Answer:
Jillian is incorrect because [tex]\sqrt{25}[/tex] is equal to 5, which is a rational number.
Step-by-step explanation:
A number is called rational number if it can be defined in the form of [tex]\frac{p}{q}[/tex], where p and q are integers, q≠0.
I real number is called irrational if it cannot be defined as in the form of [tex]\frac{p}{q}[/tex].
The given number is
[tex]\sqrt{25}[/tex]
It can be written as
[tex]\sqrt{25}=\sqrt{(5)^2}[/tex]
[tex]\sqrt{25}=5[/tex]
[tex]\sqrt{25}[/tex] is equal to 5, which is a rational number.
Therefore [tex]\sqrt{25}[/tex] is a rational numbers and Jillian is incorrect.
