Using the numbers 5, 8, and 24, create a problem using no more than four operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, square, square root, cube, cube root) where the solution will be an irrational number. Explain why the result of your operations is an irrational number.


Please help!!!! Need help!!!

Don't give your real name our people

awsome thanks even though i didn't post this question

First No. I am not Justin Bieber my real name is Jaimie Blake.

Second: THANK YOU SOOO MUCH FOR BEING WRONG.

u welcom

L.R Is wrong, non of those are irrational numbers.

actually she is right. IF you look at the other answers people put on then yeah she is correct. Thanks Lizbeth. BTW: That is alo my cousins name Lizbeth. Tysm again it helped me a ton! :) I only put my initials anyway

Sure! Let's create a problem using the numbers 5, 8, and 24 where the solution will be an irrational number.

Problem: Find the value of √(24 ÷ (5 + 8))

To solve this problem, we need to perform the following operations:

1. Addition: 5 + 8 = 13
2. Division: 24 ÷ 13 = 1.84615384615...
3. Square root: √(1.84615384615...) = 1.35973916952127...

The result of these operations is an irrational number because the square root of 1.84615384615... is a non-repeating, non-terminating decimal. It cannot be expressed as a fraction or a ratio of two integers. Therefore, it is irrational.

good answer

(5*8*24)

(5+8+24)
5/8+24
