Using the numbers 5, 8, and 24, create a problem using no more than four operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, square, square root, cube, cube root) where the solution will be an irrational number. Explain why the result of your operations is an irrational number.

Please give me an example.

sqrt(5)+(8/24)*5 could be one possibility. The square root of any non-square number is always going to be irrational.
