Answer:

D. √2

Step-by-step explanation:

Any finite-length decimal number, positive or negative, is rational. The square root of a perfect square, such as √4 = √(2²) = 2, is also a rational number.

The number 2 is not a perfect square, so its square root is irrational.

The only irrational number on the list is √2, choice D.

<em>Additional comment</em>

Your calculator can help you identify square roots (and other roots) that are irrational. If the square root has more digits in its decimal fraction than the original number does, then it is irrational.

<u>Examples</u>:

√6.25 = 2.5 . . . . root has 1 decimal digit, original number has 2. This number is rational.

√6.24 ≈ 2.49799919936 . . . . root has an infinite number of decimal digits. The number shown is limited by the available calculator display. It is more digits than the original number has. This number is irrational.

If a number with a decimal fraction is a perfect square, the number of fractional digits in its square root will be half as many as in the original number. Above, 6.25 has 2 fractional digits; its root 2.5 has 1 fractional digit--half as many. (A rational cube root will have 1/3 as many fractional digits.)

What are the vertical asymptote(s) and hole(s) for the graph of y= x-1 over X squared + 6x+ 8

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

You have vertical asymptotes on x=-4,-2

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is very simple. Since you have a denominator all you need to do is factor the bottom and find the zeros. When you factor the bottom of the equation you should get (x+4)(x+2). Now you have to set the bottom equal to zero to find the zeros. This means (x+4)=0 and (x+2)=0 So you get two answers x=-4 and x=-2 Therefore your two vertical asymptotes are on x-4,-2

What is the measure of BC⏜ ? Enter your answer in the box. ° Circle with inscribed angle B D C. Angle B D C is 65 degrees.

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Minor arc BC - 130° (arc at which inscribed angle is subtended)

The major arc BC - 230°

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle BDC is inscribed angle subtended on the arc BC.

The measure of the angle BDC is 65°.

The Central Angle Theorem states that the central angle from two chosen points B and C on the circle is always twice the inscribed angle from those two points.

By the central angle theorem, the measure of central angle BOC (O is the center of the circle) has the measure of

$2\cdot 65^{\circ}=130^{\circ}$

Hence, the minor arc BC has the same measure as the central angle BOC that is 130°.

The major arc BC has the measure

$360^{\circ}-130^{\circ}=230^{\circ}$
