Hello.
A rational number can be expressed as a fraction.
Let's check if we can express the given numbers as fractions.
The first number is √5.
Can we express √5 as a fraction? No.
Why? Because √5=2.236...
We cannot express this number as a fraction.
Thus, √5 is irrational.
Let's check the other 3 numbers.
The second number is -2.
Can we express -2 as a fraction? Sure!
Thus, -2 is rational.
What about the third number?
Well, it's already a fraction.
Seems like Option A is the right option, huh? Well, let's check the last one as well.
The last one is √9.
9 does have a square root, unlike 5.
It equals 3:
√9=3
Let's express 3 as a fraction:
Therefore, Option A is the right option ;)
I hope it helps.
Have a great day.

Answer:
d = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is
= a₁ + (n - 1)d
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference
Give a₁₀ = 67 and a₁ = 4 , then
a₁ + 9d = 67
4 + 9d = 67 ( subtract 4 from both sides )
9d = 63 ( divide both sides by 9 )
d = 7
