  1. 1. (a) √2√2 is non-terminating, non-recurring — irrational.
  2. 2. (c) p/q with q ≠ 0Rational numbers have the form p/q, q ≠ 0.
  3. 3. (a) non-terminating and non-recurringIrrational numbers have non-terminating, non-recurring decimals.
  4. 4. (d) √(ab)Product rule of surds: √a × √b = √(ab).
  5. 5. Rational: 1.5 (= 3/2); irrational: √2 ≈ 1.414.
  6. 6. Irrational (e.g. 2 × √3 = 2√3).
  7. 7. Multiply numerator and denominator by the conjugate (√5 + √2): (√5 + √2)/[(√5 − √2)(√5 + √2)] = (√5 + √2)/(5 − 2) = (√5 + √2)/3.
