Allison:

Oooo uhm hold on.

Felicity96:

Dang it i know this

Allison:

I CAN'T THINK.

Allison:

Oh wait I think I got it. Square-root of 1/5 is 0.5. @Pixel is that rational or irrational?

Pixel:

rational it goes into 1/2

Pixel:

but what does 1/5 have to do with it

Allison:

2017-11-09.png

Allison:

We can cross out the first one because it's rational like you said. And we're looking for irrational numbers.

Allison:

Now the second one, square-root of 1/16 is 0.0625. Rational or irrational?

Pixel:

rational

Allison:

Then we leave that one.

Allison:

Square-root of 1/10 is 0.1. Rational or irrational?

Pixel:

rational

Allison:

Right

Allison:

Square-root of 1/4 is 0.25 Rational or irrational?

Pixel:

rational

Allison:

Square-root of 1/8 is 0.125 Rational or irrational?

Pixel:

rational

Allison:

Hold on these are all rational. Is there a "Non of the above"? Lmao. Omg. @Vocaloid

Pixel:

nope

Pixel:

@Vocaloid

ObtuseAngle:

I got this ;o

ObtuseAngle:

So irrational means not expressible as a ratio of two integers, and having an infinite and nonrecurring expansion when expressed as a decimal

Allison:

._.

ObtuseAngle:

im not done e.e

ObtuseAngle:

1/2 means .5 so does that go on infinity?

Pixel:

nu

ObtuseAngle:

So it is rational

ObtuseAngle:

1/16= .0625 is it rational or irrational

Pixel:

rational

Pixel:

ive said this

ObtuseAngle:

1/10= .1

ObtuseAngle:

rational or irrational?

Pixel:

rational

ObtuseAngle:

wait thats odd, these all appear to be rational, one second

ObtuseAngle:

I double check and they are all rational? thats strange

Allison:

That's what I said.

ObtuseAngle:

oh wait, i think i know whats wrong one minute

ObtuseAngle:

@Pixel is that the entire question/all the answer choices

Pixel:

yehs

ObtuseAngle:

I suggest you email your teach and send a screenshot of it saying they are all rational

ObtuseAngle:

with the question the only answer would be to leave it blank, but k12 would mark it as wrong if you leave it blank

ObtuseAngle:

@JustSaiyan does this make any sense to you?

Pixel:

he goin to lunch

ObtuseAngle:

@Hero

Pixel:

@pooja195 can you help me again i'm sorry for last night i was wrong for treating you like that please forgive me

@HuskyNation

HuskyNation:

Okay so

HuskyNation:

An Irrational Number is a real number that cannot be written as a simple fraction.

ObtuseAngle:

They are all rational though

ObtuseAngle:

I checked myself then with 2 calculators

HuskyNation:

Wrong

HuskyNation:

A rational number is a simple fraction for example 1/2 = .5 that is ractional Irrational is 1/3 = 0.333333333333333333333334

HuskyNation:

So the first one is square root of 0.5 which is 0.707106781 making it irrational

Pixel:

;o ur so smert

HuskyNation:

See @Ultrilliam Math is my stronghold ;)

HuskyNation:

Putting 1/16 in the calculator is 0.0625 that is irrational BUT

HuskyNation:

the square root is 0.0625 is 0.25 So making the second one rational

Pixel:

so you divide then square it?

Pixel:

.1 squared?

HuskyNation:

Well i divided it to find the decimal for the fractions easier for meh

Pixel:

0.316227766

HuskyNation:

Correct, making the third one irrational

HuskyNation:

Now for the fourth it is .25

Pixel:

.25 = .05 rational

HuskyNation:

squared .5

HuskyNation:

it is actually 0.5 :D

Pixel:

sorry .5

HuskyNation:

so it is rational

Pixel:

.125 = .25

HuskyNation:

correct so that is rational

Pixel:

so it is those

HuskyNation:

So that means you only check the 1st and 3rd one

HuskyNation:

because those are the IRRATIONAL ones

Pixel:

otai tank oooo huskeh

HuskyNation:

Of Course :D

HuskyNation:

the other people had no idea what they were talking about XD

ObtuseAngle:

e.e

ObtuseAngle:

i used a calculator so :3

HuskyNation:

i did as well, lol idk the square roots of decimals like that XD

ObtuseAngle:

no i meant i entered in the fractions and it said they were all rational

HuskyNation:

yeah the factions them self all are but you have to do the square root of those fractions :P

ObtuseAngle:

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yeah

ObtuseAngle:

mb

HuskyNation:

XD
