The correct Answer is:
To insert two irrational numbers between 5 and 6, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the range We need to find two irrational numbers that lie between 5 and 6. ### Step 2: Choose a base number Let's start with a number between 5 and 6. We can choose 5.5 as a base point. ### Step 3: Create an irrational number To create an irrational number, we can add a non-repeating, non-terminating decimal to our base number. For example, we can take the square root of a non-perfect square. 1. **First Irrational Number**: - We can take \( \sqrt{2} \) which is approximately 1.414. - Now, add this to 5: \[ 5 + \sqrt{2} \approx 5 + 1.414 = 6.414 \] - Since this is greater than 6, we can subtract instead: \[ 5 + \sqrt{2} - 1 \approx 5 + 1.414 - 1 = 5.414 \] - So, the first irrational number is \( 5 + \sqrt{2} - 1 \approx 5.414 \). 2. **Second Irrational Number**: - Now, let's use \( \sqrt{3} \) which is approximately 1.732. - Again, add this to 5: \[ 5 + \sqrt{3} \approx 5 + 1.732 = 6.732 \] - Since this is also greater than 6, we can subtract: \[ 5 + \sqrt{3} - 1 \approx 5 + 1.732 - 1 = 5.732 \] - So, the second irrational number is \( 5 + \sqrt{3} - 1 \approx 5.732 \). ### Conclusion Thus, two irrational numbers between 5 and 6 are: 1. \( 5 + \sqrt{2} - 1 \approx 5.414 \) 2. \( 5 + \sqrt{3} - 1 \approx 5.732 \)
