The number of s.f or rounding off
If you want to use a rational number for a mathematical operation, it will be necessary to estimate it for a numerical outcome. Irrational numbers can't be written out exactly.
None, since 57 is NOT an irrational number.
An irrational number has a never-ending decimal expansion. To estimate it's value, you'd just state the expansion to some number of digits. Ex: sqrt(2) is approximately 1.4142135623730950488 pi is approximately 3.14159265358979323846
How an irrational number is estimated depends on the nature of the number. The reason for estimating them is that two of the most important numbers in mathematics: pi in geometry and e in calculus, are both irrational. Also, the diagonal of a unit square is of length sqrt(2), an irrational. Irrational numbers crop up everywhere: there are more irrational numbers than there are rational.
An irrational number.
The sum of a rational and irrational number must be an irrational number.
No. The sum of an irrational number and any other [real] number is irrational.
rational * irrational = irrational.
No, 3.56 is not an irrational number. 3.56 is rational.
-Pi is irrational, because it does not terminate or repeat. Whenever you multiply an irrational number by a rational number (-1), the result is an irrational number.
A negative irrational number can be thought of as an irrational number multiplied by -1, or an irrational number with a minus sign in front of it.
At least one of the factors has to be irrational.* An irrational number times ANY number (except zero) is irrational. * The product of two irrational numbers can be either rational or irrational.
