Both √25 and √121 are perfect squares, simplifying to 5/11, a rational number. This challenges the misconception that expressions involving square roots are always irrational due to the misunderstanding that square roots inherently negate rationality, which is not the case when dealing with perfect squares .

Simplifying the expression gives √(100) + (5×5√125), which is √(100) + 25√5. Since √5 is irrational, multiplying and adding it to rational numbers results in an irrational number .

π is considered irrational because it cannot be exactly expressed as a fraction of two integers, and its decimal expansion is non-terminating and non-repeating. The representation of π as 22/7 is an approximation and not exact, thus misleadingly suggesting it as rational .

Substituting x = √8 into the expression results in 5√8 + 2 + 3√8 - √10. The expression simplifies to 8√8 + 2 - √10. Since both √8 and √10 are irrational, their sum and product with rational coefficients result in an irrational number .

The claim is incorrect because the real number system includes both rational and irrational numbers. Rational numbers only represent numbers that can be expressed as a ratio of integers, while irrational numbers, like √2 and π, cannot. Hence, rational numbers are only a subset of real numbers, not the entire system .

A rational number can be expressed as a fraction of two integers, where the denominator is not zero, and when represented as a decimal, it either terminates or repeats. An irrational number cannot be expressed as a simple fraction and its decimal representation neither terminates nor repeats .

Distinguishing decimals is significant because it aids in categorizing numbers as rational or irrational. Terminating or repeating decimals indicate rational numbers, as they can be expressed as fractions. Non-repeating, non-terminating decimals signify irrational numbers, which cannot be represented as simple fractions .

The statement is false because the set of real numbers includes both rational and irrational numbers, making the real numbers a superset rather than a subset. Irrational numbers are just a part of the real number set, not the whole of it .

The expression √m/√n is irrational when neither m nor n is a perfect square. This results in the square roots themselves being irrational, hence making their quotient irrational as well .

Substituting a = 1, b = 0, and c = -4 into the quadratic formula yields (-0 ± √(0² - 4×1×-4)) / 2×1, which simplifies to ±√16/2 = ±4/2 = ±2, a rational number .
