Question 1 • Algebra II

Which number is irrational?

Answer
A
2 ninths
B
8 point 2 repeating 6
C
square root of 11
D
negative 4

Explanation

A rational number can be written as a ratio of integers. Two ninths and negative 4 are rational, and 8.2666… is a repeating decimal, so it is rational too. The square root of 11 is irrational because 11 is not a perfect square, so its square root cannot be written as a ratio of integers.
