9. Which of the following is not an algebraic number?

Answer: Euler's number (e=2.718...)

Algebraic numbers include fractions (5/3 or 2/19), integers (-3, 0, or 14), and powers and roots of other algebraic numbers (7 to the one-half power, or 9.22 raised to the seven-thirds power). The golden ratio is a fraction, (1+5^.5)/2. 42 is an integer.

The square root of 2 is, of course, a root. Euler's number, e, is not algebraic, since its digits go on infinitely after the decimal point without repeating, it is irrational, and it cannot be expressed as a power of any algebraic number. e is therefore called a transcendental number.

Answer: Mali
