What type of number is $\bf{\sqrt 5}?$ Select all that apply

$\Large\maltese\underline{\textsf{B. This problem has been solved!}}$

Let's start by taking a look at all the four sets of numbers.

A: Whole number

{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22...∞}

The set is shown above. To be honest, this is an infinitely small part of the number set; the whole number set would take FOREVER to type ;)

B: Integers

{∞...-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9...∞}

Wow, this set starts at negative infinity and ends at positive infinity!

C: Rational

This set consists of all integers, decimals, and fractions.

D: Irrational

That's where the desired number $\bf{\sqrt{5}}$ belongs!
