Answer:
√5 is irrational
Step-by-step explanation:
A rational number is one that can be written exactly as an integer or ratio of integers. Written as a decimal number, it will have a finite number of digits, or a repeating decimal fraction.
<h3>Application</h3>
Usually, a number that can <em>only</em> be expressed <em>exactly</em> using a <em>symbol</em> will be irrational. For square roots, any root of an integer other than a perfect square will be irrational.
The integer 5 is not a perfect square. It is between the squares 2²=4 and 3²=9. The square root of 5 is irrational.

<em>Additional comment</em>
A reduced fraction whose denominator has factors other than 2 or 5 will translate to a repeating decimal. The number of repeating digits may be as many as 1 less than the denominator. For example, 1/19 has an 18-digit repeating decimal equivalent.

Answer:
D,0,2,-2
Step-by-step explanation:
2x^5-3x^3-20x=0
x(2x^4-3x^2-20)=0
x=0
or 2x^4-3x^2-20=0
put x²=t
2t²-3t-20=0
-20×2=-40
8-5=3
8×-5=-40
2t²-(8-5)t-20=0
2t²-8t+5t-20=0
2t(t-4)+5(t-4)=0
(t-4)(2t+5)=0
t=4
x²=4
x=2,-2
t=-5/2
x²=-5/2
it gives imaginary root. so real rational roots are 0,2,-2
