Answer:

The answer is Irrational Number.

Explanation:

In order to determine the group of numbers, we have to use the properties of root.

The number is:


√(2) *(5+√(8))\\(√(2)*5)+(√(2)*√(8))\\5*√(2) +√(16)\\5*√(2) +4

Then, we have to know three definitions:

  1. All rational numbers can be written as fractions equation, with a being an integer and b being a natural number.
  2. Irrational numbers can not be written as fractions notation.
  3. When a prime number is inside of a square root, the number is always a irrational.

Finally,
5*√(2) +4 has a
√(2), that it is a irrational number, therefore the addition is a irrational number too.
