Answer:

√62: irrational

√100: rational

Step-by-step explanation:

A number is rational if it can be written in the form of: p/q, where p and q are integers.

Look at √62. This is about 7.87, but this is just an approximation; in fact, we can't write the exact value of √62 without actually writing "√62". Because of that, √62 cannot be written as p/q and is thus irrational.

Now look at √100. This is equal to 10, which can be written as 10/1, 20/2, 30/3, etc. Because it can be written in the form p/q, we know that √100 is a rational number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Determine if [tex]\sqrt{62}[/tex] is rational or irrational

[tex]\sqrt{62}[/tex] → [tex]7.87400787...[/tex]

This number is irrational because the number never terminates so therefore, the number is irrational.

Step 2:  Determine if [tex]\sqrt{100}[/tex] is rational or irrational

[tex]\sqrt{100}[/tex] → [tex]10[/tex]

This number is rational because the number terminates and is a complete number therefore, the number is rational

Answer:  [tex]\sqrt{62}[/tex] is irrational, [tex]\sqrt{100}[/tex] is rational
