I will go with B. because there's 2 red marbles and there's 16 marbles in total and you will have to simplify  that and get 1/8.

Select all irrational numbers.
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

OPTION A

OPTION B

OPTION C

Step-by-step explanation:

Irrational numbers are the subset of real numbers. Their decimal representation neither form a pattern nor terminate.

OPTION A: $ \sqrt{\frac{1}{2}} $

This is equal to $ \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} $.

$ \sqrt{2} = 1.414... $ is non-terminating. So, it is an irrational number. Hence, the reciprocal of an irrational number would also be irrational. So, OPTION A is irrational.

OPTION B: $ \sqrt{\frac{1}{8}} $

This is equal to $ \frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}} $. Using the same logic as Option A, we regard OPTION B to be irrational as well.

OPTION C: $ \sqrt{\frac{1}{10}} $

This is equal to $ \frac{1}{\sqrt{5}\sqrt{2}} $.

Both $ \sqrt{5} $ and $ \sqrt{2} $ are irrational. So, the product and the reciprocal of the product is irrational as well. So, OPTION C is an irrational number.

OPTION D: $ \sqrt{\frac{1}{16}} $

16 is a perfect square and is a rational number. $ \frac{1}{\sqrt{16}} $ = $ \frac{1}{4} $. This is equal to 0.25, a terminating decimal. So, OPTION D is a rational number.

OPTION E: $ \sqrt{\frac{1}{4}} $

4 is a perfect square as well. $ \frac{1}{\sqrt{4}} = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5 $, a terminating decimal. So, OPTION E is a rational number.

What is the first step in solving this system by elimination?
kherson [118]

You want to try and get rid of one of the variables ( x or y) so you would multiply the second equation by 2 which would make the x variable -2x which then when added to the first equation would eliminate the x variable.

Answer: c. Multiply the second equation by 2.
