Answer:

Rational

Explanation:

Quick Easy Eliminations:

We can get rid of positive integer as the sum of these roots is a decimal which is not a whole number. Hence, we can eliminate 2 options, C. Positive integer and D. Whole Number.

First solve:

6√14 + √14

= 7√14 (Decimal form: 26.191602)

What we need is the decimal form in order to determine if it's rational or irrational.

A rational number is any integer, fraction, terminating decimal, or repeating decimal.
