Select all numbers that are irrational. √144 √8 16π 0.45
Do you know what irrational numbers are?
Most of them.
Anything with pi, and under square root that cant be simplified to one whole number, and also fractions and decimals.
an irrational number is a decimal that does not repeat
and goes on for a long time, its basically anything that cant be put as a fraction
there's only 1 number that isn't irrational, which do u think it is?
C.
pi = 3.14 16*3.14 would give us a decimal, so it's irrational. A is the correct answer. it simplifies to 12
The irrationals are \[ \sqrt 8\\ 16 \pi \]
I'm sorry, i meant A is the only one that isn't irrational. All the rest are your correct answers.
\[\pi\] is not 3.14 3.14 is an approximation of \(\pi\)
Now I'm confused. Is all of them but A irrational or just B and C?
only the two I mentioned are irrationals \[ \sqrt {144}=12\\ .45=\frac{45}{100} \]
@eliesaab any number times pi is the same as times 3.14.
anyway, numbers times pi will give you a decimal, so pi is irrational.
any number rational number times \(\pi\) is irrationals
@Yuii Sorry for the confusion, your correct answers are B,C,D
Are you sure? This is my last attempt on this assignment.
I'm positive, B,C, and D are IRRATIONAL. A is RATIONAL. Double check from the question please.
Here is pi with 200 decimal places \[ \pi =3.14159265358979323846264338327950288419716939937510582097494459230781 64062862089986280348253421170679821480865132823066470938446095505822317253594081284811174502841027019385211055596446229489549303819644288109757 \]
@eliesaab Lol, you round it, if you round it it would end up being 3.142 the 2 isn't much of a value since it's at the 1000th. Ask your math teacher if you don't believe me.
Your answer should be B and C only. These are the irrational numbers
Eliesaab, D is a fraction...
decimal*
An irrational number is by definition a non repeating decimal like \(\pi\) and \(\sqrt 2\) etc
lol
You do not have to agree with me. That is your choice of getting the answer wrong
Eliesaab can you recap the correct answers?
B and C are the correct answer. Period
Ok, hope that's the correct answer.
It is.
@eliesaab but can you please read this?
I read it and so what
decimals do not exist on the *number line*
the number line has all real numbers, rational and irrationals, A rational number can be written as the quotient of two integers. An irrational number cannot be written as a quotient of two integers,
Proof says decimals do not exist on the number line. I'm not gonna debate further. Perhaps you take the say in this answer? :)
lol? that doesn't say anything about decimals being rational.
