(√8 , √9 , √10 )

1 answer

To analyze the given sets, we first need to identify the nature of each number in each set.

  1. (√2, √5, π)

    • All numbers are irrational. √2 and √5 are square roots of non-perfect squares, and π is a well-known irrational number.
  2. (-7.4, 0, 3.232323...)

    • The numbers are a mix of decimal (−7.4), whole number (0), and repeating decimal (3.232323...). Here, 3.232323... is a rational number.
  3. (-⅚, ⅞, π/2)

    • The first two numbers (-⅚ and ⅞) are rational, while π/2 is irrational.
  4. (√8, √9, √10)

    • √8 and √10 are irrational, but √9 is 3, which is rational.

Based on the analysis, each set can be described as follows:

  1. Set 1: All members are irrational.
  2. Set 2: Contains rational and irrational numbers.
  3. Set 3: Contains both rational and irrational numbers.
  4. Set 4: Contains both rational and irrational numbers.

Thus, from the logical breakdown, the set descriptions can be matched as desired. If the task requires picking a specific description overall, the first set that may resonate with purely containing rational or irrational numbers is the interpretation it can be broken down into.
