(√8 , √9 , √10 )
(-7.4, 0, 3.232323..., √25 )
(√2 , √5 , 𝛑 )
(-⅚ , ⅞ , π/2 )

Option: rational numbers only, irrational numbers only, both rational and irrational numbers

1 answer

To categorize the provided number sets, let's analyze each one:

  1. (√8 , √9 , √10):

    • √9 is a rational number (it equals 3).
    • √8 and √10 are both irrational numbers.
    • This set contains both rational and irrational numbers.
  2. (-7.4, 0, 3.232323..., √25):

    • -7.4 is rational.
    • 0 is rational.
    • 3.232323... (which is 3.23 recurring) is rational.
    • √25 is rational (it equals 5).
    • This set consists entirely of rational numbers.
  3. (√2 , √5 , π):

    • All three numbers (√2, √5, and π) are irrational.
    • This set consists entirely of irrational numbers.
  4. (-⅚ , ⅞ , π/2):

    • -⅚ and ⅞ are both rational numbers.
    • π/2 is irrational.
    • This set contains both rational and irrational numbers.

Now, summarizing these findings:

  • Set 1: both rational and irrational numbers
  • Set 2: rational numbers only
  • Set 3: irrational numbers only
  • Set 4: both rational and irrational numbers

Putting these responses in the correct input would look like this:

  1. (√8 , √9 , √10) - both rational and irrational numbers
  2. (-7.4, 0, 3.232323..., √25) - rational numbers only
  3. (√2 , √5 , π) - irrational numbers only
  4. (-⅚ , ⅞ , π/2) - both rational and irrational numbers
