1 answer

To determine which of the given responses is irrational, let's analyze each option:

  1. \( \sqrt[3]{4} \): The cube root of 4 is an irrational number since it cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers.

  2. \( 3.6363636363636363... \): This is a repeating decimal (that can be expressed as \( \frac{11}{3} \)), which is a rational number.

  3. \( -7837 \frac{8}{37} \): This is a rational number since both the integer part (-7837) and the fractional part (\( \frac{8}{37} \)) can be expressed as a fraction.

  4. \( 52.781654292 \): This is a finite decimal and can be represented as a fraction, so it is also a rational number.

Based on this analysis, the irrational number among the options is:

  • \( \sqrt[3]{4} \).
