QuestionIdentify the irrational numbers from the following: a. , b. , c. , d. , e. , f. . Select all that apply.
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. An irrational number cannot be expressed as a ratio of two integers.
. The square root of a non-perfect square is an irrational number.
3. The square root of a perfect square is a rational number.
4. A rational number subtracted or divided by an irrational number results in an irrational number.
STEP 2
We need to find out if is a rational or irrational number. Since42 is not a perfect square, its square root will be an irrational number.
STEP 3
We need to find out if is a rational or irrational number. Since36 is a perfect square (6*6), its square root will be a rational number.
STEP 4
We need to find out if is a rational or irrational number. Since361 is a perfect square (19*19), its square root will be a rational number.
STEP 5
We need to find out if is a rational or irrational number. Since18 is not a perfect square, its square root will be an irrational number.
STEP 6
We need to find out if is a rational or irrational number. Since is an irrational number (2 is not a perfect square), will also be an irrational number as it is a rational number (2) subtracted from a product of a rational number and an irrational number.
STEP 7
We need to find out if is a rational or irrational number. Since is an irrational number (3 is not a perfect square), will also be an irrational number as it is an irrational number divided by a rational number.
STEP 8
So, the irrational numbers among the given options are , , , and .
The solution is A. , B. ,. , and F. .
