStudy (baozipotato97):
Correct. Good Job :)
OpenStudy (errinss):
im not sure about 3 and 4 tho
OpenStudy (agent0smith):
Well are they perfect squares or not?

OpenStudy (baozipotato97):
Nope they are correct :)
OpenStudy (errinss):
no i dont think so
OpenStudy (agent0smith):
Use a calculator. Check for yourself. If they do not equal a whole number they're irrational.
OpenStudy (errinss):
and this one?
OpenStudy (agent0smith):
You should know by now ;) same rules as every other question so far

OpenStudy (errinss):
it asked for the squared roots for both
OpenStudy (agent0smith):
What's 40/10?
OpenStudy (errinss):

Good...
OpenStudy (errinss):
lol took me a lil lol so then its rational
OpenStudy (agent0smith):
Much better. Always simplify things first.
OpenStudy (errinss):
cuz sqrt of 4 is 2
OpenStudy (errinss):
thank you ^_^
