Which of the following is an irrational number?
An irrational number is any number that cannot be written as a fraction of whole numbers. The number pi and square roots of non-perfect squares are examples of irrational numbers.
can be written as the fraction
. The term
is a whole number. The square root of
is
, also a rational number.
, however, is not a perfect square, and its square root, therefore, is irrational.

Which of the following is an integer?
The correct answer will yield a whole number as a simplified answer. Integers cannot contain decimals quantities.
The only answer that will yield a whole number term is since simplifying this root will yield
.
The correct answer is:
Which of the following is an odd number?
I.
II.
III.
IV.
V.
II, III, V
I, III, IV
II, V
I, III, V
II, III, IV
Odd numbers are integers that have a ones digit that ends in ,
,
,
, or
. Choices II, III, V are odd numbers because they have a ones digit of
,
, and
respectively.
Which is a square number?
Square numbers have one factor. If that factor is multiplied by itself, then the number becomes a perfect square. The only number in the selection that meets this requirement is . We can multiply
twice to get the perfect square
