Answer:
9.78083151 irrational
Explanation:
Here, we want to sum 2/5 + √(88) and check if it is rational or irrational
2/5 = 0.4
√88 = 2 √22
So 0.4 + 2 √22
So what we want to do here is add a rational number to an irrational number. Kindly recall that surds are irrational numbers.
Mathematically, adding a rational number to an irrational one gives an irrational result
so we have;
9.780831519647 irrational
