1 answer

To determine which of the provided options includes a rational number and an irrational number between \( 6 - \sqrt{} \) and \( 8 - \sqrt{} \), let's first clarify the notation:

  • \( 6 - \sqrt{} \) is likely a shorthand for \( 6 - \sqrt{n} \) where \( n \) is some integer or expression.
  • Similarly, \( 8 - \sqrt{} \) would be \( 8 - \sqrt{m} \).

Since the specific values of \( n \) and \( m \) are not provided, let's interpret \( 6 - \sqrt{} \) and \( 8 - \sqrt{} \) to represent numbers that can be evaluated based on the context of the options.

Looking at the options:

  1. 2.7, 9–√

    • 2.7 is a rational number.
    • \( \sqrt{9} = 3 \), which is a rational number as well, so this option is not valid.
  2. 2.5, π

    • 2.5 is a rational number.
    • π (pi) is an irrational number. So this option is valid.
  3. 94, 7–√

    • 94 is a rational number.
    • \( \sqrt{7} \) is an irrational number, but the lower end \( 6 - \sqrt{7} \) doesn't fit the constraints provided, so this option is not valid.
  4. 2.6¯¯¯, 7–√

    • \( 2.6¯¯¯ \) (which we can interpret as 2.666...) is still a rational number.
    • \( \sqrt{7} \) is an irrational number. Similar to the previous choice, the range does not meet the criteria.

The only valid option that includes a rational number and an irrational number within the specified bounds is 2.5, π.
