Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's analyze the numbers in the table to determine whether they are rational or irrational:
-
: This represents a repeating decimal (). Repeating decimals are always rational numbers.
-
: This fraction simplifies to , which is a terminating decimal. Terminating decimals are rational numbers.
-
: is an irrational number. Multiplying it by still results in an irrational number.
-
: The square root of 6 is not a perfect square and cannot be simplified to a fraction, so it is irrational.
-
: The square root of 4 is 2, and is , which is a rational number.
Now, I'll fill in the table based on this analysis:
- : Rational
- : Rational
- : Irrational
- : Irrational
- : Rational
If you have any questions or need more details, feel free to ask! Here are some related questions to explore:
- What are the properties of rational numbers?
- How do you identify if a square root is rational or irrational?
- Why are repeating decimals always considered rational?
- Can a product of a rational and an irrational number ever be rational?
- What is the difference between a terminating and a repeating decimal?
Tip: When dealing with square roots, remember that only the square roots of perfect squares are rational.
