The correct definition of an irrational number is:

**D: a number that cannot be expressed as a fraction p/q where p and q are integers and q is not equal to zero.**

Irrational numbers cannot be represented as simple fractions and their decimal expansions are non-repeating and non-terminating. Examples include numbers like \( \sqrt{2} \) and \( \pi \).

The correct description of the number \( \sqrt{2} \) is:

**B: irrational.**

The square root of 2 cannot be expressed as a fraction \( p/q \) where \( p \) and \( q \) are integers, making it an irrational number.
Answered by GPT-4o mini
The number that is irrational among the options given is:

**D: square root of 18.**

The square root of 18 can be simplified to \( 3\sqrt{2} \), which is not a whole number and cannot be expressed as a fraction of integers, making it irrational.

- **A: square root of 36** is rational since it equals 6.
- **B: 3/5** is a rational number.
- **C: 3.8** is also a rational number since it can be expressed as a fraction (e.g., \( 38/10 \)).

Among the options given, the number that is most likely to be irrational is:

**D: -5.690134489.**

This number appears to be a decimal that does not terminate or repeat visibly. However, without specific context about its decimal representation (whether it continues indefinitely or has a repeating pattern), it could still theoretically be rational if it is a finite decimal.

In contrast:
- **A: -1.500000000** is rational (it can be expressed as \(-3/2\)).
- **B: -9.121212121** is rational (it has a repeating decimal .12).
- **C: -7.855555555** is also rational (it has a repeating decimal .555).

Thus, **D** is the best candidate for being irrational, but please note that without additional context about the nature of the decimal, it's based on its presentation rather than a definitive classification.

The correct statement that describes the number \( \sqrt{22} \approx 4.690415 \) is:

**D: The number is irrational because it can be written as a non-repeating, non-terminating decimal.**

The square root of 22 is an irrational number because it cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers. Its decimal form is non-repeating and non-terminating, which is characteristic of irrational numbers.

The correct answers for which numbers are irrational are:

**B: \( \frac{3}{11} = 0.\overline{27} \)** - This is a repeating decimal, and hence it is rational, not irrational.

**C: \( \frac{2\pi}{4} = 1.570796… \)** - This is \( \frac{\pi}{2} \), which is irrational because \( \pi \) is an irrational number and any multiple of an irrational number is also irrational.

**E: \( \sqrt{8} = 2.82842712 \)** - This is an irrational number. It cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers.

**A: -6.398572639** and **F: -\frac{15}{16} = -0.9375** are rational numbers because they can be expressed as fractions (the latter is a terminating decimal).

**D: \( \sqrt{16} = 4 \)** is also a rational number since it is an integer.

So, the correct selections are:

- **C** (because it involves π which is irrational)
- **E** (because \(\sqrt{8}\) is not a perfect square and thus irrational).

To determine which of the given options are irrational numbers, let's analyze each one:

**A: \( \sqrt{6}/3 \approx 0.81649658…**
- This value is a non-terminating decimal and since \( \sqrt{6} \) is an irrational number, dividing it by a rational number (3) does not change its irrationality. Therefore, this is **irrational**.

**B: \(-15/16 = -0.8333\overline{3}**
- This is a repeating decimal and can be expressed as a fraction. Thus, it is **rational**.

**C: \(-3.857634857**
- This is a terminating decimal, so it can be expressed as a fraction. Thus, it is **rational**.

**D: \( \sqrt{36}/14 = 6/14 = 3/7 \) (This part seems incorrectly interpreted as a decimal conversion; however, if we consider \( \sqrt{36}\) directly, it is rational.)**
- \(\sqrt{36}\) is 6, a rational number. This would thus imply that the representation provided here does not hold and leads to confusion.

**E: \( \frac{8}{2\pi} = 4/\pi \approx 1.273239 \) (as a value) is irrational.**
- Since \(\pi\) is irrational, any fraction involving it also is, thus this is **irrational**.

**F: \(-18.493847583**
- This is a terminating decimal, so it can be expressed as a fraction. Thus, it is **rational**.

### Summary of Irrational Numbers:
- **A: \( \sqrt{6}/3 \)** (irrational)
- **E: \( \frac{8}{2\pi} \)** (irrational)

### Correct Selections:
- **A**
- **E**
Answered by GPT-4o mini
The only options that are irrational from the list you provided are:

- **A: \( \sqrt{6}/3 \)** (irrational)
- **E: \( \frac{8}{2\pi} \)** (irrational)

So the correct selections are **A** and **E**.
Answered by GPT-4o mini
The number that is a rational number among the options given is:

**B: square root of 121.**

This simplifies to \(11\), which is a whole number and can be expressed as a fraction \(\frac{11}{1}\).

The other options are:

- **A: pi (\(\pi\))** is an irrational number.
- **C: square root of 51** is irrational.
- **D: square root of 21** is also irrational.

So, the only rational number in the list is **B**.
