Q. Select all the numbers that are irrational.\newlineMulti-select Choices:\newline(A) 2\sqrt{2}\newline(B) 23\frac{2}{3}\newline(C) 0.80.\overline{8}\newline(D) π2\frac{\pi}{2}\newline(E) 4.99-4.99
  1. Analyze 2\sqrt{2}: Step 11: Analyze the first choice, 2\sqrt{2}. 2\sqrt{2} is known to be an irrational number because it cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers.
  2. Consider 23\frac{2}{3}: Step 22: Look at choice (B), which is 23\frac{2}{3}. This is a rational number because it is expressed as a fraction where both numerator and denominator are integers.
  3. Examine 0.80.\overline{8}: Step 33: Consider choice (C), which is 0.80.\overline{8}. This represents the repeating decimal 0.8880.888\ldots, which can be expressed as a fraction (89)(\frac{8}{9}), making it a rational number.
  4. Evaluate π/2\pi/2: Step 44: Evaluate choice (D), π/2\pi/2. Pi (π\pi) is an irrational number, and dividing it by 22 does not change its nature; thus, π/2\pi/2 is also irrational.
  5. Examine 4.99-4.99: Step 55: Examine choice (E), 4.99-4.99. This is a decimal number that can be exactly expressed as 499100-\frac{499}{100}, which is a rational number.
