Question

u²=17/4, In the given equation, find whether variables x, y, z etc. represent rational or irrational numbers.

Answer 1

U² = 17 / 4

=> U = √17/4

√ 17 cannot be simplified. Hence it will remain as √17 as such.

√ 4 = 2

Hence U is equal to :

U = + √17 / 2 , - √17 / 2

Since √ 17 is an irrational number, √ 17 / 2 is also an irrational number.

Answer 2

$\bold{Answer :}$

Now,

u² = 17/4

or, u² = {(√17)/2}²

or, u = ± (√17)/2

We know that √17 is an irrational number; so
± (√17)/2 are also an irrational number

∴ u is an irrational number
