We have
√4 = 2 =2/1
√4 can be written in the form of p/q, so it is a rational number.
Its decimal representation is 2.0.
We have,
3√18 = 3√2 x 3 x 3
= 3 x 3√2
= 9√2
Since, the product of a rations and an irrational is an irrational number.
9√2 is an irrational
=> 3 √18 is an irrational number.
We have,
√1.44 = √144/100
=12/10
=1.2
Every terminating decimal is a rational number, so 1.2 is a rational number. Its decimal representation is 1.2.
We have,
√9/27 = 3/√27 = 3/√3 x 3 x 3
=3/3√3
=1/√3
Quotient of a rational and an irrational number is irrational numbers so 1/√3 is an irrational number.
=>√9/27 is an irrational number.
We have,
-√64 = -√8 x 8
= -8
= -8/1
-√ 64 can be expressed in the form of p/q ,so -√64 is a rotational number.
Its decimal representation is -8.0.
We have,
√100=10
=10/1
√100 can be expressed in the form of p/q, so √100 is a rational number.
The decimal representation of √100 is 10.0.
