Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:  B

Discussion:

A. (216) ^ (1/3) = 6  -- rational

B. 144 ^ (1/3) = could be... let's check other answers

C. 125 ^ (1/3) = 5   -- rational

D.64^ (1/3) =4  -- rational


So choice B is the answer.  (The answer was determined by elimination. We have not proved that choice B is actually an irrational number)



Thank you,

MrB

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Option A : [tex]\sqrt[3]{216} =\sqrt[3]{(6)^3} =6[/tex]  Rational number

Option B : [tex]\sqrt[3]{144}=\sqrt[3]{3\times3\times\2\times2\times2\times2}=2\sqrt{18}[/tex]  Irrational number

Option C : [tex]\sqrt[3]{125}=\sqrt[3]{(5)^3} =5[/tex]  Rational number

Option D : [tex]\sqrt[3]{64}=\sqrt[3]{(4)^3} =4[/tex]  Rational number
