Hello,

√2*(5+√8)=5√2+4
Answer D


Answer:

The answer is Irrational Number.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine the group of numbers, we have to use the properties of root.

The number is:

[tex]\sqrt{2} *(5+\sqrt{8})\\(\sqrt{2}*5)+(\sqrt{2}*\sqrt{8})\\5*\sqrt{2} +\sqrt{16}\\5*\sqrt{2} +4[/tex]

Then, we have to know three definitions:

  1. All rational numbers can be written as fractions equation, with a being an integer and b being a natural number.
  2. Irrational numbers can not be written as fractions notation.
  3. When a prime number is inside of a square root, the number is always a irrational.

Finally, [tex]5*\sqrt{2} +4[/tex] has a [tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex], that it is a irrational number, therefore the addition is a irrational number too.
