Respuesta :

both are irrational. pick the first option.

Answer:

The correct option is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a number is defined as [tex]\frac{p}{q}[/tex], where p and q are distinct integers and q≠0, then it is called a rational number.

For example: 0.2, 3/4, 5%.

If a number can not be defined as [tex]\frac{p}{q}[/tex], where p and q are integers and q≠0, then it is called an irrational number.

For example: √2, √3, √(0.3).

The given numbers can be written as

[tex]\sqrt{15}=\sqrt{3\times 5}=\sqrt{3}\sqrt{5}[/tex]

Since [tex]\sqrt{15}[/tex] is the product of two irrational numbers [tex]\sqrt{3}\text{ and }\sqrt{5}[/tex], therefore [tex]\sqrt{15}[/tex] is an irrational number.

[tex]\sqrt{0.001}=\sqrt{\frac{1}{1000}}=\frac{1}{10\sqrt{10}}[/tex]

If any numbers is divisible by an irrational number, then the resultant number is irrational. So, [tex]\sqrt{0.001}[/tex] is an irrational number.

Both [tex]\sqrt{15}[/tex] and [tex]\sqrt{0.001}[/tex] are irrational. Therefore the correct option is 1.
