The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the following numbers is irrational, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step 1: Identify the options Let's assume the options provided are: 1. \( \sqrt{4} \) 2. \( \frac{\sqrt{4}}{3} \) 3. \( \sqrt{1250} \) 4. \( \frac{\sqrt{24}}{\sqrt{6}} \) ### Step 2: Analyze each option **Option 1: \( \sqrt{4} \)** - The square root of 4 is 2, which is a rational number. **Conclusion:** \( \sqrt{4} = 2 \) (Rational) --- **Option 2: \( \frac{\sqrt{4}}{3} \)** - Since \( \sqrt{4} = 2 \), we have \( \frac{2}{3} \), which is also a rational number. **Conclusion:** \( \frac{\sqrt{4}}{3} = \frac{2}{3} \) (Rational) --- **Option 3: \( \sqrt{1250} \)** - We can simplify \( \sqrt{1250} \): - Factor 1250: \( 1250 = 25 \times 50 = 25 \times 25 \times 2 = 5^3 \times 2 \). - Thus, \( \sqrt{1250} = \sqrt{5^3 \times 2} = 5\sqrt{10} \). - Since \( \sqrt{10} \) is not a perfect square, it is irrational. **Conclusion:** \( \sqrt{1250} = 5\sqrt{10} \) (Irrational) --- **Option 4: \( \frac{\sqrt{24}}{\sqrt{6}} \)** - Simplifying \( \frac{\sqrt{24}}{\sqrt{6}} \): - \( \sqrt{24} = \sqrt{4 \times 6} = 2\sqrt{6} \). - Therefore, \( \frac{\sqrt{24}}{\sqrt{6}} = \frac{2\sqrt{6}}{\sqrt{6}} = 2 \). - Since 2 is a rational number, this option is rational. **Conclusion:** \( \frac{\sqrt{24}}{\sqrt{6}} = 2 \) (Rational) ### Final Answer: The only irrational number among the options is **Option 3: \( \sqrt{1250} \)**. ---
