Answer 1

A) 9.78083151..., irrational

I just took the quiz on edge

Answer 2

9.78083151 irrational

Explanation:

Here, we want to sum 2/5 + √(88) and check if it is rational or irrational

2/5 = 0.4

√88 = 2 √22

So 0.4 + 2 √22

So what we want to do here is add a rational number to an irrational number. Kindly recall that surds are irrational numbers.

Mathematically, adding a rational number to an irrational one gives an irrational result

so we have;

9.780831519647 irrational
