1)
An irrational number is a number that a) can't be written as a fraction of two whole numbers AND b) is an infinite decimal without any sort of pattern.
For the first answer choice, clearly
does not pass the first criterion so we look at the second choice.
Let's come back to
and 
.
doesn't meet our first criterion, and let's skip 
for now.
It is often easier to disprove an irrational number than to prove one. There are a few famous irrationals to know (although there is an infinite number of irrationals). The most common are
. For now, it's just helpful to know these and recognize them.
So we can check off
and .
2)
For this next question, we know that
. Clearly this isn't irrational. Likewise, 
isn't irrational. 
, which is rational, leaving only 
. By process of elimination, this is the correct answer. Indeed, 
is an irrational number.
3) This notation means that we have 0.3636363636... and so on, to an infinite number of digits. It is called a repeating decimal.
But it can be written as a fraction because its pattern repeats, unlike for an irrational number.
Let's say
. Would you agree that 
? (We choose to multiply by 100 because there are two decimals that repeat. For 1, choose 10, for 3 choose 1,000, and so on.)
Now, let's subtract x from 100x and solve.
Voila!

Voila!
to get the inverse of any expression, we start off by doing a quick switcheroo on the variables and then solve for "y".
