Solution

To answer this question, we need to understand what a rational number is. A rational number is a number that can be expressed as a fraction where both the numerator and the denominator are integers (whole numbers) and the denominator is not zero.

The equation given is r^2 = 6. To find r, we take the square root of both sides, which gives us r = sqrt(6).

The square root of 6 is approximately 2.44948974278, which is not a rational number because it cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers. Therefore, a rational r does not exist for r^2 = 6.

So, the answer is:

b. No, a rational r does not exist.
