The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given options represents the decimal expansion of an irrational number, we need to understand the characteristics of irrational numbers. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Definition of Irrational Numbers**: - Irrational numbers are numbers that cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers. Their decimal expansions are non-terminating and non-repeating. 2. **Analyze Each Option**: - **Option 1: 4.561** - This is a terminating decimal (it ends after three decimal places). - **Conclusion**: Not an irrational number. - **Option 2: 0.12 bar (0.121212...)** - This is a repeating decimal (the digits "12" repeat indefinitely). - **Conclusion**: Not an irrational number. - **Option 3: 5.01001... (with 0001 repeating)** - This is also a repeating decimal (the digits "0001" repeat indefinitely). - **Conclusion**: Not an irrational number. - **Option 4: 6.03** - This is a terminating decimal (it ends after two decimal places). - **Conclusion**: Not an irrational number. 3. **Identify the Correct Option**: - After analyzing all the options, we find that none of the options provided are non-terminating and non-repeating. However, if we consider the closest option that does not repeat and does not terminate, we can conclude that none of the options represent an irrational number. ### Final Conclusion: - Based on the analysis, none of the given options represent the decimal expansion of an irrational number.

To determine which of the given options represents the decimal expansion of an irrational number, we need to understand the characteristics of irrational numbers. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Definition of Irrational Numbers**: - Irrational numbers are numbers that cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers.
