FYI: Not from a test and it is to get my grades up, please help<3
the best way to approach this problem is to look for *irrational* numbers and eliminate any answer choices with those as a reminder, an irrational number cannot be written as the quotient of two integers (a/b). non-perfect square roots are irrational pi is also irrational with that in mind, what do you think?
i think maybe c or b
pi is irrational, so it can't be B (you're looking for an answer choice with *no* irrational numbers) additionally, 41 is not a perfect square, so sqrt(41) is irrational, eliminating C try to think carefully about what numbers are perfect squares or not. remember that perfect squares have integer square roots (like sqrt(1) = 1, sqrt(4) = 2, etc.)
im thinking D now
yeah! it was D
tysmmm!
good, D only has an integer, terminating decimals, and the square root of 100 which is simply 10 so it's rational, making D the only one w/ only rational numbers
