1. Problem Description

The problem consists of several sub-problems:

1. Classify numbers as rational or irrational. The numbers are $2\pi$, $-\frac{4}{2}$, $\sqrt{20}$, and $7.04339265$.

2. Write each repeating decimal as a fraction in simplest form. These problems are crossed out.

3. Simplify expressions, writing only positive exponents. The expressions are $3^4 \cdot 3^8$, $25^{-6} \cdot 5^{-6}$, $(2x^5)^4$, and $6x^0y^{-9}$.

4. Solve the equation $x^2 + 29 = 225$.

5. Approximate $\sqrt{13}$ to the nearest tenth and plot it on the number line.

2. Solution Steps

Problem 1:
a. 2π2\pi is irrational because π\pi is irrational, and any non-zero rational number times an irrational number is irrational.
b. 42=2-\frac{4}{2} = -2 which is an integer and thus rational.
c. 20=45=25\sqrt{20} = \sqrt{4 \cdot 5} = 2\sqrt{5}. Since 5\sqrt{5} is irrational, 252\sqrt{5} is also irrational.
d. 7.043392657.04339265 is a terminating decimal, so it is rational.
Problem 3:
a. 3438=34+8=3123^4 \cdot 3^8 = 3^{4+8} = 3^{12}
b. 25656=(255)6=(125)6=(53)6=518=151825^{-6} \cdot 5^{-6} = (25 \cdot 5)^{-6} = (125)^{-6} = (5^3)^{-6} = 5^{-18} = \frac{1}{5^{18}}
c. (2x5)4=24(x5)4=16x54=16x20(2x^5)^4 = 2^4 \cdot (x^5)^4 = 16x^{5 \cdot 4} = 16x^{20}
d. 6x0y9=61y9=6y96x^0y^{-9} = 6 \cdot 1 \cdot y^{-9} = \frac{6}{y^9}
Problem 4:
x2+29=225x^2 + 29 = 225
x2=22529x^2 = 225 - 29
x2=196x^2 = 196
x=±196x = \pm \sqrt{196}
x=±14x = \pm 14
Problem 5:
Since 32=93^2 = 9 and 42=164^2 = 16, 13\sqrt{13} is between 3 and

4. $3.5^2 = 12.25$

3.62=12.963.6^2 = 12.96
3.72=13.693.7^2 = 13.69
So, 13\sqrt{13} is closer to 3.6 than 3.

7. We want the nearest tenth, so we check $3.6$.

133.6\sqrt{13} \approx 3.6

3. Final Answer

1. a. Irrational

b. Rational
c. Irrational
d. Rational

2. Not Applicable

3. a. $3^{12}$

b. 1518\frac{1}{5^{18}}
c. 16x2016x^{20}
d. 6y9\frac{6}{y^9}

4. $x = \pm 14$

5. $\sqrt{13} \approx 3.6$ (Plot 3.6 on the number line between 3 and 4)
