Answer

$\left\{-\sqrt{2},\sqrt{11}\right\}$

Work Step by Step

The number $\sqrt{-8}$ is an imaginary number since the radicand (equal to to $-8$) is a negative number and the index (equal to $2$) is an even number. Irrational numbers are numbers that cannot be expressed as a ratio between two integers. So in decimal form, the decimal value is nonterminating and nonrepeating. Hence, from the given set, $ \left\{-\dfrac{9}{4},-2,-\sqrt{2},0,0.6,\sqrt{11},\sqrt{-8},6,\dfrac{30}{3}\right\} $ the rational numbers are \begin{align*} \left\{-\sqrt{2},\sqrt{11}\right\} .\end{align*}
