Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem presented asks for the identification of pairs of irrational and rational square roots, in order, from the given expressions. Let's evaluate each pair:
-
and
- is irrational.
- , which is rational.
This pair matches the condition: irrational followed by rational.
-
and
- is irrational.
- simplifies to , which is still irrational.
This pair does not match the condition.
-
and
- , which is rational.
- , which is also rational.
This pair does not match the condition (both are rational).
-
and
- is irrational.
- , which is rational.
This pair matches the condition: irrational followed by rational.
-
and
- Both and are irrational.
This pair does not match the condition.
Conclusion:
The pairs that match the condition of irrational and rational square roots in sequence are:
- and
- and
