The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given options is irrational, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Option A: \( \sqrt{\frac{4}{9}} \) 1. **Calculate the square root:** \[ \sqrt{\frac{4}{9}} = \frac{\sqrt{4}}{\sqrt{9}} = \frac{2}{3} \] 2. **Determine if it is rational:** - \( \frac{2}{3} \) can be expressed in the form \( \frac{p}{q} \) where \( p = 2 \) and \( q = 3 \) (and \( q \neq 0 \)). - Therefore, \( \frac{2}{3} \) is a rational number. ### Step 2: Analyze Option B: \( \frac{\sqrt{12}}{\sqrt{3}} \) 1. **Simplify \( \sqrt{12} \):** \[ \sqrt{12} = \sqrt{4 \times 3} = \sqrt{4} \times \sqrt{3} = 2\sqrt{3} \] 2. **Substitute back into the expression:** \[ \frac{\sqrt{12}}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{2\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}} = 2 \] 3. **Determine if it is rational:** - The number \( 2 \) can also be expressed as \( \frac{2}{1} \). - Therefore, \( 2 \) is a rational number. ### Step 3: Analyze Option C: \( \sqrt{7} \) 1. **Determine if it is rational:** - The number \( \sqrt{7} \) cannot be expressed in the form \( \frac{p}{q} \) where \( p \) and \( q \) are integers. - \( \sqrt{7} \) is an irrational number. ### Step 4: Analyze Option D: \( \sqrt{81} \) 1. **Calculate the square root:** \[ \sqrt{81} = 9 \] 2. **Determine if it is rational:** - The number \( 9 \) can be expressed as \( \frac{9}{1} \). - Therefore, \( 9 \) is a rational number. ### Conclusion After analyzing all options, we find that the only irrational number among the options is: **Option C: \( \sqrt{7} \)** ---
