Classify the following numbers as rational or irrational. give reasons to support your answer.
(i) $\sqrt{\frac{3}{81}}$
(ii) $\sqrt{361}$
(iii) $\sqrt{21}$
(iv) $\sqrt{1.44}$
(v) $\frac{2}{3} \sqrt{6}$
(vi) $4.1276$
(vii) $\frac{22}{7}$
(viii) $1.232332333 .$
(ix) $3.040040004$
(x) $2.356565656$
(xi) $6.834834 \ldots$
(i) $\sqrt{\frac{3}{81}}$
$\sqrt{\frac{3}{81}}=\sqrt{\frac{1}{27}}=\frac{1}{3} \sqrt{\frac{1}{3}}$
It is an irrational number.
(ii) $\sqrt{\mathbf{3 6 1}}=19$
So, it is rational.
(iii) $\sqrt{21}$
$\sqrt{21}=\sqrt{3} \times \sqrt{7}=4.58257 \ldots$
It is an irrational number.
(iv) $\sqrt{1.44}=1.2$
So, it is rational.
(v) $\frac{2}{3} \sqrt{6}$
It is an irrational number
(vi) 4.1276
It is a terminating decimal. Hence, it is rational.
(vii) $\frac{22}{7}$
$\frac{22}{7}$ is a rational number because it can be expressed in the $\frac{p}{q}$ form.
(viii) $1.232332333 \ldots$ is an irrational number because it is a non - terminating, non - repeating decimal.
(ix) $3.040040004 \ldots$ is an irrational number because it is a non-terminating, non-repeating decimal.
(x) $2.356565656 \ldots$ is a rational number because it is repeating.
(xi) $6.834834 \ldots$ is a rational number because it is repeating.
