Option (C) √3 + 8.486 is an irrational number.
An irrational number is a type of real number which cannot be represented as a simple fraction. It cannot be expressed in the form of a ratio. Those real numbers that are not rational numbers are known as irrational numbers.
For the given situation,
We need to check the options, that is irrational.
Option A: 7.51... x -4
⇒ [tex](7.51 ) (-4)[/tex]
We can express this as fraction. So it is not an irrational number.
Option B: root 16 + 3/4
⇒ [tex]\sqrt{16} +\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]4+\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
We can express this as fraction. So it is not an irrational number.
Option C: root 3 + 8.486
⇒ [tex]\sqrt{3} +8.486[/tex]
⇒ [tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] is an irrational number, so the sum is also an irrational number.
Option D: 8 2/3 × 17.75
⇒ [tex](8\frac{2}{3})(17.75)[/tex]
We can express this as fraction. So it is not an irrational number.
Hence we can conclude that option (C) √3 + 8.486 an irrational number.
