Math Problem Statement

Solution

To identify the irrational numbers from the list provided, let's analyze each option:

  1. 23\frac{2}{3}: This is a fraction of two integers, which makes it a rational number.

  2. 20\sqrt{20}: The square root of 20 cannot be simplified to a whole number or a fraction. It is an irrational number because it results in a non-repeating, non-terminating decimal.

  3. 0.2456532563120.245653256312 \ldots: This number appears to be a non-repeating, non-terminating decimal. Since it does not terminate or repeat, it is an irrational number.

  4. 4.9-4.9: This is a terminating decimal and can be expressed as 4910\frac{-49}{10}, so it is a rational number.

  5. 5.111115.11111\ldots: This number is a repeating decimal and can be expressed as a fraction, making it a rational number.

Therefore, the irrational numbers in this list are:

  • 20\sqrt{20}
  • 0.2456532563120.245653256312 \ldots
