am i right?

OpenStudy (errinss):

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.

OpenStudy (baozipotato97):

\[\frac{ 1 }{ 9 }\] 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

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

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

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

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

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

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):

so im right....

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

what's 40/10?

OpenStudy (errinss):

it asked for the squared roots for both

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

What's 40/10?

OpenStudy (errinss):

ugh....uhm......hm.....uh.........4

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

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 ^_^
