Hi there!

I believe your answer is:

The square root of 5 ( $\sqrt{5}$ ) is irrational.

»»————-　★　————-««

Here’s why:

A rational number is a number that can be rewritten as a fraction of two integers with a nonzero denominator.

Rational numbers include integers, fractions, terminating decimal, or repeating decimals.
A square root that is perfect would be rational. A non-perfect square root is irrational.

⸻⸻⸻⸻

Since the square root of 5 is not a perfect square, it would be irrational.

⸻⸻⸻⸻

Hope this helps you. I apologize if it’s incorrect.

Answer:

$\frac{ - 4 + 4i}{ - 3 - 6i} \\ \frac{ - 4 + 4i}{ - 3 - 6i} \times \frac{ - 3 + 6i}{ - 3 + 6i} \\ = \frac{12 - 24i - 12i + 24 {i}^{2} }{ {( - 3)}^{2} - {(6i)}^{2} } \\ = \frac{ - 12 - 36i}{45} \\ = \frac{ - 12}{45} \frac{ - 36i}{45} \\ than \: you$
